The Heaven Vs. The Kingdom Of God(5) Series

“ENTER ye in at the strait gate: for WIDE is the gate, and BROAD is the way, that leadeth to DESTRUCTION, and MANY there be which GO IN there at: Because strait is the gate, and NARROW is THE WAY, which leadeth unto LIFE, and FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT.”

(Matthew, 7:13-14).

What is the REWARD of being SAVED? Go to Heaven after death? If you think like this, you can’t help but to WORK HARD, so you might go to Heaven when you die. And then, “Once you miss, you’ll lose your SALVATION and go to the ‘Hell Fire’ to SUFFER an ENDLESS SUFFERING!” If that’s the case then, CHRISTIANITY has no difference from other RELIGION. This was the reason why EVANGELISM and Gospel TRACTS had lost its CREDIBILITY and EFFECTIVITY! Why? Since other Religions, and all UNBELIEVERS of the Lord Jesus Christ believe in “life after death”. They believe that if they do “good” then, they will receive a “REWARD”, otherwise, “PUNISHMENT”.

Did you ever found a passage in the 4 Gospels about Jesus PREACHING like, “Hey, I’m gon’na SUFFER and die on the CROSS. If you BELIEVE in me you will go to Heaven when you die! Or else, you will be PUNISHED in an ENDLESS SUFFERING.” You might think of the PARABLES. You should UNDERSTAND that the PARABLES is to picture the COMING KINGDOM of God and the GREAT TRIBULATION. The PARABLES are made CLEAR in the 2nd Phase of UNVEILING the MYSTERY.

Just what do you think Heaven? What is Heaven like? What did Jesus mean when He taught His disciples to Pray, “Thy WILL BE DONE on EARTH, AS IT IS in HEAVEN (Matthew 6:9-10).” Please, read it again in your own Bible. What is the Will of God in Heaven that can be done on earth? Or, what is in Heaven that can be DONE here on earth? Think of the HAPPIEST MOMENT you’ve ever experienced, think of the GREATEST THING you want to experience, think of the most AMAZING and AWESOME places you’ve ever seen, AMPLIFY it millions times millions! Think of an ENDLESS LOVE, JOY, PEACE, and PROSPERITY. A place where there is harmony, no hatred, no jealousy, no greediness, no selfishness, no disease, no pain, no loneliness, no fear, no doubt, no self-pity, NO CONDEMNATION, NO PROBLEM! This is the HEAVENLY LIFE.

If you really UNDERSTOOD what Heaven is like, you would begin to CHANGE all your NEGATIVE thoughts, NEGATIVE feelings, NEGATIVE emotions, NEGATIVE attitudes, NEGATIVE words, LUSTFUL desires and SELFISH ambition. Now does it make CLEAR that we can also experience Heaven down here on earth?

Now, if you really belong to CHRIST and not of this world (of the devil), you should have the DESIRE to turn from committing SIN, then obey God’s LAW and follow His WAYS! You should WORK OUT for your INHERITANCE, the PROMISED, ETERNAL KINGDOM! The WAY to the KINGDOM of God is NARROW! “Because strait is the gate, and NARROW is THE WAY, which leadeth unto LIFE, and FEW there be that find it.” (Matthew, 7:13-14). This passage is often interpreted as Heaven and hell. It puts in our mind that the ETERNAL, LIMITLESS and ENDLESS Heaven has a NARROW GATE. That if you can’t ENDURE, then, you can’t enter Heaven after death. Or else! You will SUFFER an ENDLESS PUNISHMENT to the “Hell Fire”? The Prophet Isaiah wrote,

“And an HIGHWAY shall be there, and a WAY, and it shall be called THE WAY OF HOLINESS;

the UNCLEAN shall not PASS over it; but it shall be for those: the WAYFARING men , though FOOLS, shall not err therein. (Isaiah 35:8).

Only those who can follow God’s WAY OF HOLINESS, God’s LAW (not MAN-MADE DOCTRINE), can ENTER the KINGDOM of God. Jesus Christ is the ONLY WAY and the TRUTH that leads us to the PROMISED, ETERNAL KINGDOM.

The passage, Matthew 7:13-14, is mistakenly used to illustrate that the GATE is NARROW towards Heaven and the WAY to the “Hell Fire” is WIDE. In other words, many are on their way to the WIDE GATE that LEADS to the “Hell Fire”. What’s the result of this heresy? That you should WORK HARD so you can enter Heaven after death. If this be TRUE, well, meaning, our God is so CRUEL! That He created Human and live a FEW YEARS, then, many will SUFFER an ENDLESS PUNISHMENT to the “Hell Fire” because the way to Heaven is NARROW. This heresy DECEIVES us and makes us think that FEW CAN GO TO Heaven. Is this THE MIND OF CHRIST? To SAVE us from the “Hell Fire” and go to Heaven after death? Did you find this in the Bible? What’s the POINT of RESURRECTION?

The WAY to the KINGDOM of God is NARROW, not to the ETERNAL, LIMITLESS and ENDLESS Heaven! The KINGDOM of God is exclusive! Only few will be QUALIFIED to ENTER! I repeat, the WAY to the KINGDOM of God is NARROW!
