We all need to remember that Jesus taught the kingdom of God, and that’s what He said we must enter into. So, we really need to take seriously the fact that Jesus died so that we can be forgiven, and now we can enter in, but we must remember the ways of man are not found there. So, the kingdom of God does not allow the man’s ways to be there. It’s very important that we follow what Jesus said for us to do in order to enter. One thing He started off with was, don’t do things to be seen of man. Do things that we are supposed to do and expect nothing in return.
Another thing that He said was to always watch and pray. I know, it seems difficult, but when we turn from the man that seeks the things of this world, it becomes quite easy to always pray and to watch for His coming which is not out of the sky but right in front of us in another person.
I feel strongly that because we have the opportunity to be in the spirit and be one in Him because of the forgiveness of Jesus that we should take it most seriously and put an effort to go there above all things that are tempting us of this world.
We must remember that when we see Him, we will be like Him, not in the next life but in this life. It will be a witness to the fact that we have believed and are following Him.
