Not To Inherit The Kingdom Of God!
Many in Christendom not to inherit the kingdom of God!
Jesus said that his followers had to be every discerning of their conduct, and that a simple statement of faith was not sufficient in God's view.
QUOTE (JESUS speaks)
(Matthew 7:21-23) . . ."Not everyone saying to me, "Lord, Lord," will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. 22 Many will say to me in that day, "Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?" 23 And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness.
What frames the Christian standard of conduct?

Not To Inherit The Kingdom Of God! Revealed Bible The
No! What I"m saying is that the scriptures indicate that a hypocritical faith has no value.
QUOTE ( BIBLE citations)
(James 2:14-26) . . .Of what benefit is it, my brothers, if a certain one says he has faith but he does not have works? That faith cannot save him, can it?...18. Nevertheless, a certain one will say: "You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith apart from the works, and I shall show you my faith by my works." 19 You believe there is one God, do you? You are doing quite well. And yet the demons believe and shudder. 20 But do you care to know, O empty man, that faith apart from works is inactive?...24. YOU see that a man is to be declared righteous by works, and not by faith alone.
The reality of what Jesus says may be disturbing to some but, if it reaches the heart it can be life saving.
QUOTE (JESUS speaks)
(Matthew 7:13-14) . . ."Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; 14 whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.
