ENTRY INTO HEAVEN:

How does one Prepare to enter into Heaven? What does it take for one to enter into Heaven?

1-For one to enter into Heaven, they must be born again; being born again. This entails being Renewed in the spirit through The Holy Spirit. But it also entails a physical Renewal through water baptism.

Baptism by The Holy Spirit through Christ Jesus; by receiving and accepting Christ Jesus as one’s LORD and Saviour.

John 1: 32-34 ‘“And John bore witness, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him. I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ And I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”’

John 3: 1-8 ‘“There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”’

2-We receive Salvation through the blood of The LORD Jesus Christ. In other words, there is no Salvation without The Blood of The LORD Jesus Christ.

Only through Christ Jesus does one become Redeemed for entry into Heaven. For there is no any other name that mankind receives Salvation (Redemption) for entry into Heaven, except the name of Christ Jesus The Messiah.

The blood sacrifice of The LORD Jesus Christ is an offer at the cross of Calvary. So those who believe in Him, accept Him, and receive Him as their LORD, Master and Saviour shall have indeed accepted the offer and thus received Salvation.

This offer is for atonement of sins. He takes away one’s sins and grants one salvation. But for one’s sins to be taken away by Christ Jesus through His blood offering at the cross of Calvary, one has to Repent of their sins before The LORD, by remorsefully and prayerfully seeking God’s mercy for the forgiveness of one’s sins.

John 3: 16-19 ‘“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.”’

3-Those who want to enter into Heaven must enter through the narrow gate and the narrow road.

It is narrow (gate and road) because there is Purification, Cleansing and Refining therein; which many who are on the Broad Road (and Wide gate) do not want to partake of. They are deceived by the allure of “easy life” that the world has to offer through the wide gate and the broad road.

Mathew 7: 13-14 ‘“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”’

4-Those who want to enter into Heaven must walk in Repentance, Righteousness, Holiness, Wisdom and Complete Surrender to The LORD Jesus Christ.

-Righteousness means being Right before The LORD, by following the Ways and the Requirements of The LORD.

-Holiness means separating oneself for The LORD. Setting oneself apart for the glory and honour of The LORD. In other words, a deliberate decision to follow Christ Jesus, and to run away from the Worldly sinful lifestyle.

-Wisdom means the fear of The LORD; Reverence before The LORD The God of Heaven.

Acts 17: 30-31 ‘“Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to Repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in Righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”’

5- Those who want to enter into Heaven must have the presence of The LORD upon them. The presence of The LORD is the glory of God: The Lampstand of God. The Light of God.

Those who fail to return to The LORD in Repentance for the forgiveness of their sins, will have their Lampstand taken away from them. For they will be found not having the presence of God. There will be no oil found in their lamps; for their lamps will have gone out.

Meaning, Repentance for the forgiveness of sins and thereby walking in Righteousness, Holiness, Wisdom and Complete Surrender to The LORD Jesus Christ is the key to endevour to continue to remain and partake of the presence of The LORD, The Glory of God, The Light of The LORD. The Lampstand of God.

Revelation 2: 4-5 ‘“Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; Repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.”’

6- Only those who have the garment of Light will be Raptured (taken/enter) into Heaven.

This garment of Light shields the faithful sons and daughters of The LORD from nakedness; for without it, one is engulfed in a spiritual darkness and nakedness.

Adam and Eve were shamefully exposed when they fell into sin in the Garden of Eden; and they then became naked, as the garment of Light was taken away from them.

This means that the day of the Rapture is The Day of Light; When The LORD will Rapture into Heaven those who will have the garment of Light Upon them: These will be the faithful sons and daughters of The LORD.

Revelation 16: 15 ‘“Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”’

7- Those who have the garment of light (the garment of righteousness) will have thus entered into Heaven, and will attend the celebration of the garment: The Wedding (Marriage) Supper of the Lamb in Heaven; for they shall have been Raptured into Heaven.

They will have been found worthy to enter into Heaven due to their Repentance, Righteousness, Holiness, Wisdom and complete Surrender to The LORD. This will be reflected by the garment they will be arrayed in, in the glorious Kingdom of The LORD God Almighty in Heaven.

Revelation 19: 6-9 ‘“And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For The LORD God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.”’

SHALOM!!!

REPENTANCE PRAYER:

Precious Jesus,

I acknowledge today that you are LORD and Savior of all mankind,

and today I have recognized my shortfall,

I Repent and turn away from all Sin.

Please cover me with your Precious Blood,

and establish your Word in my life,

that I may be found in Righteousness and Holiness

and write my name in your Book of Life

and baptize me with the power of the Holy Spirit

in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

AMEN.

 

Your Brother in Christ Jesus, and a Shepherd of The LORD,
