ENTRANCE TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT GUARANTEED

The kingdom of God is not visible to a

person who is not born again. Neither can such a person enter the
kingdom of God and have eternal life. Jesus said “Truly, truly, I
say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of
God.” And “unless one is born of water and 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.”
John 3:3,5,6.

Even when a person is born again,
entrance to the kingdom of God is not guaranteed. Jesus said: ”Not
everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of
heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will
enter. 22“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did
we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and
in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23“And then I will
declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU
WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ John 7:21-23.

Many born again people live in sin and
practice unrighteousness. Some of them are preachers, pastors, church
leaders, evangelists who even heal the sick and cast out demons in
the Name of Jesus, but they are some openly, others secretly living
in sin and immorality. They believe they are saved because they are
born again and even perform miracles. They forget that the
unrighteous will not enter the kingdom of heaven. We read in 1
Corinthians 6:9,10. “Or do you not know that the unrighteous
ones will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be
deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor
adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor
coveters, not drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will
inherit the kingdom of God.” Without holiness no one will
see the Lord.

Many born again children of God will
end up in hell because they did not follow and obey Jesus. They did
not obey Him and live according to His words, His commandments and
teachings, as they are also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
Jesus said: “If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I
do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save
the world.48“He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has
one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the
last day.” John
12:47,48.

Many born again
Christians refuse to obey Jesus. Many refuse to be baptized in water,
as He commanded. Some have received the baptism in the Holy Spirit,
yet they still keep on disobeying Jesus. Those who disobey Jesus and
do not keep following Him until the end, will NOT enter the kingdom
of heaven. ““He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he
who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God
abides on him.” John 3:36.

Are we following Jesus and living in
utter obedience to Him?

May Jesus bless you.

Salvation Security is NOT Guaranteed

Many Christian believers have a false security of salvation. They claim security of salvation based on single verses from the Bible. They have been taught that they only need to believe in Jesus for salvation. We read in Romans 10:9 "if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 11For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.”  That is true, but if we believe in Jesus we must obey Him and live according to His teachings and commandments.

Jesus warned, as we read in Matthew 7:21:“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’

We have to obey Jesus and bear good fruit, or else we will not enter heaven. Many are preachers and profess to be followers of Jesus but they are not. We will be known by our fruit. Jesus said:"15“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16“You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? 17“So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18“A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19“Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20“So then, you will know them by their fruits." Matthew 7:15-20.

Many professing believers wil end up in hell because their deeds are evil.

The apostle Paul also warned sinning believers in Romans 2:4 "Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? 5But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 6who WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS: 7to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; 8but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. 9There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, 10but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11For there is no partiality with God."

Without holiness, no man shall see God. Those who disobey Jesus Christ and do not live according to His teachings, will perish.

The words of Jesus are clear and simple, as recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke ann John. Jesus said to His disciples:" “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16“He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned."Mark 16:15,16.

Obey Jesus, repent and be baptized, live according to the words of Jesus, seek Him always and He will guide you. Stay with Jesus until the end, or you will not enter heaven, you will end up in hell. Jesus will never leave or reject you, nothing can pluck you our of His hand, but if you stray from Jesus, then you have left Him and you will not be worthy of entering His kingdom. Jesus warned that only those who endure with Him until the end, will be saved.

Work our your own salvation with fear and trembling. Seek Jesus, obey and follow Him until the end, and you will be saved.



May Jesus bless you.

Salvation is Not Guaranteed

Salvation is not guaranteed. There was only one man to whom Jesus said:”Today you will be with me in paradise,” and that was the thief hanging on the cross next to Him. That thief was also not baptized in water but he cried out to Jesus. He could not go down from that cross and get baptized, he was a dying man, and Jesus gave him mercy. To all of us, the others, Jesus said:”If you love Me keep My commands, do what I say.”

If we want eternal life we must FOLLOW and OBEY Jesus Christ. Jesus said that those who ENDURE UNTIL THE END will be saved. We have to follow Jesus and obey Him until the end of our lives. Salvation is not an event, it is a WALK with the Savior. Jesus will never leave us but if we turn away from Him then we are lost. We have to stay WITH HIM and OBEY HIM until the very end. He will guide us by His Spirit, He will teach us and He will use us for His kingdom but if we do not stay with Him and endure with Him until the very end we do not have any hope of salvation.

We have to obey the words of Jesus. REPENT, turn away from what you want to do and do what Jesus tells you to do. Be baptized in water and He will fill you with the Holy Spirit, then FOLLOW the guidance of the Holy Spirit. His sheep LISTEN to His voice and they follow Him, they will not run after strangers, they do not follow their own mind and their own ambitions, they go after Jesus.

We can only be saved in the end IF we endure with Jesus. Someone asked Jesus whether those who are being saved are few and He said:”Strive hard to enter the straight gate because many will try and not be able.” We have to STRIVE HARD and follow Jesus until the very end and if we endure with Him UNTIL THE END then only will we be saved.

Salvation is not guaranteed. Stay with Jesus, FOLLOW and OBEY Him until the very very end and then you will be saved.

May Jesus bless you.
