AGAIN, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE UNTO A MERCHANT MAN, SEEKING GOODLY PEARLS: WHO, WHEN HE HAD FOUND ONE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE, WENT AND SOLD ALL THAT HE HAD, AND BOUGHT IT. Matthew 13:45,46. BUT SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS;... Matthew 6:33. > JESUS CHRIST GAVE A PARABLE IN MATTHEW 13:45,46 ON THE IMPORTANCE OF MAKING SURE WE ARE NOT EXEMPTED FROM THE KINGDOM OF GOD. HE LIKENED THE KINGDOM OF GOD TO A PRECIOUS PEARL THAT A RICH MERCHANT SOUGHT FOR, AND AFTER HE HAD FOUND IT, WENT AND SOLD ALL THAT HE HAD JUST TO BUY IT. IN MARK 9:47, JESUS GAVE ANOTHER SERIOUS INSTRUCTION, SHOWING JUST HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR EVERYONE TO STRIVE TO GAIN ENTRANCE INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. HE SAID THAT IF YOUR EYE, AS PRECIOUS AND IMPORTANT TO LIVING AS IT IS, WILL DISQUALIFY YOU FROM GAINING ENTRY INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD AT THE END OF YOUR LIFE, YOU SHOULD PLUCK IT OUT! THIS IS FOOD FOR THOUGHT WHEN WE OBSERVE HOW CARELESS WE COULD BE WHEN IT COMES TO THE MATTER OF MAKING IT TO HEAVEN AT THE END OF LIFE. WE SEEM TO TRIVIALISE THE PROBLEM OF SIN AND WHAT SIN IS CAPABLE OF DOING AGAINST OUR SOULS. REVELATION 21:8 MAKES US TO UNDERSTAND THAT NO SINNER HAS A PLACE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD BUT IN HELL. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT MODERN DAY THEOLOGIANS ARE WRITING AND TEACHING PEOPLE TO BE COMFORTALE IN THEIR SINFUL LIFESTYLE. THEY ARE EXPLAINING AWAY THE REALITY OF HEAVEN AND HELL. THESE TWO REALMS ARE REAL; THEY SHOULD NOT BE EXPLAINED AWAY. AS WE CONTINUE TO LIVE ON THIS PLANET EARTH, WE SHOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT WE DO NOT HAVE A PERMANENT STAY HERE. NO MATTER HOW BLESSED WE ARE WITH LONG LIFE, ETERNITY IS NOT HERE ON THIS PRESENT EARTH. A NEW EARTH AND A NEW HEAVEN ARE IN THE MAKING OF US ACCORDING TO REVELATION 21:1,2. THEREFORE, WHATEVER WILL DISQUALIFY US FROM GAINING ENTRY INTO THE NEW EARTH AND THE NEW HEAVEN SHOULD BE DISCARDED IMMEDIATELY. SEEK YE NOW THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. DEATH MAY COME AT ANY GIVEN TIME AND THE EXPECTED TOMORROW MAY NOT COME. FAILURE TO ENTER TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD LEAVES ROOM ONLY FOR THE SECOND OPTION WHICH IS DISASTROUS - HELL. TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION, NOW IS THE ACCEPTABLE TIME. EVERY WEIGHT THAT BESETS US MUST BE DONE AWAY WITH IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ADMONITION IN HEBREWS 12:1. MAY THE LORD GRANT US STRENGTH IN OUR INNER MAN TO STOP DOING WHATEVER EVIL WE ARE DOING THAT WILL MAKE US CANDIDATES FOR HELL, IN JESUS NAME AMEN. THANK YOU JESUS!!! SHALOM AND HEAVEN AT LAST, AMEN
