В Мэтью 7:21-27 Иисус сказал, that not everyone, who calls Him Lord, Lord shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Because many will say in that day, Господин, Господин, разве мы не пророчествовали во Имя Твое? And in Thy Name cast out devils? And in Thy Name done many wonderful works? But Jesus will profess to them, that He never knew them and tell them to depart from Him. Then Jesus told them the parable of the wise and foolish man. If these are the words of Jesus, then the message that is preached in many churches deviates from the Word. Why did these people, who called Jesus their Lord and prophesied, cast out devils, and did many wonderful works, were not allowed to enter into the Kingdom of God? What does the Bible say about entering into the Kingdom of Heaven? Who will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven and who will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven? What must you do to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven?
Как войти в Царство Небесное?
Not every one that says unto Me, Господин, Господин, войдет в Царство Небесное; но исполняющий волю Отца Моего Небесного. Многие скажут Мне в тот день, Господин, Господин, разве мы не пророчествовали во имя Твое? и во Имя Твое изгоняли бесов? And in Thy Name done many wonderful works? И тогда я исповедую им, Я никогда не знал тебя: отойди от Меня, вы, делающие беззаконие.
Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that hearth these sayings of Mine, and does them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it (Мэтью 7:21-27)
When Jesus told the people the parable of the wise and foolish man, He first spoke about the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus told them how to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Иисус сказал, “not everyone, ВОЗ говорит: Господин, Господин, will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but only he, ВОЗ делает тот will of My Father“.
Люди, who came to Jesus, knew Jesus, because they called Jesus Lord.
So these people were not unbelievers (неевреи, безбожный), but they were believers. Потому что в следующем куплете, they defended themselves by saying:
“Господин, Господин, разве мы не пророчествовали во Имя Твое? и во Имя Твое изгоняли бесов? and in Thy Name done many wonderful works?”
Так, these people thought they were Christians. These people justified themselves, by telling Jesus, what kind of works they had done in His Name during their lives on earth.
The people had done, what Jesus had commanded the believers to do. Поэтому, they believed they were saved. They thought that they earned their way into the Kingdom of Heaven, by the works they had done ‘for Jesus’ in His Name. But Jesus didn’t know them.
Workers of iniquity will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven
These believers thought, that they deserved to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. But Jesus answered them and said: “Я никогда не знал тебя: отойди от Меня, you workers of iniquity.“
If we look up the word iniquity, это значит: illegality, то есть, нарушение закона или (вообще) злоба:- беззаконие, X трансгрессия (-ион) закон, неправедность.
Look at all those believers, who were not allowed to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
These people thought they were doing the right thing, they did all the works in the Name of Jesus and thought they knew Jesus.
Но Иисус сказал, they were workers of iniquity; violators of the воля Божия (закон Божий). Поэтому Jesus did not know them (Читайте также:’the glory of God’, и ‘a counterfeit Jesus produces counterfeit Christians').
Послушание Иисусу
Jesus wants you to spend time with Him and get to know Him. He wants you to abide in Him; слово. He wants you to hear and receive His words and obey them. Так много людей, who say they любить Иисуса and know Jesus and say they have a relationship with Him, в то время как на самом деле, they haven’t.
Because when you say, that you know Him and love Him, ты войдешь Его заповеди. You shall walk in Him and do the Word of God.
You shall walk in obedience to the воля Отца because the Father and the Son are One.
We have the opportunity to become a son of God. We have the privilege to have a relationship with the Father, через Иисуса Христа. He wants to have communion and fellowship with you.
God doesn’t want to be your Boss, but He wants to be your Father. Он любит тебя and He wants you to love Him too.
Если вы really love Him, you will show Him that you love Him by keeping His commandments and not sinning. That is the only way, to show Him that you love Him.
Sometimes people can be so focused on the works and results, that they lose track and forget the most important thing. The most important thing is to love God above all and to spend time with Him. You should build a relationship with Him. He is your Father and He is your Source.
The works will follow the believers
The works will follow the saints, Конечно, but the works should come forth out of the right Source; the Spirit and not the flesh.
You should walk in Его пути and do what He says and become a copy of Jesus Christ. Because that’s what the word ‘Christian’ означает; a copy of Christ.
You should look like Jesus all the time. Not only when you go to Church and/or when you go to prayer meetings or Bible studies. No…. You are a Christian 24 часов в день, семь дней в неделю. Это означает, that even when you are home alone and nobody is around and nobody is watching you, you should do His will.
The parable of the wise man and the foolish man
в parable of the wise man and the foolish man, Jesus is talking about two kinds of believers:
- The wise man; a believer who heard the words of God and acted upon the words of God. Поэтому, he was a doer of the Word
- The foolish man; a believer who also heard the words of God, but did not act upon the words of God. Поэтому, he was only a hearer of the Word and not a doer.
The wise man, who builds his house on the rock
The wise man’s house could resist anything that came his way. The house of the wise man was strong enough to resist any storm. Почему? Because the house was founded on a rock; Иисус Христос, слово. He heard the words of God and received His words and applied His words in his life. The wise man was a doer of the Word and did the will of God. He wasn’t influenced and led by his will nor by the people around him, but he was led by the words of God.
When you hear the words of God and do the words of God, you built on the Rock Jesus Christ. You are rooted and сидящий в Иисусе Христе и entered His rest and therefore you will be able to handle and overcome any attack, any storm, and any difficult situation in life. You shall stand and overcome by the Word of God.
The foolish man, who built his house on sand
The house of the foolish man wasn’t built on a solid foundation, it was built on sand. This foolish man heard the words, which instructed him to build his house on a rock, but he didn’t act upon the words.
The foolish man relied on his own insight and did his own will and rejected the instructions. When the floods and the storms came, the house was destroyed.
Hearers will wash away but doers will stand
When you only hear the words of God and don’t act upon the words of God, the words will remain words and shall eventually fade away. You don’t build upon His insight and His truth and don’t build upon the Rock Jesus Christ; слово, but you will live after your own will and build upon your own insight and the world’s insights, which equals sand.
Когда the storms will come into your life, you will be overtaken by these storms. You shall not be able to stand nor gain the victory (Читайте также: a prisoner of circumstances).
Иисус говорит: Тот, кто имеет Мои заповеди, и хранит их, это он любит Меня: и кто любит Меня, тот будет любим Отцом Моим, и я буду любить его, и проявлю Себя ему (Джон 14:21)
Иисус ответил и сказал ему, Если мужчина любит Меня, он сдержит Мои слова: and my Father will love him, и Мы придем к нему, и сотворите Нашу обитель с ним. He that loves Me not keeps not my sayings: и слово, которое вы слышите, не Мое, но Отца, пославшего Меня (Джон 14:23,24)
How do you enter into the Kingdom of Heaven?
How do you enter into the Kingdom of Heaven? You will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven through regeneration (Джон 3:5) and by doing the воля Отца на земле (Мэтью 7:21).
The will of the Father is obedience to His Word; Иисус Христос. A relationship with Jesus Christ is necessary to access the Kingdom of Heaven. Get to know the Word, speak with Him and listen to Him. Take His words and commandments and be a doer of the Word. Do the will of God on earth, which means that you obey His will and His commandments and be faithful to Him.
