And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away” (Rev 21:4).
Only then can we be said to have truly repented and changed, and only then are we entitled to enter the heavenly kingdom. Clearly, accepting God’s work of judgment of the last days is the only way to achieve true repentance and change.
Many Christians believe the kingdom of heaven is in heaven, but the Lord’s Prayer says, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10).
Some Christians believe that as long as they accept the Lord Jesus’ salvation of the cross, verbally acknowledge the Lord and believe in Him in their hearts, then they are saved and will be able to enter the heavenly kingdom.
Therefore, only working hard outwardly doesn’t mean that we are the ones who do the will of the heavenly Father or that we can enter into the kingdom of heaven.
After hearing this, Xuesong, his wife, and his daughter looked at each other and smiled knowingly, for they had known the standard of entering the heavenly kingdom and have found the path to practice.
Only those who follow God’s will and become holy can enter into the kingdom of heaven. This is the only condition set by the Lord for entering the kingdom of heaven.
Only by experiencing God’s work of judgment in the last days can we be cleansed and changed into people who do God’s will; this is the one and only path into the kingdom of heaven.
This means that the kingdom of heaven is on earth but not in heaven, and that our final destination is also on earth but not in heaven. This is predestined by God. No one can change it.
