WHAT DO WE SEE? The very basic scriptural truth will reveal that sinners have no part in the kingdom of our Lord and His Christ. Jesus said; Except one be born again he cannot SEE the kingdom of God. Jn 3:3 The blind cannot see. They do not know that there is a kingdom of God. Many who repeat; THY KINGDOM COME, have no concept of the new birth. They are in darkness following the routine of a religious order. We are warned of the use of vain and repetitious words in our prayers. A volume of words will not cause us to realize an answer to our prayers. Mt. 6:7 Jesus, then took the divine requirement a step farther. He stated; that except a man be born of the water and the spirit he cannot ENTER into the kingdom of our Lord. Jn. 3:5 That is a rather definitive statement of fact. As we are born naturally of water and spirit or breath. So the spiritual follows the same pattern. Water baptism is a must. Surely the Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth. He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved. Mt.16:16 A thief dying on a cross is one thing. A believed who refuses or neglects fulfilling the requirements of the word is an entirely different matter. It is a divine requirement and commandment. He commanded them. Acts 10:48
THE PEOPLE OF THE EVERLASTING KINGDOM. Whether it be His kingdom now, or the millennial kingdom or the heavenly kingdom we are in His spiritual kingdom, now. The rights and privileges of the kingdom are ours. Physically, there will be a tremendous change between now and the Millennium. Nevertheless the promises of citizenship are ours to embrace and enjoy, now. For He HAS DELIVERED us and HAS TRANSLATED us into the kingdom of His Son. Col. 1:13 We have been called to that kingdom therefore should walk accordingly. 1 Thes. 2:12 The kingdom of God is not based on food and drink. It is a kingdom for those who have been justified or made righteous in Christ Jesus. Of those who have entered into the peace of God, the rest that He gives us and in particular that millennial day of rest. It is a kingdom of joy which only the Holy Ghost can produce in us.These elements are not found outside of His kingdom. Rom. 14:17 The kingdom of Christ is a kingdom of power and of glory. 1 Cor. 4:20
WHO WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. The will of the Lord is written. It is open for all to read. It is recorded in plain and understandable language. It states that some are to be excluded from any inheritance whatsoever. Completely shut out. While their names are not recorded their deeds are listed. They are called the unrighteous. Their actions are listed. 1 Cor. 6:9-10 Another list is given, called the works of the flesh. It concludes by saying that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Gal. 5:19-21. This gives great evidence to the fact that sinners will not have a part in the Millennium.
