Enter the kingdom of God

Scriptures that pertain to inheriting the kingdom, which also mentions “entering the kingdom of God”.



21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, 22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.” Acts 14:21-22

  • exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.”
A couple of things about this verse I would like to point out.


First of all, Paul exhorted these disciples of Jesus Christ that they must through many tribulations, enter the kingdom of God, which refers to some time in the future, since it is by these very tribulations, that they would experience throughout their life, are the means by which they will enter the kingdom of God.

Paul is plainly referring to that Day, when we stand before the Lord to be Judged according to our deeds, and hear one of two things from Him:

  1. ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
  2. ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

Jesus this to His disciples.

And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire— Mark 9:47

  • It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire—
