None of us is worthy of eternal life.
We all deserve death, we should have hung on that cross. People have
this thing where they say:”I am not as bad as that guy, I am not a
murderer.” If you have ever thought in your life that “I wish
that guy would die!” if you have cursed somebody, then you have
done exactly what that murderer has done. In your mind you have
murdered! You might say:”I am not an adulterer” If you have
watched porn or any of these wicked movies and you fantasized about
somebody else, you are an adulterer, you are a fornicator. None of us
is worthy, none of us is without blame. We deserve death, we deserve
damnation. Nobody is worthy of entering into the presence of God IF
IT WERE NOT FOR THE BLOOD OF JESUS AND YOU WILL ONLY GO INTO THE
KINGDOM OF GOD IF JESUS ALLOWS US IN THERE, there is no other way,
and the only way that Jesus will allow us into His heavenly Kingdom
and give us eternal life is IF WE OBEY HIM as He obeyed His Father,
if we are His friend. Only the friends of Jesus will enter the
Kingdom of Heaven.
Jesus said to His disciples (John
15:14)“You
are My friends if you do what I command you.”
You can say:”I love Jesus” but if
we do not OBEY Him then we are not His friend. If we have not turned
away from sin and absolutely OBEY the commandments of the Father that
He(Jesus) gave us, in the same way that He(Jesus) obeyed then we
prove that we don't love Him.
Jesus said (Matthew 7:21) “Not
everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of
heaven, but he who DOES the will of My Father who is in heaven will
enter. 22“Many
will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in
Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform
many miracles?’ 23“And
then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART
FROM ME, YOU
WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’
“
If we believe in Jesus and we are His
FRIENDS, we OBEY Him. He said that if you look at a woman to desire
her you have ALREADY committed adultery in your heart. Are you doing
that, or HAVE YOU STOPPED DOING THAT? Have you repented from those
things? Are you living pure and holy in obedience to Jesus? If you
don't you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. That is how narrow
the door is! Jesus said:”Narrow is the door and few there be that
find it.”
Don't let anybody tell you a story. Go
read the words of Jesus in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
and see how narrow the door is. If you believe in Jesus you have to
OBEY those words. You have to turn away from wickedness, you have to
turn away from pleasing yourself and you must OBEY the words of the
Father that Jesus gave us, His words in the gospels. If we do not
utterly obey those words we will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
None of us has anything to boast about.
There are many people who say:”I haven't done this, I haven't done
that.(sin)” In your mind you have! And you have maybe done worse
than those people that you think you have done better than them. We
have got to stop thinking evil, we have got to love each other.
People say:”I am a child of God” but they cannot live with their
brothers. They attack their brothers and sisters, they are fighting,
gossiping. Jesus said (John 15:17) “This I COMMAND YOU, that you
LOVE ONE ANOTHER.” Do you love your brothers and sisters, like
yourself, like your own child? Do you love them that way? Or don't
you care about the guy that is lying in the street, as long as it is
not you that is having the pain. So, “that guy has got AIDS, he
made his own problems” or ”that guy is a drunk, he has been
drinking all his life”, “he has got what he deserved.” Did I
get what I deserved? No, certainly not!
I am not worthy, and therefor I must
turn away and follow Jesus with all my power, EVERY STEP OF THE WAY,
then I prove to be a child of God. I PROVE TO BE HIS FRIEND, IF I
LIVE MY LIFE IN UTTER OBEDIENCE TO JESUS. ARE YOU PUTTING JESUS
FIRST? Because if we don't, He will say to us like He said, He will
say to many people in that day:”Go away I never knew you, you who
do wickedness!” Are you doing wickedness, or are you doing the
will of the Father, as Jesus did it, walking in u
