Jesus, the Only Way, (The Door) into the Kingdom of God

11. Those who reject Jesus will have no eternal life.

They remain condemned and will face God's wrath on the day of judgment and will not escape the eternal death in the lake of fire.

"For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son" (John 3:17-18).

In summary

In the beginning God scattered the human race around the world to prevent them from becoming united, powerful and bent on doing evil. After, Jesus paid the penalty for the sins of the whole world with His sinless blood by dying on the cross, He rose from the dead defeating Satan, sin and death. He forgave all our sins through Jesus Christ.

"Giving thanks to the father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."

Since the Day of Pentecost, God is gathering people from all walks of life from all around the world back to Himself through His Son, Jesus.

God proved this by pouring out His Holy Spirit on four different occasions, on various ethnic groups, baptizing them into the body of Christ with the same Signs and Wonders, that all people groups are welcome into the Great family of God merely on the basis of their faith in Christ Jesus as their Savior and Lord.

"For it by grace you have been saved, through faith -- and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -- not by works, so that no one can boast" (Ephesians 2:8).

All of us belong to one of the ethnic groups by our genealogy. Now God is welcoming all of us into His eternal Kingdom through Jesus Christ, His Only Son. God has done His part.

Now it is our part, whether we like to enter through that 'Door' or not. Jesus says,

"I am the door if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, ..." (John 10:9).

I am an Indian by birth, Singaporean by Nationality, and was a Hindu by religion; I speak both my native tongue and English. One day on hearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ I opened my heart to receive Jesus as my Savior and Lord. Just as He promised He came into my life in the form of the Holy Spirit, forgave my sins, and gave me eternal life. My life began to change as I trusted and obeyed Him. I had dislike for other religions and races. But now Jesus helps me to love all people irrespective of their Nationality, religion, race or language. He gave me a new heart and a new Spirit to help me do that just as God promises,

"And I will give you a new heart--I will give you new and right desires--and put a new spirit within you. I will take out your stony hearts of sin and give you new hearts of love. And I will put my Spirit within you so that you will obey my laws and do whatever I command" (Ezekiel 36:26-27).

This promise was fulfilled on the day of Pentecost in the life of those Israelites who received Jesus. It was also extended to all other ethnic groups as and when they received Jesus till this day.

God loves you and you can also become His child by receiving Jesus as your Savior and Lord. He will forgive all your sins; will give you a new heart and a new spirit just as He promised to all who receive His Son Jesus. He will also give you peace and purpose for your life and eternal life in Heaven.

"Adam's one sin brought the penalty of death to many, while Christ freely takes away many sins and gives glorious life instead" (Romans 5:16).

Church is the body of Christ on earth.

Church belongs to God. Christians are all members of that body. Christians were all like you before, belonging to other beliefs and Nationalities and races and languages. In Jesus Christ we are all 'One Big Family of God'.

I hope you now clearly understand God's Blueprint for man's salvation.

I encourage you to receive Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord today. No matter who you are, come to Jesus Christ as individuals and families, by ethnic groups and of languages. Come and join the Great family of God. Time is running short. Don't put it off for another day.

You may be saying, I want to be included in God's Family. I want to receive Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord. If that is your desire, and you are sincerely willing to trust and obey Him hereafter, here is how you can receive Christ.
