Seeking Salvation and Seeking to Inherit Kingdom 'stuff' are two different things
A lot of professing Believers in the Church of the Living God still aren't 'getting' that God's FREE GIFT of Eternal Salvation (offered freely) to ALL who believe the Gospel of Christ IS FREE! Many sincere but biblically ignorant Believers in the Church still have this concept in their mind that ONCE a person truly gets born-again...they need to 'maintain' or 'preserve' their free gift of eternal salvation by living up to a certain moral standard! Now, it's a good thing for a Believer to try to live up to a moral standard that's pleasing to the Lord...BUT...it's NOT a 'good thing' to tell a Believer that they need to maintain a certain moral standard IF they want to stay saved! That my friends IS a WORKS GOSPEL that doesn't save anyone!
In this podcast series, I'm trying to get God's people to understand that when a person (found mostly in the Gospels) is ASKING WHAT they need to do... to 'inherit' or 'get into' God's kingdoms (God's (Heavenly and Millennial kingdoms is implied)...they are NOT asking these questions seeking to know WHAT it takes to get eternally saved! They are asking these questions seeking to know WHAT IT TAKES to have a 'better' (than normal) eternal life while living in God's kingdom in the next life! Yes, you heard me right! The Bible is crystal clear! Not all born-again, blood-bought, eternally saved children of God are going to be seen the same to the Lord! There will be children of God in God's Heavenly Kingdom whom the Lord IS pleased with (because He deemed them FAITHFUL in their walk)... and there will be children that God's displeased with (because He deemed them UNFAITHFUL in their walk! In fact, there will be eternally saved children of God whom the Lord is SO DISPLEASED with...that they will not even be allowed into God's Heavenly and Millennial Kingdom areas!
Brethren, contrary to what many of you are taught...the Good Lord does NOT reward all His children the same in eternity. Contrary to what many of you are taught, (in eternity) the Good Lord doesn't 'see' His children all the same way. The Bible clearly teaches that the more faithful the Lord finds you (at the Judgment Seat of Christ)...the more Kingdom rewards, responsibilities and accolades you'll receive in the next life! It's that simple! God tells us in the Scriptures that His children have a choice to make: Serve Him now in this life...and you'll suffer loss of stuff and friends. However, IF you choose to do that...(i.e. give it up for God in this life) (in eternity) you WILL 'get back' far more than what you gave up in this life. If the Lord finds you faithful...you will receive special Kingdom rewards and honors in the next life! ON THE OTHER HAND: If you're a Believer living in this world for your self and for the things which bring you worldly pleasure in this life...YOU WILL suffer loss of special kingdom rewards, blessings and honors in the next life! ALL that fleshly 'stuff' that you so tightly 'hung on to' (while alive on planet earth)...and which now costs you dearly in eternity...will be a regret you have forevermore!
