WHO QUALIFIES TO ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND TO SEE THE LORD? Only the person who possesses ALL (not some) of the traits and life below: 1. “Except a man be BORN AGAIN, he cannot see the kingdom of God”(John 3:3). 2. “Blessed are the PURE IN HEART: for they shall see God”. (Matt. 5:8) 3. Those who “Follow PEACE WITH ALL MEN, and HOLINESS, without which no man shall see the Lord”(Heb. 12:14) 4. “Those who are HONEST and FAIR, who REFUSE TO PROFIT BY FRAUD, who STAY FAR AWAY FROM BRIBES, who REFUSE TO LISTEN TO THOSE WHO PLOT MURDER, who SHUT THEIR EYES TO ALL ENTICEMENT TO DO WRONG. He will dwell on high; His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks; Bread will be given him, His water will be sure. The Land of the Majestic King Your eyes will see the King in His beauty; they will see the land that is very far off.” (Isa. 33:15-17) 5. “Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? Those who LEAD BLAMELESS LIVES and DO WHAT IS RIGHT, SPEAKING THE TRUTH FROM SINCERE HEARTS. Those who REFUSE TO GOSSIP OR HARM THEIR NEIGHBORS OR SPEAK EVIL OF THEIR FRIENDS. Those who DESPISE FLAGRANT SINNERS, and HONOR THE FAITHFUL FOLLOWERS OF THE LORD, and KEEP THEIR PROMISES EVEN WHEN IT HURTS. Those who LEND MONEY WITHOUT CHARGING INTEREST, and who CANNOT BE BRIBED TO LIE ABOUT THE INNOCENT. He who does these things shall never be moved.” (Psa. 15:1-5) 6. “Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? Only those whose HANDS AND HEARTS ARE PURE, who DO NOT WORSHIP IDOLS and NEVER TELL LIES. They will receive the Lord’s blessing and have a right relationship with God their savior. Such people may seek you and worship in your presence, O God of Jacob.”(Psa. 24:3-6) 7. THE RIGHTEOUS – “Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will go through them, And I will praise the Lord. This is the gate of the Lord, through which THE RIGHTEOUS shall enter. I will praise You, For You have answered me, And have become my salvation.” (Psa. 118:19-20) 8. “Because HE HAS SET HIS LOVE UPON ME, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, AND SHOW HIM MY SALVATION.” (Psa. 91:14-16). “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART, AND WITH ALL THY SOUL, AND WITH ALL THY MIND. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (Matt. 22:37-40) 9. “HE WHO OVERCOMES shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son….. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.” (Rev. 21:7; 22:4) 10. “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.” (Matt. 25:21) 11. “He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you But to DO JUSTLY, To LOVE MERCY, And to WALK HUMBLY WITH YOUR GOD?” (Mic. 6:8) 12. “But the fruit of the Spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS, SELF-CONTROL. Against such there is no law.” (Gal. 5:22-23) 13. “But without FAITH it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.” (Heb. 11:6) Are you striving for all these? Not having some of them but having ALL OF THEM.
