WHO WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM?

1 CORINTHIANS 6:9-10

"Those who do wrong will not inherit the kingdom of God. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people- none of these will inherit the kingdom of God."

Unless you have been cleansed and made holy and right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by His Holy Spirit, you will not inherit the kingdom of God. Thus anyone who does wrong and sins against God is in the group who will not inherit the Kingdom of God. With the exception, that some of us were once like the above group and it is only because we have believed and called on the name of Jesus Christ that we will be saved and will be able to inherit the kingdom of God. Many people do not realize this important message and think there is no salvation. We believer's know better and need to spread the "Good News".

Do you want to share in the kingdom of heaven? Are you a sinner and unrighteous? The answer would be yes. Do not be deceived or mislead no one who does wrong will enter the kingdom. We were all sinners and once like those in the world. We as believers and with the help of the Holy Spirit came to a knowledge of our condition. We could not save ourselves and no one else can do it either. We needed a Saviour and thank God He has given us Jesus Christ.

When we confessed with our mouths and believed in our heart that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, we became born again, in the spirit. We became new men and were cleansed. We were made right and holy when we called on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the spirit of God. Will you inherit the kingdom of God? Not without being saved by Jesus Christ! Open your heart to Him today and ask for His forgiveness and Salvation.
