This isn't saying that it's hard to get saved. It's saying it's impossible without Jesus. It's saying the "many who strive" are those who are trying to get to heaven by a way other than the Gate, Jesus.
God wants to save people. He is not looking for excuses to condemn people, as the writer of this "interpretation" seems to think.
Really,
bearbear, you are starting to sound like a Mormon or something. Truly, this stuff you are preaching is not the gospel. It's salvation by works.
