Who will enter the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN? “Hath not God [CHOSEN THE POOR OF THIS WORLD RICH IN FAITH], and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?” (James 2:5).
JESUS says: “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” (Matthew 7:21).
“For many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14).
“Blessed are they that [DO HIS COMMANDMENTS, THAT THEY MAY
HAVE RIGHT TO THE TREE OF LIFE], and may [ENTER IN THROUGH THE GATES] into the
city” (Revelation 22:14).
Jesus’ disciples asked: “[WHO THEN CAN BE SAVED]?’ and Jesus
answered them saying: “[WITH MEN THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE; BUT WITH GOD ALL THINGS
ARE POSSIBLE]” (Matthew 19:25-26).
When a young man wanted to know what he must do to inherit
eternal life, Jesus answered: “[IF THOU WILT ENTER INTO LIFE, KEEP THE
COMMANDMENTS]” (Matthew 19:17). The young man then wanted to know which
commandments.
“Jesus said, ‘Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit
adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy
father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
The young man saith unto him, ‘All these things have I kept
from my youth up: what lack I yet?’ Jesus said unto him, ‘If thou wilt be
perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have
treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
’But when the young man heard that saying, he went away
sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Then said Jesus unto his disciples,
‘[VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT A RICH MAN SHALL HARDLY ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF
HEAVEN]’” (Matthew 18-23)
“And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of
God. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, ‘[WHO
THEN CAN BE SAVED]?’ But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, ‘WITH MEN THIS
IS IMPOSSIBLE; BUT WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE’” (Matthew 19:24-26).
“[BLESSED ARE THEY WHICH ARE PERSECUTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS’]
sake: for theirs is the [KINGDOM OF HEAVEN]” (Matthew 5:10).
“[BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS]: for they shall be called the
children of God. [BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART]: for they shall see God”
(Matthew 5:8-9).
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, [HE THAT BELIEVETH ON ME
HATH EVERLASTING LIFE]. I am that bread of life” (John 6:47-48).
“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
the churches; To him that [OVERCOMETH] will I give to eat of the tree of life,
which is in the midst of the [PARADISE OF GOD]” (Revelation 2:7).
“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to
give [EVERY MAN] according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the
beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his
commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in
through the gates into the city” (Revelation 22:12-14).
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these
things in the churches” (Revelation 22:16). “He which testifieth these things
saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (Revelation 22:20-21).
