THE KINGDOM OF GOD
TEXT: JOHN 3:1-5
Key Verse:
"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3).
The kingdom of God is the dwelling place of God and His angels. It is a beautiful place prepared by God for His children to live with Him forever. Heaven is a place of everlasting peace, joy and rest.
The condition for entering this very place, and to see God, is holiness without which no one can see the Lord. As a child of God, you must be watchful to remain qualified to enter the kingdom of God.
The qualifications for a sinner to enter heaven are:
(a) Surrender your heart to Jesus, and allow Him to reign in your life.
(b) Love God with your whole heart and obey all His commandments.
(c) Love other people as yourself.
(d) Run away from people and things that can make you miss the kingdom of God.
(e) Live a holy life every day.
Each day you live, think of the beautiful place God has prepared for the saints, and pray to enter there.
Prayer: O Lord, help me to live a holy life in this world, so that I will enter Your Kingdom at last.
