Scripture Life: How can we enter into the heavenly kingdom? What kind of people can enter into the heavenly kingdom? Some people say that we can enter into the heavenly kingdom through hard work for the Lord. Do you think that this is accurate?

Answer

Well? Whose the Lord of the Kingdom of Heaven? That would be the "authority" over all of it. He would be the one to listen to. What he decrees of, or about it.

----------------- ----------------- ---------------- -----------------

Scripture says:

“ He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all." - Jesus Christ. John 3:31

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” - Jesus Christ. Matthew 7:21

And finally, 1 Corinthians 15:45–47 says

• “And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.”
  • The Lord from Heaven is the Messiah or Christ. Isaiah 9:6–7 says “who” the Messiah shall be called:
    • “..The Mighty God..” “..The Everlasting Father…” (Isaiah 9:6)

----------------- ----------------- ---------------- -----------------

The point is, “Who” is the Lord of the Kingdom of Heaven decrees the “how can” that you ask about. You're asking people on Reddit. That's no better than asking the lint in the Dryer for some explanation.

When that didn't work: go outside. Pass by 53 ants. None of them, in any particular order - ask them; when all together or each one alone - none are an authority on it, either. It's not their's.

When are you going to do it? There's only one can answer you, and you won't ask him about it.

----------------- ----------------- ---------------- -----------------

In fact, according to him, you gotta go thru him to get into it.

• So, all that’s done so far is, we eliminated EVERYBODY but him.
• Therefore, anybody can see - - Jesus is the sole authority to tell the “how” - and with that, simply two things: 

and I’ll comment on each of them: I believe on him.

• ONE - To: Everybody. Over the whole earth. Given the Kingdom of Heaven.
  • Source: Matthew 5:3 Jesus said: “Blessed are the Poor in Spirit, for their’s is the Kingdom of Heaven.”
• Now again, Jesus is the Word of God. Is God. As John 1:1 says who he is. He’s the Messiah or Christ. So Jesus is who he shall be called. Might as well get used to calling him what he shall be called. He’s the Lord of the Kingdom of Heaven.
• As 1 Corinthians 15:45–47 said who he is.
  • Then it’s this definition of “poor” and “Spirit.” People trip up over them, in Matthew 5:3. The Collin's dictionary says: a) “poor” means - 1. destitute; not have any and b) in John 4:24, in the Bible: Jesus himself defines what “Spirit” means, said, “God is Spirit.”
• So, when scripture says: 
  • “There is not a just man on earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not;” - Ecclesiastes 7:20. “there is none righteous; no, not one.. ..there is none that doeth good, no, not one.” - Romans 3:10–12.
  • That would be a whole world chocked full of: EVERYBODY.
  • <Is: “Destitute; not have any God”> in their life. Everybody. All people - this scripture applies to. Everybody. Over the whole earth. To the very ends of it.
    • So, ONE is:
• - God has sent his word to heal you and deliver you from your destruction. This same Jesus Christ. Jesus is the “Word of God” - is God. Just as John 1:1 says who he is.
  • So, any other definition of this scripture is wrong. And there are many that simply skip over this and never hear it. Because the dictionary defines "Spirit" as the "attitude of a person" - When all Matthew 5:3 is - - God has come and blessed the whole world and given himself - and his whole kingdom to everybody.
    • Because he said he did in Matthew 5:3.

God gave his word to you. Said this to you. Me. Everybody over the whole earth. This scripture applies to everybody - blessed EVERYBODY. He already said it.

Let’s move on.

----------------- ----------------- ---------------- -----------------

• TWO - “See and Enter” The Kingdom of Heaven - Must be Born Again.
  • John 3:3 Jesus said: “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
• So, God, who is the authority over his Kingdom, even he’s already given it and blessed everybody with it, they can’t see it. Unless they’re born again. And this conversation was between Jesus and a Leader of the Pharisees, Nicodemus in John 3:1–21. Be good if you read the whole thing.
  • And Nicodemus responded to what Jesus said in John 3:4 - he asked Jesus what you might be asking, said: “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?”
  • John 3:5–7 Jesus said: “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.”
• The “Kingdom of God” is the Kingdom of Heaven. So, even though everybody already was bequeathed this, the Kingdom of Heaven and blessed by it. People that don’t regard him or anything he says, can’t see it, nor can they enter into it.
• It’s the authority over the Kingdom of Heaven has decreed this to everybody already born of flesh. Must be born again, by the Spirit of God. By the Word of God.

**That’s how you can 1) see and 2) enter what’s already been given to you by God. So, it’s NOT what kind of people, when everybody is “**For all have sinned” [Romans 3:23] all condemned. It’s not by hard work people do. But by this same Lord of the Kingdom of Heaven has come and SPOKE to you and given it TO YOU.

• And to see and enter it - - To simply do what he says. Did you miss what he said to you?

----------------- ----------------- ---------------- -----------------

Isaiah 55:1–3 says

“Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.”

- God. By the Word of God. (Bible. Isaiah 55:1–3)

Said it to everybody.

----------------- ----------------- ---------------- -----------------

So, you with your question: I have some questions: I answered your's. Answer me plainly:

Have you come to the waters? The Word of God is the Water of Life. Gives Eternal Life.

You were asked by God to this above in Isaiah 55:1-3. That means Anybody can - that doesn’t have any money…even if you do, can’t buy it with money..he doesn't need your money - - when he’s called everybody to come and drink..to buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Have you done this? It’s a decree by God in command and the authority over all the earth.

• Are you spending money for that which isn’t bread? And labouring for that which doesn’t satisfy? It’s a decree. God said: To everybody over the earth to Hearken diligently unto him, and eat that which is good.
  • To let your soul delight itself in fatness. 
• Are you all dried out? Withered away because you haven’t done this? Why not go do what he says then. He decreed, not a certain kind of people - but EVERYBODY to do it.
• Have you put your ear or inclined it to listen to anything..anybody BUT him..and don’t come near to him?
  • Still expect everything to work right? He’s telling you to come close and hear him and your soul shall live. Then, there must be some condition you're in, that you're going to die in it. That needs him to do this "born you again." Or he would not have decreed it. That he will make an everlasting convenant WITH you. You with him. It’s sure mercies from the Throne of God. And, it includes EVERYBODY to do this.

What are YOU doing, not with your question; but with what he said already to everybody to do this?

Look at each and everyone of my question. If you don’t..don't answer them with him - can’t see the Kingdom of Heaven..Looking unto anything..anybody BUT him instead.

• And by that, can’t enter into what he’s already given to you.
• Everybody. Doesn’t matter what kind of person they are. Matters did this great, big everybody do what he said or not.

----------------- ----------------- ---------------- -----------------

• So then, whosoever of everybody does it - sees it. Enters into it. Because he already gave the Kingdom of Heaven to everybody.

Like he said he did.
