Those who inherit/enter the kingdom of God will go to heaven
• “And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire” (Mark 9:47)
(To enter the kingdom of God is the opposite of being cast into hell.)
• “Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world … Inasmuch as you (the unrighteous) did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me. And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous (who did good deeds) into eternal life.” (Matthew 25:34-46)
(The righteous inherit the kingdom of God and gain eternal life.)
• Those who do the will of Father God will enter the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 7:21).
“For this is the will of God, your sanctification … For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness. Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God” (1 Thes 4:3-8)
“… that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God …
that our God would count you worthy of this calling” (2 Thes 1:5,11)
Those who sin habitually will not inherit the kingdom of God
• “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners
will inherit the kingdom of God.” (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
• “Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.” (Gal. 5:19-21)
• “But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.” (Ephesians 5:3-6)
Those who sin habitually will incur the wrath of God
• “Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things
the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.” (Ephesians 5:6)
• “Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience” (Col. 3:5-6)
Those who obey unrighteousness (i.e. do evil) will not have eternal life
• “… eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness — indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil …” (Romans 2:7-9)
Those who sin habitually will not enter the New Jerusalem
• “Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city (of the New Jerusalem). But outside are dogs (homosexuals) and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers
and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.” (Revelation 22:14-15)
Those who sin habitually are not overcomers and will go into the lake of fire
• “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be
My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with
fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:7-8)
Those who are carnally minded will go to an eternal death
• “For to be carnally minded is (eternal) death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God …” (Romans 8:6-7)
• “For if you live according to the flesh you will die (spiritually); but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live (spiritually).” (Romans 8:13)
• “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption (eternal death), but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.” (Galatians 6:7-8)
• “But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth (eternal) death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.” (James 1:14-16)
Instead of practicing sin, it might be a good idea to pursue this eternal life thing
(to which you were called) --- it sounds pretty good to me!
• “But you, O man of God, flee these (sin) things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called …” (1 Timothy 6:11-12)
• “… that He (Jesus) might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.” (Ephesians 5:25-27)
• “… to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight — if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel (eternal life) which you heard” (Colossians 1:22-23)
• “Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that (eternal life) for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize (eternal life) of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:12-14)
• “And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire” (Mark 9:47)
