Today, we are going to focus on verses 13-23. My Bible calls these verses “Entering the Kingdom.” I don’t know about you, but I definitely want to know how to enter this kingdom! This “Kingdom” is referring to heaven. These verses describe two types of people: those who are entering the Kingdom of Heaven and those who aren’t. Please understand that once you are saved, there is nothing to fear about death! That’s why I’m so grateful for today’s reading because it tells us exactly how to enter the Kingdom of heaven! Pay close attention to these verses, and take time to think about God's eternal plan for you.
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.” Matthew 7:21
Prayer: Lord, please help me to know and understand what Your plan of salvation means so that I can walk with you forever. You take what we do with our time on this earth very seriously. Help me to honor You all of my days on earth before I enter into Your heavenly Kingdom! Amen.
