Hello

With these few words, I would like to show you how we can already today be in the Kingdom of God with Jesus Christ and have the assurance of having eternal life provided we remain in the faith.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,

and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
John 11/25 and 26

Jesus is the life. He says, "I am the resurrection and the life." He also says:

I am the way, and the truth and the life no one comes to the father except through me.

John 14/6

It is this verse John 14/6 that made me take the final decision to change religion, I was in Eastern philosophy, disciple of a guru and I turned to Jesus Christ.

After he said, "I am the resurrection and the life," Jesus says, " Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live. This concerned the men of his generation, the men who died under the law, under the Old Testament. They died in the faith in the promises of the person of the messiah. We see this in the book, of Hebrews chapter 11 and verse 13

“These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.”
Because our way, our life is in the Kingdom of God with Jesus-Christ already.

 

We'll see that's what he says later.
This is the second part of the passage, verse 26 which says, "A

and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die Do you believe that? "
This concerns all the people who are alive today.

 

Everyone who lives and believes in me, therefore all who are alive today who believe or who will believe in Jesus Christ, they will never die.
It's interesting, is not it? There are plenty who do research by doing scientific experiments to have eternal life, but there, with Jesus, you just have to believe.

But what does it mean to believe?
Believing in Jesus does not mean as many do or think: "I believe in Jesus, but I do not care much about what he says. "

Believing in Jesus does not mean being faithful to religious Christian ceremonies established by men. (Catholic, Evangelical Protestant or others.)

To believe in Jesus means to listen to and obey what he says, his word, his commandments, today, tomorrow and all the days of our life. And  walk in the same way in which he walked.

This is what the apostle John writes in his first epistle, chapter 2 verses 3 to 6, which I will quote a little further.

 

But to listen to his word, to obey him and to understand how he walked, one must know him and one can learn to know him by his Spirit by asking him and reading the gospels and the writings of his disciples that one finds in the New Testament, while asking the Spirit of Jesus to enlighten us and lead us into our reading.

The Bible insists on not trusting men, which is why one must always check with the help of the Holy Spirit in his word, that is, in the Gospels.

Jesus in one of his parables in Matthew 13 tells us that an enemy came to sow weeds among the wheat, the good seeds, the children born of God. There is always weeds among the wheat, even today, for all the Christians whom you see or who call themselves Christians, there are always weeds. People who are wheat and people who are weeds, but there is not in the same person weeds and wheat, it is a lie.

his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. Math 13:25)

 

This is also why I am always going to try sharing according the word of God says, but that does not prevent you from checking what I say.

 

Jesus said:

John 5/24

Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

 

John 14/21

Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”

 

The apostle john wrote:

1 john 2/3 to 6

And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.

 

1 John 5/3 and 4

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

 

To believe : is to listen to Jesus Christ when He said:
" The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” Mark 1/15
It is necessary to repent:
All men are sinners and are deprived of the glory of God, as the Apostle Paul wrote in Romans, chapter 3 verse 23.
" for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, "

  There is no sinner, even a little sinner, or someone who would sin only from time to time, whether he is a Christian or not, who can enter the kingdom of God. 

Eph 5/5

For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

 

Some Christians think that their spirit would be saved, but that as long as they are on earth they remain sinners, it is a heresy.
There is not on one side my spirit that would be saved and my body or my soul that would continue to sin.
"The soul who sins shall die. »(Ezekiel 18.20)
We are indivisible a good spirit has a good soul and an evil spirit has a bad soul. 

Math 7/18

A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.

 

One cannot be a sinner, even half or a third, and be sitting in heavenly places with Jesus Christ is impossible. (See on the blog the deliverance of sin). It is now that we are sitting with Jesus Christ, where we are sitting or not. There is no choice we cannot go up and down, once in the Kingdom of God and once outside

We will see it later, but there is no sinner in the Kingdom of God who is already here and now.

Jesus will not transform his bride or church in heaven, nor at the last moment.
He comes for a bride who is already prepared, she has dressed for her groom, she is already without spot or wrinkle, or anything like it.
(Rev 21/2, Eph 5/27)

In Matthew 25 Jesus teaches us with the parable of wise virgins and foolish virgins. The wise virgins were dressed to receive the groom, unlike the foolish virgins.
This parable teaches us to stay in the faith, to believe the word of Jesus continually.
In the epistle to the Colossians chapter 1 verses 21 to 23 Paul wrote to us that God has reconciled us to him by the death of Jesus to make us appear before him Blameless and above reproach before him. If at least we remain grounded and unshakeable in the faith. The foolish virgins did not remain steadfast in the faith that they were holy and blameless. As a result of which they were rejected by Jesus. Without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11/6) 

 

There is no purgatory, nowhere is it mentioned in the Bible (Luke 16/23 to 26).

There is no alternative, either we are sinners or we are wholly holy and in the Kingdom of God. It is now during our life on earth that everything is decided.

Yet the criminal on the cross who believed in Jesus and repented could enter the kingdom of God the same day? (Luke 23/43)
 

In an instant he was washed, purified, sanctified, justified, he had no sin in him, he was no longer a sinner, he was pure conformed to the image of Jesus Christ.
Otherwise he could not have entered the kingdom of God in which there is no sinner.

(Isaiah 52/1)

It is possible today to have the assurance of being already in the Kingdom of God which also means having received eternal life.

Jesus said, "The Kingdom of God is in the midst of you" (Luke 17/21)
Even though the Kingdom of God is also coming, it is already present in our midst and it is now that we can and must enter it.

 

Much of the beginning of my life was driven by this word of Jesus Christ 

Mat 6/33

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

After many adventures, one day by the grace of God the Lord Jesus gave me the assurance that I had eternal life, that I had entered the kingdom of God.

The apostle Paul wrote: God has transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, and he has done for me.

 

Col 1/12 TO 14

giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

These verses of Colossians, written in the past, show us well that it is accomplished. From today we can enter or be transferred into the kingdom of God by believing in Jesus Christ.
But once we enter the kingdom of God we must remain there by faith.
Today and continuously. That's what the foolish virgins did not do.

This is confirmed by the apostle Paul, still in the epistle to the Colossians by the following verses:

 

Col 1/21 to 23 

And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard,

Jesus reconciled me to him by making me a new holy creature blameless and above reproach before him. But all my life I must remain in faith in what Jesus has made of me by the Gospel a new holy creature blameless…

  It seems impossible and incredible for a man to walk as Jesus walked. Impossible not to sin. However Jesus made it possible for all those who believe.
Romans 8/29 

For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

I will recall that his son was sinless, no sin in him, so he made us like the image of his son, without sin. 

 

 

All this can not be the result of our work on ourselves, of or our wisdom, of nor  our efforts nor of our human love nor of our charity, it is God who gives it by grace and by faith . 

to those who want it.

 

The righteous shall live by faith (Romans 1/17 Galatians 3/11 and Hebrews 10/38)

That's what Jesus is talking about: "Believe"

and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this? (John 11/26)

Everything is summarized in this verse, but only the right definitions must be put on the right words.

He made those who believe children of God. which means that all men born in this world are not children of God, but creatures of God, only those who believe in His name can become children of God. 

 

John 1/12

But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

 

Those who are children of God do not sin, and that is how we differentiate the children of God from the children of the devil. 

1 john 3/9 and 10

No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil:

 

Hebrew 12/14

Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

If we are not sanctified, we will not see the Lord, we will not be able to enter the Kingdom of God. 

 

Hebrew 10/10

And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Like the criminal on the cross with Jesus, who was sanctified once and for all.

It is God who sanctifies us and who keeps us irreproachable. Besides, one can only keep holy that which is holy and pure, it is he who will do it. 

 

1Thessalonians 5/23

Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.

 

Jésus said: John 15/13

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

Jesus gave his life for us, he accomplished everything. Now it's up to us to believe it or not.

He can say: “and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11/26)

 

Or do you want to believe this?

The question still remains for everyone 

Do you want to believe this?
