Jesus’ KINGDOM is in the PARADISE OF GOD in NEW HEAVENS AND AND NEW EARTH (Revelation 2:7; 21:1-5; 22:3-6).
During this Easter Season let us keep always in remembrance the outcome of the two transgressors who were next to JESUS on the day of his crucifixion.
On the day Jesus’ crucifixion, one of the transgressors spoke
against him, saying: “If thou be Christ, save thyself and us” (Luke 23:39).
“But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou [FEAR
GOD], seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our
deeds: but [THIS MAN HATH DONE NOTHING AMISS].
And he said unto Jesus, Lord, [REMEMBER ME WHEN THOU COMEST
INTO THY KINGDOM].
And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, [TO DAY
SHALT THOU BE WITH ME IN PARADISE]” (Luke 23:4043).
Just as the promise was made to the transgressor that he will
get to PARADISE, so too before the end of the LAST DAY, all those who have kept
the FAITH IN JESUS, the called and chosen in the Kingdom of God, the FAITHFUL
OF GOD’S ELECT, will be REDEEMED to the PARADISE OF GOD (Revelation 2:7).
For those among us who have not already done so, be wise to REPENT
AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL (Mark 1:15) and keep the FAITH IN JESUS to the END
(Matthew 24:35-36).
We must must also be very mindful every day of our lives of
our deeds because on the Day of Judgment every human being will be rewarded
according to all that we have done in our lifetime (Matthew 25:31-34; 41. 46)
(John 5:25-29) (Romans 2:6-11) (Revelation 20:11-15).
“[FOR WE MUST ALL APPEAR] before the judgment seat of Christ;
that [EVERY ONE MAY RECEIVE THE THINGS DONE IN HIS BODY], according to that he
hath done, whether it be good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10).
JESUS says: “[THE TIME IS FULFILLED], and the Kingdom of God
is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15). “I came not to call
the righteous, but sinners to repentance” (Luke 5:32).
“Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3).
“For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but
the will of him that sent me” (John 6:38).
“Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith
on the earth? (Luke 18:8).
“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).
“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).
“[TO HIM THAT OVERCOMETH WILL I GIVE] to eat of the hidden
manna, and will give him a [WHITE STONE, AND IN THE STONE A NEW NAME] written,
which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it” (Revelation 2:17).
“AND I saw [A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH]: for the first heaven
and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw
[THE HOLY CITY, NEW JERUSALEM], coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as
a bride adorned for her husband. [AND HE THAT SAT UPON THE THRONE SAID, BEHOLD,
I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW]. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true
and faithful” (Revelation 21:1-2, 5).
“And there shall be no more curse: but the [THRONE OF GOD AND
OF THE LAMB] shall be in it; and [HIS SERVANTS SHALL SERVE HIM]:
And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their
foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither
light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: [AND THEY SHALL REIGN FOR
EVER AND EVER].
And he said unto me, [THESE SAYINGS ARE FAITHFUL AND TRUE]:
and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants
the things which must shortly be done” (Revelation 22:3-6).
“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).
