The Kingdom of Heaven is Obtained by Good Works

Are good works required to enter heaven, or are we saved by faith alone?
Salvation, and being in the Kingdom of God is by faith, and faith only. But to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, obedience is required.
In this 6th video on Eight Kingdoms, Michael Pearl explains the difference from the Bible.

[@statesman6379]

@@klausmkl That is not a verse about losing salvation if you don't do works. Salvation is by faith alone in Christ alone apart from works. If you trust in your works for your salvation, you will not be saved according to Scripture. Regarding the verse you quoted, Revelation already defined the definition of the lampstand in Revelation 1:20. The lampstand represents the 7 churches. Each candle represents one of the 7 churches. This particular candle that Jesus is referring to is the Church of Ephesus. He is not talking about individuals; He is talking specifically to Ephesus' candlestick. Jesus' warning was that if Ephesus refuses to repent and refuses to continue the good things that it started off doing, then Jesus was going to remove the Church from its place in His will. Moreover, a close study of Revelation 2-3 reveals that this is a prophetic passage about the entire history of the Church on Earth. Ephesus represents the first Church Age. This is the Apostolic Church age, where the Church was first established and laid down by the Apostles. They started off with passion and obedience to the Apostle’s instructions, but quickly reverted back into their old ways, which was one of the reasons why Paul rebuked the early churches in his writings in 1 Corinthians, Ephesians, etc. The Bible clearly teaches that salvation is a free gift of grace by faith in Christ alone. It teaches that you have no righteousness at all innately. On your best day, your righteousness is like filthy rags and falls short the glory of God. The Bible teaches that God is going to judge based on the whole law. You will either keep the whole law perfectly and be saved, or if you stumble on one point of the law then you are guilty of breaking all of it. The Bible teaches that you are saved at conversion and will receive the Holy Spirit as a seal of your salvation and keep the Holy Spirit for the Day of Redemption. A Christian cannot lose the Holy Spirit before that day comes. They are sealed.

@@klausmkl What does candlestick means? Revelation 1:20 King James Bible The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. candlesticks are churches. Who was the Lord Jesus talking to? Revelation 2:1 King James Bible Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; The church of Ephesus. What happened to the church of Ephesus? It was destroyed and be no more. This is what is means by "remove thy candlestick out of his place". It has nothing to do with personal salvation. Moreover, the seven churches in Revelation are also seven church period. The church of Ephesus is the first church period that the churches are established by the apostles. Many of the elders and church fathers are the students of the apostles. Therefore they are able to distinguish between true apostles and false apostles: Revelation 2:2 King James Bible I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: Now we are living in the final church period, the church of Laodicea. The Lord Jesus is coming to catch up the church very soon. This is a crucial time for us to examine ourselves: Are you truly saved? Did you put your faith on the Lord Jesus, His finished work on the cross and His precious blood ONLY for your salvation? Or are you trusting your own works for your salvation? God bless and Maranatha!

[@wordjr.]

Our Salvation "isn't works based", but our Faith "is works based". We NEED Faith in order to be saved (Eph 2:8). . . - (James 2) makes it blatantly clear that our "faith can die". --(verse 17) says faith without works is dead, and this point gets repeated in (verse 20) --(verse 21) shows that our father Abraham was jutisified by works, which was before the Torah was given to Israel . . . So why should we be exempt from works of faith and acquire faith through slothfulness? Can sloth, being a deadly sin, achieve salvation? Can death and life reside in the same house? Absolutely not. --(verses 22-23) goes futher to explain that Abraham's "works" is what MADE his faith "perfect", which fulfilled the scriptures saying that Abraham "believed God and it was imputed unto him for righteousness". Then (verse 24) follows that up by saying that "we are not justified by faith only, but by works also", which means we can't have one without the other; both have to be intact in order for us to be justified. So "Abraham's works" was evidence to God that Abraham had "faith"; which signified his "belief in God"; this proves that belief CANNOT BE achieved through the mind alone, but by works also. Faith is not a "mere function of the mind" like the Christian world of today sees it, works HAVE TO BE INVOLVED in order to be a "believer". --then (verse 26) concludes the chapter by saying "as the body without the spirit is dead, so is faith without works dead also". Our faith is "works based", faith is the vehicle and works is the fuel, if we dont fuel up with works, our faith dies on the road[way]. **So (James 2) makes it CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT OUR FAITH CAN DIE, IF WE STOP "WORKING"!!! This also proves that our "SALVATION CAN BE FORFEITED!!!" Because multiple places in the New Testament specifically states that we are "saved through faith", and if our faith "DIES", that means its "NO LONGER EXISTENT", and if faith is non-existent, than Salvation is non-existent plain and simple. - Jesus touches on this "same exact subject" in (Rev 3:1-2) in the letter to the church at Sardis, he said "strengthen the things which remain: that are READY TO DIE: for I have NOT found your WORKS perfect before God". They were on the verge of dying. Those passages coincide with (James 2:22) where it says "works makes our faith perfect" along with (verses 17; 20 & 26) which says "faith without works is dead". Sardis' works was falling short of "perfection", their "FAITH WAS DYING"; due to a "work shortage". (Rev 3:5) indicates that the Lord was on the verge of "blotting members of Sardis out of the book of life", if they didn't repent and overcome their slothfulness in works. The "book of life" is the "citizenry" of the kingdom of God, if we don't acquire citizenship in God's kingdom, there's nowhere else to go. Even though we have to endure[work] till the end to be saved (Matt 10:22), Salvation is still a free gift, otherwise man would be able to boast of himself, but man has no power within himself, so he can't boast.

[@DCCentralComedy]

@@vijay85321 You are wrong. The Bible clearly says believing in Christ is enough. Did the thief on the cross bear any fruit of salvation or did any works? If it’s true that you need fruits of salvation to get to heaven, how much do you need and how hard should you work to get to heaven? You do realize that you believe in a work based salvation which will send you straight to Hell. When the jailer was about to kill himself and Paul stopped him, he ran to Paul and Silas and asked them how to get saved Paul said “believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved” “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not the result of works, so that no one may boast.”

[@mouthpiece200]

You should not accuse people of needing to study the Bible more. If the vast majority of Bible scholars cannot come to a truth through study, then it is not for lack of study that people don't find the truth. You're making a very big claim, and that's fine. Where can we find evidence that there will be a new dispensation? I suppose there have already been several dispensations, arguably even two at the same time (Jews and Gentiles before Christ died), so another dispensation shouldn't be too shocking, except that I'd need to see more evidence of it. This channel is new to me, so its a new concept to entertain the idea that kingdom of heaven and kingdom of God might be separate. But its a huge departure from anything we've heard in traditional Christianity.

Good works are not enough, you must have love in your heart. Good works can be the product, will be the product of those given the opportunity of love in your heart. Love is the greatest, love for God, God's creation and everything around it. You must love people, places and things created by God.

[@Preach_the_Gospel_7788]

Hello Nix: See that the Old and New Testament both say all people are condemned by the law, not saved by the law: So, trying to enter the kingdom and be saved by works means NO Salvation. Our BEST righteous acts, for the purpose or earning or qualifying for salvation, are as FILTHY RAGS: Isaiah 64:6 (KJV), “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.” Galatians 5:4 (KJV), “Christ is become of NO EFFECT unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law (works); ye are fallen (separated) from grace (not saved). Galatians 3:10 (KJV), “For as many as are of the works of the law ARE UNDER THE CURSE; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.” (We CAN’T keep all of the law (not sin) and are therefore condemned by the law.) The gospel (good news on HOW to be saved) of grace given to Paul only, and the ONLY Gospel available to ANY person today: The UNDESERVED FREE GIFT of Salvation is received by ANY person that Trusts in their Heart ONLY on Jesus’ (God the Son who came as God in flesh) DEATH (includes the shedding of Lord Jesus’ blood), BURIAL, and RESURRECTION for salvation, with NO faith for salvation on any type of human effort, works, or claimed positive human qualities. When a person believes only on the good news (gospel) of salvation, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV), summarized above, ONCE, God Immediately makes the believer born-again (permanently spiritually SINLESS in God’s eyes regarding standing and salvation), AS IF THE BELIEVER HAS NEVER SINNED. THERE IS NOTHING A PERSON CAN DO TO QUALIFY FOR, EARN, OR RECEIVE ANY PART OF SALVATION. ONLY because of God’s mercy and GRACE, he offers every person the UNMERITED FREE GIFT of Salvation that’s received by FAITH, plus Nothing. Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) - “For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that NOT of YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God; NOT of WORKS, lest any man should boast.” (GRACE means UNDESERVED FREE GIFT. NO human effort or works can be involved in receiving or keeping salvation. We must trust ONLY on the payment for all sins that Lord Jesus made at the cross.) Romans 11:6 (KJV), “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace....” (Trusting on ANY human effort or works means that person is not under grace, but is attempting to qualify for salvation by the law/commandment keeping/human effort, and is therefore NOT saved). BELIEVING the Gospel, (1 Cor. 15:1-4) with NO Faith on ANY Human Effort, is the ONLY way to Receive Salvation. Notice what is NOT included (works / human effort). Romans 4:5 (KJV), “But to him that worketh not, but BELIEVETH on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” (‘righteousness’ means God makes the believer sinless in God’s eyes concerning standing and salvation) Acts 16:30-31(KJV) - “The Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” Romans 3:28 (KJV), “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by FAITH without the deeds of the law.”

I would be very careful that you are using great discernment here. One word that stands out to me in these passages is "sees." How does one "see" Jesus? By having a relationship with Him. Another word that stands out to me is the word "in." How does one get to be "in" Him? Once again, the relationship piece. Does God let everyone "in"? He does not. You must prove your faith to Him, by doing what He says. How does one know what He says? By having a relationship with Him.

Rev 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

[@BlackhelmetapparelUS]

@@jamesfields4149 I just think saying that the kingdom of God can be inside you, but that doesn’t mean you will get into heaven is misleading. Matthew uses “kingdom of heaven.” Parallel passages in mark and Luke say “kingdom of God.” Likely matt did that as his book is mostly for the Jews who are skittish about using the name of God. This mans premise is you have to do works to enter heaven, then his example is people who did works who didn’t get to go to heaven…… Those people seem to think their ability to go to heaven is based on their works. If they had said, “but Jesus, we believe in you and your sacrifice for us as the perfect Son of God,” that’s the profession that shows you know Him. The PROOF of your relationship, knowing Him, believing in Him is seen in the works you should then do. Like I believe in gravity, so there are things I will and won’t do because of my true belief. Likewise, I believe in Jesus. He IS the messiah, so I will take up my cross daily to follow him, to die to myself, to be an ambassador of his kingdom to others, to be generous to the poor and widow, do justice, speak the truth and remain unstained by the world working out my salvation with fear and trembling as the Holy Spirit inspired both Paul and James to write. But doing those things of myself, I can accomplish nothing. I think his statement of being able to be a part of the Kingdom of God but not part of the Kingdom of Heaven is intentionally confusing, which is scary, as he is well respected, and it can lead people astray into a works based salvation. I see that God does deal differently with people in different times in the Bible, so in a way I’m dispensational, but this level of division is too far. My prayers are for all to come to know the Truth as the Holy Spirit intends.

A Born-Again believer is Not trying to enter the kingdom, they will rule and reign over the kingdom. We are NOT under OT law, so we are not commanded to be water baptized; we are SPIRITUALLY baptized by God to make the Believer Born-Again (Spiritually Sinless): Romans 10:4 (KJV), “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” 1 Corinthians 12:13 (KJV), “For by one Spirit are we all (SPIRITUALLY NOT WATER) baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.” Water Baptism cannot be part of HOW a person is saved / born-again. 1 Corinthians 1:17 (KJV) - “For Christ sent me NOT to BAPTIZE, but to preach the gospel; not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of NO EFFECT.” See that the Old and New Testament both say all people are condemned by the law, not saved by the law: So, trying to enter the kingdom and be saved by works means NO Salvation. Our BEST righteous acts, for the purpose or earning or qualifying for salvation, are as FILTHY RAGS: Isaiah 64:6 (KJV), “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.” Galatians 5:4 (KJV), “Christ is become of NO EFFECT unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law (works); ye are fallen (separated) from grace (not saved). Galatians 3:10 (KJV), “For as many as are of the works of the law ARE UNDER THE CURSE; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.” (We CAN’T keep all of the law (not sin) and are therefore condemned by the law.) The UNDESERVED FREE GIFT of Salvation is received by ANY person that Trusts in their Heart ONLY on Jesus’ (God the Son who came as God in flesh) DEATH (includes the shedding of Lord Jesus’ blood), BURIAL, and RESURRECTION for salvation, with NO faith for salvation on any type of human effort, works, or claimed positive human qualities. When a person believes only on the good news (gospel) of salvation, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV), summarized above, ONCE, God Immediately makes the believer born-again (permanently spiritually SINLESS in God’s eyes regarding standing and salvation), Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) - “For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that NOT of YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God; NOT of WORKS, lest any man should boast.” (GRACE means UNDESERVED FREE GIFT. NO human effort or works can be involved in receiving or keeping salvation. We must trust ONLY on the payment for all sins that Lord Jesus made at the cross.) Romans 11:6 (KJV), “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace....” (Trusting on ANY human effort or works means that person is not under grace, but is attempting to qualify for salvation by the law/commandment keeping/human effort, and is therefore NOT saved). "work out my salvation with fear and trembling" means that ALL born-again believers will be given rewards based on good works, and they can be chastised by God if they are involved with practicing sin. Obtaining and/or keeping Salvation does not involve any works. Eternal Security for the born-again believer is true. A born-again believer CANNOT lose salvation. Believing that a born-again person can lose salvation means we approach God for salvation with faith on HUMAN EFFORT, and that means NO salvation. Ephesians 4:30 (KJV), “And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are SEALED unto the day of redemption.” John 6:37 (KJV), “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I WILL NO WISE CAST OUT.” 1 Peter 1:4-5 (KJV), “To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are KEPT BY THE POWER OF GOD through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.” John 10:28-29 (KJV), “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than ALL; and NO MAN is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.” 2 Corinthian 1:22 (KJV), “Who hath also SEALED us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.”

[@orangemanbad]

True faith brings true desire to conform one’s life to Christ and one’s life conformed to Christ produces good works which brings salvation. So yes, through faith alone by grace. However, without the good works is there true faith?

[@Preach_the_Gospel_7788]

Hello Ranran: Peter was given the gospel of the kingdom, which is NOT in effect today, which offered salvation and the kingdom to primarily the Jewish people by faith. They were under the law but NOT saved by the law. No person can keep all of the law, so every person is fully condemned by the law. EVERY saved person in the history of the earth will be saved by GRACE (UNDESERVED GIFT) through FAITH, plus Nothing. The gospel of the kingdom: All they had to believe was WHO Jesus was/is: God the Son, the King, the messiah/savior; with that faith they would have salvation and the kingdom. The kingdom is the 1,000 year kingdom on earth that was, and will be, offered primarily to the Jewish people. Lord Jesus will rule over it, and the born-again Christians will be co-heirs and reign with Lord Jesus over the kingdom. The kingdom will be offered Again ONLY in the tribulation; that is when the gospel of the kingdom will be in effect. Matthew 24:14 (KJV), “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24 is conveyed concerning unbelieving people that go into the tribulation, because they were not born-again/saved under Paul’s gospel and removed at the rapture. The rapture was a mystery, unknown before Paul, and it was given to Paul only. The gospel of grace was given to Paul ONLY and is the Only gospel available to ANY person today: Salvation is received by faith trusting ONLY on Lord Jesus’ (God the Son) death (includes the shedding of his blood), burial, and resurrection, plus nothing. A Believer is SPIRITUALLY Baptized into the body of Christ when they Believe only on Jesus’ (God the Son) death (includes the shedding of his blood), burial, and resurrection, plus nothing.

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Notice that trusting on WORKS for salvation and/or entering the kingdom means NO salvation). Believing, plus Nothing, is the only way to be saved. “Doing the WILL OF THE FATHER” is BELIEVING ON THE SON. John 6:40 (KJV), “And this is the WILL of him that sent me, that everyone which seeth the Son, and BELIEVETH on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” HOW to be saved today and leave in the rapture; or be saved before the rapture when a person dies: Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) - “For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that NOT of YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God; NOT of WORKS, lest any man should boast.” (GRACE means UNDESERVED FREE GIFT. NO human effort or works can be involved in receiving or keeping salvation. We must trust ONLY on the payment for all sins that Lord Jesus made at the cross.) Romans 11:6 (KJV), “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace....” (Trusting on ANY human effort or works means that person is not under grace, but is attempting to qualify for salvation by the law/commandment keeping/human effort, and is therefore NOT saved).

It's both. It's really 3 things: 1. It refers to 2 physical places: God's Millennial Kingdom on this Earth. 2. God's Kingdom on the New Earth. 3. It's God's agenda including His personal connection to us (this refers to Luke 17:20-21).

[@LordandSaviourJesusChrist]

The video is not about our salvation. Micheal Pearl is not teaching salvation by works. He is talking about the Millennium kingdom. The salvation is different for the ppl in that time like it was different in the time of Moses. If you would patiently listen to what he is explaining you would learn more about the exciting future awaiting us with the Lord. I pray we would argue less in the body of Christ, instead be more patient and willing to listen. We can learn more and receive more with a humble heart. This teaching is valuable and worth watching. The right division of the bible is crucial in order to understand the context. God bless everyone.

Salvation unto sanctification, not the other way around. I believe you have these terms intertwined. No one said to sin or disobey commandments. I certainly didn't. -For IF you love Him you will keep His commandments. I doubt you can be born again, not loving Jesus and His gospel. IF you believe in Lordship Salvation, you are in some type of cult. It strays from Christianity to reject the blood atonement of Christ ALONE for your salvation. Also, you can't keep the law. Most people can't even name the Ten Commandments, the 600+ sins of Moses, or the countless sins of omission. May I ask, are you catholic?@James-qy6fb

The one thing never discussed on subjects like this is ... what about the others? We are commanded to love others as we love ourselves, or in modern speak, to not love ourselves more than we love others. How often do we hear "the saved" speak about their efforts to help the unsaved get right with God? We hear a lot about their personal "ticket to fly" and it begs the question "what about the others that don't have a ticket?" Will no one stand in the gap for them, when the going gets rough?" Christ went to the cross for others .. are we to just ignore that, as we with great pride battle over whether a person is saved by works/grace/or a combination of both? I wouldn't doubt if most ticket-holders will miss their Departure while consumed with winning this age-old question. What does it matter anyway? Have faith, have love for others, help those in need ... there is no law against love.

@@hex0rz1 I didn't think it necessary. It's just common, basic sense that God has many wills. There are unending amounts of passages that say "God's will," "His will" etc., go to a word search and type in "will" you'll see 3837 mentions-now of course most of them are verbs. But okay, here's two different verses about God's wills I just picked at random, Rev. 17:17 and 1 John 5:14. Now tell me, does God have these wills in mind when He's speaking to the folks there in Matt 7? No, but those are still His wills, God's will is, of course, for everyone to believe on Jesus but that's just one of His many wills, you can't isolate a verse that says "will" to make it always mean one "will" found in some other passage. I have no doubt John 6's will is "effectually" here in Matt but you're making it out like it's the one and only "active" will at the "forefront" when that shouldn't be so easily assumed as you got vss. 15-20 and vss. 24-27 encompassing vs. 22 in the immediate context

NO human effort or works can be involved in receiving or keeping salvation. We must trust ONLY on the payment for all sins that Lord Jesus made at the cross.) Romans 11:6 (KJV), “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace....” (Trusting on ANY human effort or works means that person is not under grace, but is attempting to qualify for salvation by the law/commandment keeping/human effort, and is therefore NOT saved). We CANNOT DO anything to DESERVE salvation, so trusting on Human Effort means NO Salvation. Salvation is an UNDESERVED GIFT received by Trusting in our Heart ONLY on the payment for all sins made by Jesus, God the Son who came as GOD in Flesh, with his death, burial, and resurrection. BELIEVING the Gospel, (1 Cor. 15:1-4) with NO Faith on ANY Human Effort, is the ONLY way to Receive Salvation. Notice what is NOT included (works / human effort). Romans 4:5 (KJV), “But to him that worketh not, but BELIEVETH on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” (‘righteousness’ means God makes the believer sinless in God’s eyes concerning standing and salvation) Acts 16:30-31(KJV) - “The Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” Romans 3:28 (KJV), “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by FAITH without the deeds of the law.” God makes the believer Permanently Born-Again (Sinless Standing in God’s Eyes), as if you have NEVER sinned; this is a one-time event. Notice it's NOT by Human effort. This is the SPIRITUAL WASHING that water baptism ONLY SYMBOLIZED: John 3:3 (KJV), “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 1:12-13 (KJV), “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons (children) of God, even to them that believe on his name. Which were BORN, not of blood, NOR OF THE WILL OF THE FLESH, NOR OF THE WILL OF MAN, BUT OF GOD.” Titus 3:5 (KJV), “NOT by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the WASHING OF REGENERATION, and renewing of the Holy Spirit.” Jesus is God the Son who came as God in flesh: Titus 2:13 (KJV), “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great GOD and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” (The Rapture) Colossians 1:15 (KJV), “Jesus is the image of the invisible GOD......" 1 Timothy 3:16 (KJV), “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: GOD was manifest in the flesh." Isaiah 9:6 (KJV), "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

@@Isaiah_Cochran I understand what your saying and sympathize with you. But again, it is within context. Im not being all inclusive of "will" because they are not exclusive to the context of what this "will" is. If that were so, I would have said so. But the main theme is about entering the kingdom of heaven. The only "will" that applies here is that of spoken by Jesus in John. If God had a different "will" in mind, it would have been spoken of. Either: 1. The Father would not have sent his Son, and the conditions to enter the kingdom of heaven would be different. Or 2. The Son would have specified that believing on him would not be the condition to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again, connecting John's verse to this verse in Matthew, is the contextual answer.

First thing you’ve shared that I don’t think I agree with. Not that you need my approval or say so. I’m always open to new thinking of scriptures. If nothing else you’ve given me another view I’ve never heard to look into. Definitely open to the fact that I could be wrong. Excited to dig into these explanations. Always a great teacher whether we agree or not. Good Godly man.

[@garymcmullin2292]

judging from the comments and having listened to this presentation I can see where there is confusion among many. It is important to stress up front that the kingdom of Heaven is the earthly kingdom set up after the tribulation, the people at that time are those who have endured the tribulation period, it is NOT the class of humanity that was saved by grace since since the time that Jesus was resurrected. But rather it is those that are alive and endured the suffering, stood steadfast for God and denied the Antichrist, during the tribulation period. The church which comprises all believers, that were called out unto God in the age of grace, have been removed prior to the tribulation, they are in the Kingdom of God and WILL return to Earth with Jesus at the end of the tribulation, the beginning of the Kingdom of Heaven and they are part of the Kingdom of Heaven because they are of the Kingdom of God. Traditional interpretation is that the kingdom of Heaven is a subset of the kingdom of God, which is over all. This is my understanding and hopefully it is correct and will help ease some of the confusion of what I think is trying to be said.

I think you explained that very well! I just watched his Kingdom series a few weeks ago and my mind was blown. So many verses that were unclear to me for 40+ years are now crystal clear. I think most people in the comments who are disagreeing need to watch that series so they’ll understand what he’s meaning in this video.

...& those good works were committed & established by God, no one else! There is no good but the Father, & even mimicking his good way is the best we can do.

Titus 2:11-14 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works. Jeremiah 31:33 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Jeremiah 24:7 I will give them a heart to know that I am the Lord, and they shall be my people and I will be their God, for they shall return to me with their whole heart. Isaiah 45:8 Shower, O heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain down righteousness; let the earth open, that salvation and righteousness may bear fruit; let the earth cause them both to sprout; I the Lord have created it. Psalm 85:10-13 Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other. Faithfulness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky. Yes, the Lord will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase. Righteousness will go before him and make his footsteps a way. 1 John 2:6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. 1 Peter 2:21 For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. Matthew 10:38 And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

[@sramdeojohn4428]

Yep, I believe there is a difference in the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God.... The 'kingdom of heaven ' phrase is never mention in any epistles or any books of the new testament after Mathew's recordings....i don't think that is by coincidence. You will not see the phrase "Kingdom of heaven" after Mathew's Gospel. The Kingdom of God is definitely different from the kingdom of heaven. I first learn of this from Michael Pearl messages and it was something I never thought of before. 🏆👏🙌🙏

"We are saved by grace through faith, not by works, lest anyone should boast", wrote the Apostle Paul to the Christians at Ephesus.

[@alejandroumaslay3657]

I’m not sure with that, read Ephesians 2:10, what it says? or Philippians 1:6, 2:12, and Colossians 1:10, same apostle who wrote Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians.

[@statesman6379]

@@alejandroumaslay3657 Salvation is by faith alone, not by works. We are called to do good works, but not to obtain salvation. Philippians 2:12 reads, “Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed-not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence-continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling…” This verse is often misused. Before I say more, verse 12 is not even a complete sentence, so let’s finish the thought and sentence by looking at verse 13: “…for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.” One of the reasons verse 12 is often misinterpreted is because the rest of the sentence is often not included with the interpretation. Verse 12 is often incorrectly used to say that Christians have to work out their salvation, which follows that one must do works in order to be saved. Of course that view would directly contradict our foundational passage of Ephesians 2:8-9. Galatians 3:21 says, “For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.” Galatians 2:21 says, “I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!” If we could work out our own salvation, Christ would not have had to die. Philippians 2:12 therefore, is obviously not saying that. So what is Philippians saying? When we are saved, we are saved to do good works and to obey the Lord. Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Philippians 2:12 is saying simply to do what we are called to do. “Work out your salvation” does not mean to work it out to obtain it, but rather work it out because you already have it. It is saying do what you were saved to do. According to the New Testament, we are not supposed work out our salvation in our own strength, but rather piggy-back on the strength of Jesus to do what He calls us to do. For it is God who works in us to will and to act according to His good purpose. Salvation is a cooperative commitment: both God and you are doing the work where, He is strengthening you to pull off what He calls you to do. “Fear and trembling” means that we are to take our salvation seriously. We are supposed to serve and obey the Lord in reverence in the strength that He provides. God’s goal for us is for us to become more and more pure and holy. Our spirits are perfect because Christ imputed His perfection to us. Working out our salvation is a process of making our souls more like Him until we receive our new bodies in our next life and are made complete and holy through and through.

[@brandonperry5073]

Its by grace God gives us good works since we our his handiwork producing goodfruit. But you cant lean on your own understanding and do works by your hands. But bless be your hands when you pray to the lord of the harvest to send you out as lambs among wolves. Pretty simple. So simply its by grace you are saved not by your own works so no man may boost.

[@johnjdillen5034]

The people that said Lord Lord didn’t we prophesy in your name and cast out demons in your name were boasting and trusting in their good works to save them rather than trusting in the finished work of Jesus on the Cross. There will be no boasters in heaven. Ephesians 2:8-9. If you say good works are needed to save us you are spitting in the Lord’s face and telling him his perfect, sinless blood wasn’t good enough. That sounds like pride to me, the very reason Satan was cast down from heaven.

Eph 2.10, good works, that we should walk in them. This is the reason for spirit rebirth/called/justified. The whole of scripture is to be worthy to enter the KOH/KOG (MIllennium) in a glorified body to serve Christ for 1K years. His work on the cross gave us justification, but His resurrection gave us sanctification if we pursue it. The gift is faith, we use it for sanctification/reward.

[@Preach_the_Gospel_7788]

Hello Doug: Peter and the other apostles, except Paul, was given the gospel of the kingdom, which is NOT in effect today, which offered salvation and the kingdom to primarily the Jewish people by faith. They were under the law but NOT saved by the law. No person can keep all of the law, so every person is fully condemned by the law. EVERY saved person in the history of the earth will be saved by GRACE (UNDESERVED GIFT) through FAITH, plus Nothing. The gospel of the kingdom: All they had to believe was WHO Jesus was/is: God the Son, the King, the messiah/savior; with that faith they would have salvation and the kingdom. John 6:47 (KJV) "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that Believeth on me hath everlasting life." The kingdom is the 1,000 year kingdom on earth that was, and will be, offered primarily to the Jewish people. Lord Jesus will rule over it, and the born-again Christians will be co-heirs and reign with Lord Jesus over the kingdom. The kingdom will be offered Again ONLY in the tribulation; that is when the gospel of the kingdom will be in effect. Matthew 24:14 (KJV), “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24 is conveyed concerning unbelieving people that go into the tribulation, because they were not born-again/saved under Paul’s gospel and removed at the rapture. The rapture was a mystery, unknown before Paul, and it was given to Paul only. The gospel of grace was given to Paul ONLY and is the Only gospel available to ANY person today: Salvation is received by faith trusting ONLY on Lord Jesus’ (God the Son) death (includes the shedding of his blood), burial, and resurrection, plus nothing. A Believer is SPIRITUALLY Baptized into the body of Christ when they Believe only on Jesus’ (God the Son) death (includes the shedding of his blood), burial, and resurrection, plus nothing. A Born-Again believer is Not trying to enter the kingdom, they will rule and reign over the kingdom. We are NOT under OT law, so we are not commanded to be water baptized; we are SPIRITUALLY baptized by God to make the Believer Born-Again (Spiritually Sinless): Romans 10:4 (KJV), “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” 1 Corinthians 12:13 (KJV), “For by one Spirit are we all (SPIRITUALLY NOT WATER) baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.” Water Baptism cannot be part of HOW a person is saved / born-again. 1 Corinthians 1:17 (KJV) - “For Christ sent me NOT to BAPTIZE, but to preach the gospel; not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of NO EFFECT.” The gospel (good news on HOW to be saved) of Grace given to Paul only, and the ONLY Gospel available to ANY person today: The UNDESERVED FREE GIFT of Salvation is received by ANY person that Trusts in their Heart ONLY on Jesus’ (God the Son who came as God in flesh) DEATH (includes the shedding of Lord Jesus’ blood), BURIAL, and RESURRECTION for salvation, with NO faith for salvation on any type of human effort, works, or claimed positive human qualities. When a person believes only on the good news (gospel) of salvation, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV), summarized above, ONCE, God Immediately makes the believer born-again (permanently spiritually SINLESS in God’s eyes regarding standing and salvation). See that the Old and New Testament both say all people are condemned by the law, not saved by the law: So, trying to enter the kingdom, or be saved today under the gospel of grace, with faith on ANY works means NO Salvation. Our BEST righteous acts, for the purpose or earning or qualifying for salvation, are as FILTHY RAGS: Isaiah 64:6 (KJV), “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.” Galatians 5:4 (KJV), “Christ is become of NO EFFECT unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law (works); ye are fallen (separated) from grace (not saved). Galatians 3:10 (KJV), “For as many as are of the works of the law ARE UNDER THE CURSE; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.” (We CAN’T keep all of the law (not sin) and are therefore condemned by the law.) Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV), “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful WORKS? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Notice that trusting on WORKS for salvation and/or entering the kingdom means NO salvation). Believing, plus Nothing, is the only way to be saved. “Doing the WILL OF THE FATHER” is BELIEVING ON THE SON. John 6:40 (KJV), “And this is the WILL of him that sent me, that everyone which seeth the Son, and BELIEVETH on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” HOW to be saved today and leave in the rapture; or be saved before the rapture when a person dies: Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) - “For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that NOT of YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God; NOT of WORKS, lest any man should boast.” (GRACE means UNDESERVED FREE GIFT. NO human effort or works can be involved in receiving or keeping salvation. We must trust ONLY on the payment for all sins that Lord Jesus made at the cross.) Romans 11:6 (KJV), “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace....” (Trusting on ANY human effort or works means that person is not under grace, but is attempting to qualify for salvation by the law/commandment keeping/human effort, and is therefore NOT saved).

[@biglane7782]

Seems to fit what Christ told the church of Thyatira: some He was pleased with and were told they would rule the nations with an iron rod (millennial reign) and some were tolerating immorality and where told they would be cast into great tribulation if they didn’t repent.
