Will you be welcomed into the kingdom of Heaven?

Do you remember who you use to be before you came to an understanding of
who Jesus really is? Maybe you are an unbeliever and do not understand what
the death of Jesus upon the cross did for you and may not even care. There
is a list of people that will not be welcomed into the kingdom of heaven,
and i know that I was on that list more than once. *1 Cor 6:9 Do you not
know that the unrighteous will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom
of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters,
nor adulterers, nor effeminate [by perversion], nor those who participate
in homosexuality, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor
revilers [whose words are used as weapons to abuse, insult, humiliate,
intimidate, or slander], nor swindlers will inherit or have any share in
the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you [before you believed]...*
There are times that I see that old "me" coming to life again and I become
fearful that my walk with Jesus is not as good as it should be. For all
those that stumble and fall through their Christian walk, you must
understand that the cleansing process is continual. *1 Cor 6:11..But you
were washed [by the atoning sacrifice of Christ], you were sanctified [set
apart for God, and made holy], you were justified [declared free of guilt]
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the [Holy] Spirit of our God
[the source of the believer’s new life and changed behavior].* The Holy
Spirit is inside every believer and He is able to give new life and change
you from the inside out. We must give grace to the unbelievers that are
still living in the world and after the lust of the flesh, because, such
were some of us not to long ago. Jesus died on the cross for the world, all
because of love. May we show that love to all those who do not understand
it.
