UNLEARNING THE LIES ABOUT HEAVEN - The End

MY FINAL SUBMISSION

Great and mighty is our God who took on the form of man to redeem man. He wrote a counsel before time began to tick. He made a plan that was concealed for his sons to reveal. He made everything; the heaven, the earth, the thrones, the kingdoms, the powers and others for his pleasure. He created light and darkness, he created the good and the bad, and he is sovereign and knows the end from the beginning!

He is not bound by time and space. Although he is eternal, he is older than eternity.

That he desired to have a family of sons who will look like him, live and do things exactly like him was the goal of his eternal counsel. This he did by creating man in his own image and bringing him to existence on earth. Although man was formed from dust, that was not his aim. The man who will establish the kingdom must be created, but this all must play according to the eternal counsel. Man must fall, and another dimension of God must be revealed to his creation; which is the dimension of his unconditional love. This was the love that brought us where we are today.

That Adam lost the kingdom to Satan was part of the plan. So Satan was a character in the eternal counsel. He thought he was been smart and wise by deceiving the first woman, but he had crucified the lord of Glory before he knew that he was been used.

God must express his love to his sons, which was what he did all at salvation. He did not involve man at all in any of the process. Except for logistics, man was not included in the redemption work. God did all the saving. His goal was to regain the lost kingdom and bring us into it. His plan was to make many kings rule this kingdom at a time. We are the kings! He is the KING of kings! We receive from him and we act. We have been translated into this kingdom of the Lord God by the eternal seal of the Holy Spirit!

What we were taught as the Lord’s Prayer is no more valid…”thy kingdom come” is outdated! The kingdom has come since 2000+ years ago. The kingdom is coming to its full establishment now. The speed of takeover was slowed down by UNSKILLFUL and LEGAL TEACHERS of the word of God. They shifted the focus of the church away from the eternal counsel of kingdom establishment, and made the church to run after vain ambition of making heaven! But the Day of Judgment is here! The army is rising! We will return the church back to the mind of God! The Kingdom must speed up.

We have a mandate, we must not fail God! He did his role and said “it is finished”, we are yet to finish ours! We have not overthrown the kingdom of darkness form their hideouts! We are still busy fighting ourselves because of material things and men of God are running after big auditoriums and church membership population. We have neglected the plan of God from eternity past.

The last army is here, Judgment has started from the house of God. Those who have turn the believers to slaves and made lord over them will face the axe. This last move of God will uproot the tares from the midst of the wheat into the fire. All doctrines and beliefs that were planted as a seed by religion will all be uprooted. The church that Jesus died for cannot be caged like this forever! We will not watch it happen! We are the sons that the creation has been waiting for, creation has now started rejoicing because the manifestations are ongoing.

An average believer today is CHASING AN AMBITION TO MAKE HEAVEN AT ALL COST TO LIVE IN A BIG MANSION FOREVER! What an insult upon the finished work of the Cross! They took the redemption work as something that was not necessary!

Imagine how these legal preachers have scared many believers whom Jesus imputed righteousness and holiness for free, to strive to be holy again and even say that they will go to Hell. Some of this people are more dangerous than Moses! They take everything in the bible and swallow it just like that! They just remove verses anyhow from any place in the bible to scare people about hell! Your time is up! The judgment day is here!

Many people would have been more productive and fruitful for the Kingdom and we would have taken over this earth many years back if these STUBBORN LEGAL PEOPLE had not existed.

Then kingdom reformers and revivalist are rising from every corners of the world, we will first correct the error and ignorance among our Christian brethren, then we will face religion and defeat him flawlessly, then we will wipe off everything that has exalted itself above the throne of Jesus Christ. We will not pray “a die by fire kind of prayer’, we will enforce the victory of the Ancient one at resurrection!

Then the words in the book of Revelation 11:15 will finally be fulfilled…

“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD ARE BECOME THE KINGDOMS OF OUR LORD, AND OF HIS CHRIST; and he shall reign forever and ever”

Amen.

IN MY FATHER’S HOUSE ARE MANY MANSIONS – WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Jesus said to his disciples in John 14:2 that “In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you”

For many hundreds of years now in the body of Christ, this has been translated to mean that there are mansions in Heaven prepared for believers who go there to live forever after they die. This is very contradicting to the purpose of God for the Kingdom. The Bible made it clear that the Kingdom of God will be established on earth many times both in the OT and in the NT (see lessons 2 & 3). So a dream of living in a beautiful gigantic building in heaven cannot be true. Since this is the only place in the entire bible that MANSIONS in the Father’s house was mentioned. So as not to fall into error, good bible students will not use this verse in isolation but do a proper exegesis to see if this was actually referring to the claim above.

Now, follow closely…

Jesus said; Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

Now the disciples were at first troubled when Jesus told them about this mansion in his father’s house.  So we must first understand why they are troubled before we understand the meaning of jesus’ statement.

It is important to note that Jesus in the preceding chapter has just told them about his death and glorification and that he will leave them for A MOMENT. This was what made the disciples to be troubled. They never wanted Jesus to leave, they were afraid of what could befall them and all sort of things…

See what he said towards the end of Chapter 13…

 VERSE 33 - Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.

Note that Jesus said BOTH THE JEWS AND THE DISCIPLES cannot go to where he is going. If it were to be heaven, Jesus must be telling lies here. There are many people in heaven already, just before this conversation, Elijah and Moses had just come from there. So Jesus was not referring to heaven or paradise as where he is going and where the Jews and the disciples cannot come. Are you following?

Then after that Jesus said…

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.

Peter was actually the one mostly troubled, so he asked again, this is because he came to understand that Jesus was not talking about paradise, that where Jesus was going is not heaven, so he said “where are you going?”… Now see the newly improved reply Jesus gave to him, he said HE MUST GO THERE FIRST AND THEY WOULD FOLLOW HIM AFTER (this is not rapture, just follow to the end please)

Now, this was what they discussed till John 14, lets follow the conversation a bit more and we will get there now.

John 14:1…

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

Peter’s reactions and probably all of them, made Jesus to say this.

Is Jesus saying the disciples did not believe him before? Yes! They were never born again. One can only be born again by believing. This leads us to the next point Jesus raised…which is tied to believing Jesus.

^“ In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.”

Some versions use “rooms” instead of “mansions”. Whether rooms or mansions, Jesus said they are in his father’s house. We have established in lesson 1 & 2 of this series that heaven is not the home of God, so the father’s house could not be heaven. Don’t forget Jesus had just told them that they cannot come to this place now, but will follow him after. He said “follow” because he would first go there to prepare a place for them. This is not rapture!

The father’s house here is the kingdom of God! The mansions or rooms are our lot or places in the kingdom. Jesus was first to enter into this kingdom as the firstborn son of God, then the disciples were second to enter, like that like that till today. They said they cannot follow him because they were not born again, they were not sanctified, they were not saved, they were not yet Sons – both the disciples and the Jews were not yet qualified to enter God’s kingdom at that time.

Jesus must be the one to redeem us all and then bring us into the kingdom. That was why he specifically said even they cannot come to where he was going unless he go there first, it is not heaven it is the kingdom of God!

Then he said…

^“ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”

This is not rapture. Going to prepare a place was what Jesus did within three days of his death and resurrection. You remember what Jesus told Mary Magdalene when on that resurrection morning? “he said, I have not YET ASCENDED TO THE FATHER! He was supposed to go to the father for the redemption work to complete and then come back (which he did) to bring the disciples and all others that would believe him into the place he has prepared with himself in the Father! He is not talking about a rapture here!

The whole book of Hebrews 8, 9, 10 explained this in detail. He said “I will receive you to myself”, this is not rapture! This is what happened to all of us at salvation. We were made to sit with Christ in the heavenly places at the right hand of God; our life was hid with Christ. We return to our source. So where he is right now, is where we are also. He is not talking about going to Heaven to live forever. All these words of Jesus have been fulfilled already. He has truly prepared that mansion or room in the heart of the father and he has brought us into Mount Zion, the city of the living God! those who die before resurrection go to ABRAHAM’S BOSOM, WE GO TO THE FATHER’S HEART!

Let’s finish this quickly…

“ And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Jesus finally concluded it here with the answer to all the questions they have been asking; he said “I GO TO THE FATHER!” he was not going to heaven to build beautiful houses; he is going to the father! He was going to atone for our sins; he was going to offer himself as our substitute that we may be allowed into the kingdom of the father! Rapture and Heavenly mansions are not included in this passage at all!

I hope you get it?

There are no mansions in heaven my friend!  You have been deceived for long. In fact many of the preachers of these things will add their version to it that THE TITHE YOU PAY HERE ON EARTH is being used to CONSTRUCT THOSE MANSIONS FOR YOU OVER THERE. WHAT DECEPTION OF THE HIGHEST ORDER!

THE WORD OF GOD IS TRUE AND PURE!

There are NO BRICKLAYERS IN HEAVEN, NO CEMENT, NO BRICKS, NO IRON, NO SAND, NO SHOVEL, NO LABOURERS, and YOUR TITHE IS NOT RELEVANT! GET OUT OF IGNORANCE NOW!

I have said and will repeat, going to heaven is not the goal of the believer at all! Heaven is just a point of transition! We will not live in heaven forever! There is no big deal in going to heaven as a believer! You are already citizens. Our focus is the Kingdom not heaven. You are meant to establish the kingdom of God here on earth! NOT IN HEAVEN!

So stop chasing an ambition because someone told you there are mansions in heaven!

And since some of you love beautiful things or because you have lived in a face-me-face-you all your life, you are struggling to go to heaven to live in big mansions built by Jesus forever. Welldone sir! Imagine that when Jesus said I go to prepare a place for you that he meant he wants to go and do bricklaying work for us. Haba!

Those who are wise will not remain the same after reading this!

There are too many deceptions in the body of Christ!

But people like us will not rest till we uproot all the tares!

This is judgment day!

Religion is in trouble!

Ignorance is destroyed!

MANY ARE CALLED BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN – WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Just because Matt 22:14 says “Many are called, but few are chosen”, unskillful teachers of the word have HANDPICKED THE VERSE and used it to scare many believers, warning that some of them will go to hell if they do not obey certain rules and attain certain holiness.

On the issue on holiness, we have trashed that out, read lesson 5 over and over again and you will be blessed! 

Now the phrase “many are called, but few chosen” – what this mean?

In other to understand the meaning, we must first understand the context of the passage of which it was drawn from.

May I say that the phrase occur just ONCE throughout the entire bible and that is Mathew 22:14. The “many are called few are chosen” that occur in the KJV in Matthew 20:16 is not found in some versions of the bible, because the authenticity of its presence in the original manuscript is being questioned. But whether present or not, we shall explain how it was used in both passages and see for ourselves that it has nothing to do with a believer going to heaven.

It is just one of the verses THAT WAS HANDPICKED OUT OF ITS CONTEXT and used to rob believers of their peace and rest in Christ.

Now unto Matthew chapter 20:16…where it was first used.

When you read from verse one, the passage was about the lord of a vineyard who hired laborers to work in his vineyard. Later on he went into the streets to CALL/INVITE (note the word) others whom he saw idle on the streets, and at the end paid them all the same amount. This made the first laborers to protest that they came in first to work, and that others whom he gave the same wages came in the late hour. Then the Lord after asserting his lordship and will said; they that shall be first shall be last; they that are last shall be first and that for many are called, few chosen.

What is Jesus trying to say with this parable? And as you already know, this parable is likened unto the kingdom of God. So why is he saying “many are called” …who are the many, and who are the FEW who were chose?

Now follow closely, let’s see the other passage where the same thing was said after another similar parable…

In Matthew 22, Jesus gave another parable about the Kingdom of heaven and this time around he likened it unto a king, who wants to make a wedding banquet for his son, then he sent his servants to those whom he has invited before, that it is time come for the banquet. However, when the servants got to those people, it was said that they refused to come, he sent another set, many gave flimsy excuses of businesses and other things and yet did not show up, and again the king did not give up, he sent the servants again to these invited people, and this last time, the invited people arrested and killed the servants of the king. This made the king to be angry, he sent his army to destroy those invited people and their city. Now, finally the king thought of making the invitation an open invitation to just anybody…the bible specifically used the word “ANYBODY, WHETHER GOOD OR BAD”. So the hall was full of MANY PEOPLE. Afterwards, a guy was caught without a WEDDING DRESS which everyone was putting on. He was DIFFERENT and did not have this wedding dress, which made him to be casted out. It was after this, that the king said “many are called but few chosen”….

Now, if you to look into the two passages and strictly at the context you will see just two major characters, THE JEWS and THE GENTILES!

The Jews were the first laborers that were CALLED to work in the vineyard, they are the ones entrusted with the kingdom of God from the onset, they are the ones who first heard about it, but the Gentiles were brought into the scene towards the end. The Jews had received the promise of the messiah for many years and have been waiting seriously for it…the bible talks about one man Joseph of Arimatea that “he has been waiting for the Kingdom”, there are many of them like that…that was what made the Pharisees come to Jesus the other day to ask when the kingdom of heaven will come.

Similarly, the INVITED GUESTS of the king to the WEDDING BANQUET ARE THE JEWS, they are the ones who have received the invitation since ages past, God kept reminding them through Moses, Isaiah, Daniel and many others. The GENTILES ARE THE “MANY PEOPLE, GOOD OR BAD” that was invited on the HIGHWAYS AND STREETS at the late hour when the invited guest rejected the invitation to come to the wedding of the King’s son.

And of course we know the Vineyard, and the Wedding banquet here are symbols for the Kingdom of god while the Lord and the King in the passages are symbols for GOD HIMSELF.

Now to the question, who are the MANY that are called?…from the context of the two passages, the MANY are the GENTILES (nations that are non-Jewish). Note carefully how the word “are” was used for the many, while past tense “chosen” was used for the few. So the FEW chosen are the Jews.

The word “are” that preceded “chosen” was added by the translators of the KJV, the correct phrase is actually FEW CHOSEN, not FEW ARE CHOSEN…the word “are” is not present in the original manuscript of the bible. So it is “many are called, few chosen”

According to the parable of Jesus Christ, this is referring to how God extended the plan of salvation to the gentile nations. This Jews have were CHOSEN, the gentile nations were not. The Gentiles were CALLED/INVITED into the kingdom after the attitude of the Jews towards Jesus. This was exactly what Paul the apostle explained in Romans 9, 10 and 11. He explained how that the Jews rejected the gospel of salvation and nailed Christ to the cross, and then God took the gospel to the Gentiles who accepted the gospel easily.

The phrase is not talking about making heaven!

The phrase is not saying that some believers will not make heaven

The phrase is strictly about TWO SETS OF HUMAN RACE WHOM GOD APPOINTED UNTO SALVATION

That guy who was bonded and thrown into the outer darkness did not have the wedding garment; the WEDDING GARMENT IS A SYMBOL FOR THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. Gentiles (believers) are clothed with the righteousness of God upon salvation.

All those who believe and are clothed with righteousness of God upon salvation enters the kingdom of God, they cannot be thrown out!

MANY ARE CALLED means MANY WILL HEAR THE GOSPEL! When they hear and believe, they RECEIVE THE WEDDING GARMENT, THE RIGHTEOUSNESS IMPUTED BY FAITH!

See how Paul puts it “Whereunto He CALLED YOU BY OUR GOSPEL” (2 Thess. 2:14)

So some people have taught wrongly that using this passage that few people will be in the kingdom of God! NO!

This verse is not about us being few; it is about the Jewish nation being few!

Why will they be few?

1.  The Jews are just one out of over 200 nations in the world, so they will be few compared to the Gentiles!

2   The Jews who believed the gospel are very few, majority did not believe Jesus Christ even while he was alive in their midst, when he died, and even up till now!

Although they have been chosen before by God, to be his people, yet they will be few, WE WILL BE MANY!

Halleluyah!

Don’t live in fear of hell any longer! You are covered! Grace covered you! YOU ARE AMONG THE MANY THAT HAVE BEEN CALLED!

Finally, see the end of THOSE OF US that are called…

‘And those he predestined, he also CALLED; those he CALLED, he also JUSTIFIED (Amen?); those he justified, he also GLORIFED!” (Glory!!!!!)

WITHOUT HOLINESS, NO MAN SHALL SEE GOD – WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Hebrews 12:14 is one of the most misinterpreted verse of the bible that has caused a major havoc to the body than the kingdom of darkness. Many have used this particular verse to chase people away from the true faith. Many have scared the life out the people who were supposed to be fruitful for the Kingdom. They see the Christian faith has a burden of laws. They live with fear of hell every day, because of what they have been told that this verse mean

Today is judgment day, we shall uncover the mask that is laid upon this verse and we all shall see how we could have been useful for the kingdom as a body, rather than spending all of one’s life chasing an ambition of Holiness that is not needed.

Dear reader, salvation is not achieved by works but received by faith in Christ Jesus and by FAITH ONLY!

No works is required for salvation! Not a single work is required!

God does all the saving! Believing the Gospel of this saving is entering into the Kingdom of God. 

You cannot enter into the kingdom by YOUR RIGHTEOUS WORKS OR HOLY LIVING!

It is unfortunate how many have used Hebrews 12:14 to scare believers into thinking that what Christ did ALONE is not enough to save a man and keep him saved— you have to pursue peace with all men and holiness if you want to "see the Lord" Very few have tried to find out what the writer was REALLY saying?

Let’s settle this quickly…

Hebrews 12:14 “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord”

A problem arises when we attempt to read a text, especially from the Bible, and conclude for the writer. This is extremely dangerous. An honest exegesis will let us understand better.

Now before this particular chapter, see what the writer said earlier…

Hebrews 10:14 “For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified”

So he's not asking believers TO BE holy in order to "see" God. He ALREADY tells you that you are!

We are not in the PROCESS of becoming holy, we ALREADY are. Under the Old covenant, they strive to be holy, under the new covenant, we have been made Holy! You remember how that Peter said we are royal priesthood and a HOLY NATION? Good!

The passive tense in Heb 10:14 means that we did not make ourselves holy, the action was performed ON us. How? By the offering of the body of Jesus Christ! His offering made us holy! We are holy once for all!

Remember that the book of Hebrews is an ENTIRE letter and the SAME pattern of thoughts permeates the entire letter. It wasn't chapterized and versed at the writing. Chapterizing and versing the Bible was a human conjecture. It was originally a WHOLE letter. So, the writer CANNOT begin by saying we are holy and then later say that we should try to be holy again.

Now when you read the whole chapter or read contextually, you will find out that the passage is not related to going to heaven at all…

Before this, the writer talks about the discipline of God, that is, persecution which believers face because of their faith. He encourages them to stand strong in vs. 12-13. It speaks of the CONDUCT or THE LIFESTYLE of the believer and not his STATE.

After writing about the STATE of the Man in Christ in previous passages, the writer goes on to talk about our conduct with one another and with the world (which persecutes us). The whole context speaks of CONDUCT.

That is, there is a way we as believers should live when we are been persecuted that will draw people to God. They will be surprised at how we respond to every persecution we face and therefore SEE GOD IN US! That is what the verse means!

In other words, the verse can be paraphrased as: In your CONDUCT, live peaceably with all men for if you don't, men CANNOT experience God in your life. You are the means by which men PERCEIVE Christ. That is, let others see Jesus in you.

This is not a SALVATION verse but a CONDUCT verse!

No heaven in this verse at all!

Rather it means live peaceably with all men, this is holy conduct. For if you don't, men cannot experience God, whom you profess, in your life. You are the only means by which men can perceive the invisible God. Make Him evident and visible in your conduct.

This is not talking about HOW HOLINESS MUST BE ACHIEVED

IT NOT ASKING YOU TO ATTAIN A LEVEL OF HOLINESS TO BE SAVED OR TO MAKE HEAVEN

SALVATION IS BY FAITH IN THE FINISHED WORKS OF THE CROSS ALONE

So it is foolishness to start putting up some self holiness to make heaven, it is a slap to the finished works of the cross of Christ. It is saying that what Jesus did was not enough!

The verse in Hebrews is not about making heaven! Wake up!

It is about your lifestyle, in bringing souls to God!

Without Holiness, no man (unbelievers) can see God in you (a believer)!

I hope this bless you!

ENTERING THE KINGDOM IS SAME AS SALVATION

Jesus told Nicodemus "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit"

Entering the Kingdom of heaven or the Kingdom of God is the same as salvation!

Anyone who has believed the finished works of the lamb has been translated into the kingdom of God.

Believers are not travelling to the Kingdom of God! There is no travelling, neither is there any race involved at all! Believers are already in the Kingdom of God and are doing all things from there!

See how Paul puts it to the Colossian Church …

who has delivered us from the power of darkness and has TRANSLATED US INTO THE KINGDOM of his dear son” – KJV, and has BROUGHT US INTO THE KINGDOM of the son he loves – NIV, and has TRANSFERRED US INTO THE KINGDOM of his son of his love – AMP

You see how that HE HAS BROUGHT US INTO THE KINGDOM AND THAT WE DID NOT BRING OURSELVES THERE OR THAT WE ARE GOING THERE! No one can bring his or herself into the kingdom; it must be by God himself. Salvation is by GRACE through FAITH in Jesus Christ ONLY! There is no addition, no subtraction! So we are not just going into the kingdom, we are there already!

ALL BELIEVERS ARE ALREADY IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD!

Oh but you may say, we are talking about making heaven – a location we go after we die. We have said it over and over again in the previous lesson that, going to heaven is not in the list of the believer’s goal. That the believer will visit the location called heaven was not emphasized by Jesus Christ at all. Paul never emphasized it too. All of those verses or passages of the scripture that has been coined by legal and heavenly-minded teachers will be dealt with one by one before the end of this teaching. What the bible teaches is the coming of the kingdom to earth, not the going of the believers to stay in heaven forever. Even if the believer would go, it is yet not a big deal, because servants of God like Elijah, Moses, Enoch among others have been there, so what’s the big deal with the SONS?

Let’s see some scriptures now…

Paul said in Philippians “but we are CITIZENS of the state which is in heaven, and from it also we earnestly and patiently AWAIT the lord Jesus Christ”…can you see how that we AWAIT and that we are going there to live forever?

Ok see how Jesus Christ puts it …

“Behold I AM COMING soon, and I SHALL BRING my wages and rewards with me…” can you see how that we are not GOING THERE to get the reward but that HE IS COMING WITH THE REWARDS?

This is plain scriptures! This is the word of God!

Forget about those bible passages that have been interpreted to mean that we shall go to heaven to eat food and live in mansions. They are all MISINTERPRETATIONS which we will do our best to attend to before the end of this teaching series.

ALL BELIEVERS ARE CITIZENS OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN!

THERE IS NO BELIEVER THAT IS NOT A CITIZEN!

NOT ONE BELIEVER!

The day you became born again is the day you enter the Kingdom of God. You remember Jesus’ word to Nicodemus? Good! The born again experience is the ONLY requirement for entering the Kingdom!

There is no other requirement! Not even your Holiness and your Righteousness! Many have taught falsely that holiness is the requirement for the kingdom of heaven MISINTERPRETING THE SCRIPTURE IN HEBREWS 12, don’t fall for it. This is the next lie we shall attend to in the next lesson.

One common scripture again that is used to defend the saying that not all Christians will live eternally is Matthew 7:21-23, we would just take a few important part of this passage because of space…

“Not everyone who says to me, Lord, lord, will ENTER the kingdom of heaven … And then I will say openly I NEVER KNEW YOU; depart from me …”

Now this same scripture is what we have in Psalm 6:8, a scripture under the old covenant … it is important to note that this scripture is referring to UNBELIEVERS not BELIEVERS.

It says not everyone who says to me lord, will ENTER…believers have entered already. We are citizens!

Again Jesus said I NEVER KNEW YOU! He didn’t say I KNEW YOU BEFORE or THAT YOU HAVE BACKSLIDE. The word was “NEVER’, so he never knew them, they have never been saved before. They are pure unbelievers!

Don’t ever harbor the thought that a believer will go to hell

NO BELIEVER WILL GO TO HELL

EVERYONE WHO HAS RECEIVED ETERNAL LIFE ARE SAVED FOREVER AND ARE PART OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD FOREVER

NOTHING CAN UNSAVE YOU

A person can go astray but is still part of the kingdom!

Have you read the parable of the prodigal son? That’s a typical illustration for anyone who you think has been removed from the kingdom because of one thing or the other. Aren’t you surprised how Jesus calls him PRODIGAL and still retains the identity SON? Let alone, they later end of his story.

Don’t live a life of fear!

You can enter the kingdom of God by believing the Gospel and by believing ONLY! NOTHING ELSE!

Jesus said “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; REPENT ye, and BELIEVE THE GOSPEL” Mark 1:15…just note the keywords, that’s how to enter into the kingdom, very simple!

No works is required

No struggle

No strive

No holiness

No righteousness

Except ALL THE BLESSINGS IMPUTED AND MADE AVAILABLE BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS!

Remain blessed!
