IS IT POSSIBLE FOR SINNERS TO INHERIT THE KINGDOM? Paul used plain and easy to understand language when he said; the unrighteous SHALL NOT, inherit the Kingdom of God. 1 Cor. 6:10 That seems to be very emphatic. There is a long list given, of the works of the flesh, by Paul. He concluded his statement by saying that they which do such things SHALL NOT INHERIT the kingdom of God. Gal. 5:19-21 Paul also gives a list to theEphesians and concludes that they who do such things have NO INHERITANCE in the Kingdom. Eph. 5:3-5 If we, as sinners, work the works of unrighteousness now, and have not been converted as little children, how can we enter that kingdom? Mt. 18:3
THY KINGDOM COME. Jesus left us a prayer that is universally prayed by Christians. We can be assured that in His Kingdom His WILL is the order of the day. Mt. 6:13 Any who would not be in subjection to the WILL of the Lord would be excluded from that eternal and glorious Kingdom. Not even all the extremely religious are going to find a place there. One would expect that those who call on the name of the Lord, saying Lord, Lord would certainly earn a place there. But, not so.Repetitious prayers or calling out Lord, Lord will but come short and will not gain entrance. Even those who have exercised spiritual gifts {What Spirit?} cannot use that as a means of becoming a part of that Kingdom.How then, do we gain an entrance there? The answer is very simple and entirely scriptural; by doing the WILL of the Father. The profession of Jesus toward them is; I NEVER KNEW YOU. DEPART FROM ME, EVILDOERS. Mt.7:21-23 These are strong statements manifesting the fact that sinners will not be found in the Millennium.
THE CALL OF THE LORD IS TO BECOME A PART OF HIS KINGDOM. All have been called but not all will respond. Those who desire the Kingdom are exhorted to WALK, now, in this present time as those who are worthy of that Kingdom. 1 Thes. 2:12 In order to be counted worthy, there must be a work of deliverance, now, from every evil work. So, we are kept or preserved in his righteousness unto the end. 2 Tim. 4:18 A proper response to the call by the elected is an assurance of an ABUNDANT entrance into the everlasting Kingdom. 2 Pet. 1:11
