God gives the sound wisdom for the saints, to understand righteousness, judgement, equity, every good path.




Proverbs 2:7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.




Jesus Christ came to earth preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, as did His Apostle Paul the same. Matthew 4:23. Acts 20:25. ( Apostle Paul made it clear that nobody who does unrighteousness inherits the Kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9.)


Jesus taught how except our righteousness exceeds the Pharisees and scribes, we do not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

It is given to the disciples of Christ, to know the mysteries of Heaven, and the disciples who had, would be given, but to the ones not given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, what they have, is taken away.






Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.





This is taking heed how we hear, as they who have ( to the disciples it was given to know) it shall be given, and they who have not ( who are not given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom) it is taken away, what they have.

As this is the Kingdom of God, the seed is cast into the ground ( the understanding given to the disciples) and the seed springs and grows and they do not know how, for the earth brings forth fruit of itself.

Jesus also shows in Mark 9:50, how salt is good, until it loses its saltiness ( those who have not belief in the Kingdom, it is taken what they have, they lose their saltiness.)

Then just as the earth brings forth fruit of herself, 9 as to he who has, it is given) we are to have salt in ourselves, to have peace one with another.






Mark 4:24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

Mark 9:50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.





Jesus showing that God clothes the fields, answers in faith how God will cloth us, how the Lord knows what we have need of, ( and not to seek the Kingdom of God this way, as unbelievers seek.)

But to seek the Kingdom of God, is to first seek His righteousness, trusting God ( who preached in faith) would add those things to us, letting tomorrow take thought for itself.

To not begin seeking Gods Kingdom with seeking what we shall eat or drink, ( being of a doubtful mind against what Christ preached)

But rather to seek the Kingdom of God, ( as Apostle Paul also further confirms the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink, which all doubters, all seek, but it is instead, righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Romans 14:17.)

The little flock is to not fear, but to sell what they have, give alms, providing themselves a treasure in the Heavens that fails not ( charity never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:8.) this is where no corruption is, and where your heart is, is where your treasure will be.






Matthew 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.


Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.


Luke 12:29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.


Luke 12:31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.





Jesus pouts forth parables of the Kingdom of Heaven, that it is compared to the least of all seeds, then grows to become a tree. ( begins with nothing, to grow to everything/ trusting in God, not seeking as unbelievers seek.)

Because again the Kingdom of Heaven is as treasure hid, when a man finds this ( faith) for the joy of it ( the Kingdom of God is joy in the Holy Ghost.) he sells all that he has, and buys this field instead of the earthly things the Gentiles seek.

Again the Kingdom is considered as a merchant man seeking good pearls, and when he found one pearl of great price, sold all he had and bought that one pearl. ( to not be of doubtful mind, but to trust God gives us the Kingdom that fades not, instead of this life that fades away.

Every scribe instructed ( given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven.) unto the Kingdom of Heaven, is a man householder, bringing forth out of his treasure, things NEW AND OLD. ( provide bags that wax not old, a treasure in the Heavens that fails not.)






Matthew 13:31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

Matthew 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Matthew 13:52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
 
Jesus preached how to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, first we be converted and become as little children.

Humbling ourselves as a little child, to be great in the Kingdom of Heaven. ( the mustard seed is the least, to become a tree.) and receiving as a little child, is to receive Christ.

Offending the little ones who believe in Christ is not wise, then if we have offences in us ( against the Kingdom of Heaven.) it is better we cut them out, to be able to enter into life.

If our eye offends us ( what we see of this world, causing us to offend against the Kingdom of Heaven.) we pluck that out, then it is better for us to enter into the Kingdom of God, with the offence removed, than having both of our eyes, ( trusting in what we see of this world.) to be cast into hell.





Matthew 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Matthew 18:8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.


Mark 9:42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

Mark 9:47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.





Christ tells us verily, that whosoever will not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, will not enter into it.

Jesus does explain what this means, all who are not as a little child, are all they who have riches, ( they doubt the Kingdom of Heaven will be given to them.) they that trust in riches ( they do not trust in God.) have it hard for them to enter into the Kingdom of God. ( so hard that a camel can pass through an eye of a needle before they can pass into the Kingdom.)






Mark 10:15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

Mark 10:23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.


Matthew 19:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.





Jesus again explaining the trust part, shows how if a man wants to go home first to bid farewell to those at his house, this is the man trying to put his hand to the plough and looking back. ( they cannot be fit for the Kingdom of God that way.)

The Pharisees demanded when the Kingdom of God should come, Jesus answered them how it wont be with observation for them. ( Jesus shows it wont be with anyone saying where it is also, as behold, the Kingdom of God is within.)

Then whosoever does not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter in.

The rich man was very sorrowful at the thought of selling and giving all away. Jesus then says how hardly it is for them that have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God.

Jesus also shows how they leave houses, parents, brothers, wife, children, for the Kingdom of God';s sake. ( in trust that God will give the Kingdom, and manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.)






Luke 9:61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Luke 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Luke 18:17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

Luke 18:24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

Luke 18:29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.




Jesus answered how except a man be born again, ( except we become as little children, humbled, we cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.) he cannot see the Kingdom of God.

Except a man be born o water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.

Apostle Paul confirmed the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation, enter into the Kingdom of God.





John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
 
Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Jn 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

2 pet 1:11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
