WHO SHALL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD? THE CHILDREN OF GOD THAT OVER COME THE WORLD.

Rv:2:7: 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. (KJV)

1Jn:5:1: Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

1Jn:5:2: By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

1Jn:5:3: For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

1Jn:5:4: For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

1Jn:5:5: Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

WHO SHALL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD? THE PREDESTINATED, THOSE THAT ARE CALLED OF GOD, JUSTIFIED, GLORIFIED TRANSLATED OUT OF THE WORLD AND INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST. ALL WHOM GOD FOREKNEW HE DID PREDESTINATE. WE THE PREDESTINATED ARE ORDAINED TO EAT OF THE TREE OF LIFE, AND TO DRINK OF THE CRYSTAL CLEAR WATER OF LIFE.

Rom:8:28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Rom:8:29: For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Rom:8:30: Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

Rom:8:31: What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Rom:8:32: He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

WHO SHALL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD, THOSE WHOM GOD ELECTED, SELECTED, CHOSE FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. THOSE PREDESTINATED TO BE ADOPTED INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD.

Eph:1:3: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Eph:1:4: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Eph:1:5: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

WE, THE ELECT OF GOD, FOUND FAVOR WITH GOD BEFORE WE WERE EVER BORN. GRACE IS AN UNMERITED FAVOR. WE DID NOTHING TO DESERVE HIS FAVOR, BUT GOD LOVED US AND PLANED IN LOVE FOR US SO ALL THE EVENTS OF THE WORLD WORK TOGETHER FOR OUR GOOD. BUT, IN THIS PRESENT WORLD THERE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD, AND CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL. LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. THERE WERE TWO BROTHERS, TWINS. ONE WAS NAMED JACOB, AND THE OTHER ESAU. BEFORE THE CHILDREN WERE EVER BORN, BEFORE EITHER HAD DONE ANY GOOD OR EVIL. GOD SAID, "JACOB HAVE I LOVE, BUT ESAU HAVE I HATED."

Rom:9:10: And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;

Rom:9:11: (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)

Rom:9:12: It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.

Rom:9:13: As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

Rom:9:14: What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.

Rom:9:15: For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

Rom:9:16: So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

LITTLE CHILDREN, HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF WHAT WE SHALL INHERIT? WE SHALL INHERIT SUCH MARVELOUS GIFTS AS ETERNAL LIFE, A NEVER ENDING LIFE, TO LIVE A HUNDRED THOUSAND YEARS, AND NOT BE READY FOR THE GRAVE. AND THE IMMORTAL BODY, A BODY THAT DOES NOT GROW OLD, IS NEVER SICK, A BODY THAT IS RENEWED EVERY DAY. JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, THE CREATER OF HEAVEN, AND EARTH; TOOK PETER, JAMES, AND JOHN, UPON A HIGH MOUNTAIN. AND, WHILE THEY WERE THERE JESUS WAS TRANSFIGURATED BEFORE THEIR VERY EYES. I BELIEVE AS THEY LOOKED UPON JESUS IN THE TRANFIGURATED CONDITION, THAT THEY WERE LOOKING AT THE IMMORTAL BODY. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT HIS FACE SHINED LIKE THE SUN, AND THAT HIS RAIMENT WAS WHITE AS LIGHT.

Mt:17:1: And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,

Mt:17:2: And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

CHILDREN OF LIGHT, WE SHALL NOT ALL SEE DEATH, BUT WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED. IN A MOMENT, IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, THIS MORTAL SHALL PUT ON IMMORTALITY.

1Cor:15:50: Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

1Cor:15:51: Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

1Cor:15:52: In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

1Cor:15:53: For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

1Cor:15:54: So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

1Cor:15:55: O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

1Cor:15:56: The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

1Cor:15:57: But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

1Cor:15:58: Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

(KJV)

WHEN SHALL WE RECEIVE OUR INHERITANCE? WE MUST ALL APPEAR BEFORE THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST. WHEN THE LORD RETURNS FOR HIS BRIDE THE CHURCH. THEN CHRIST JESUS SHALL SEPERATE THE NATIONS AS A SHEPHERD DIVIDES THE SHEEP AND THE GOATS. AND HE SHALL PLACE THE SHEEP, THE CHILDREN OF GOD, ON HIS RIGHT HAND. AND, THE GOATS THE CHILDREN OF SATAN ON HIS LEFT HAND.

Mt:25:31: When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

Mt:25:32: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

Mt:25:33: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

Mt:25:34: Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

Mt:25:35: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

Mt:25:36: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Mt:25:37: Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

Mt:25:38: When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

Mt:25:39: Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

Mt:25:40: And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Mt:25:41: Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Mt:25:42: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

Mt:25:43: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

Mt:25:44: Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

Mt:25:45: Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

Mt:25:46: And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

(KJV)

SAINTS OF GOD, THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS A MAN MUST DO TO INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS A MAN MUST NOT DO TO INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. A MAN MUST BELIEVE. HE MUST PLACE HIS FAITH AND HIS TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST FOR HIS SALVATION. HE MUST PLACE HIS FAITH, AND TRUST IN THE BLOOD THAT CHRIST SHED ON CALVARY FOR HIS REDEMPTION. WHEN THE MACEDONIAN GUARD ASKED THE APOSTLE PAUL, AND SILAS WHAT HE MUST DO TO BE SAVED THEY SAID THESE WORDS.

Acts:16:31: And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. (KJV)

YOU MUST ALSO BE BORN OF WATER, BAPTISED, AND BORN OF THE SPIRIT. WHEN A CHILD OF GOD IS BAPTISED, HE IS BAPTISED OUT OF THE WORLD, AND INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST. ETERNAL LIFE IS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. THE HOLY SCRIPTURES SAY EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN OF WATER, AND THE SPIRIT HE CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

Jn:3:1: There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

Jn:3:2: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

Jn:3:3: Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Jn:3:4: Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

Jn:3:5: Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Jn:3:6: That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

BELOVED A PERSON MUST WORK IN THE HARVEST. BECAUSE FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD.

Jms:2:14: What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

Jms:2:15: If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

Jms:2:16: And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

Jms:2:17: Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

BELOVED OF GOD, THERE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS YOU MUST NOT DO, MEN MUST NOT CIRCUMCISE THEMSELVES, AFTER THEY ARE IN CHRIST, WITH THE INTENT TO KEEP THE LAW OF MOSES'. FOR IF A MAN CIRCUMCISES HIMSELF WITH THE INTENT TO KEEP THE LAW MOSES' HE WILL FALL FROM GRACE, AND CHRIST WILL PROFIT HIM NOTHING.

Gal:5:1: Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Gal:5:2: Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

Gal:5:3: For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

Gal:5:4: Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

BELOVED A MAN MUST NOT FALL AWAY FROM THE CHURCH, MUST NOT WITHDRAW HIS SUPPORT OF THE CHURCH, AND RENOUNCE HIS FAITH. FOR IF HE DOES, THERE IS NO REPENTANCE FOR THAT SIN.

Heb:6:1: Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

Heb:6:2: Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

Heb:6:3: And this will we do, if God permit.

Heb:6:4: For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

Heb:6:5: And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

Heb:6:6: If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

FINALLY MY BROTHREN, YOU MUST NOT DO THE WORKS OF THE FLESH, FOR IF YOU DO THE WORKS OF THE FLESH YOU SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

Gal:5:19: Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

Gal:5:20: Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

Gal:5:21: Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
