Only those who prepare enter heaven <YoMedicine>Matthew 13:44-50 >2026.10.18 <Sunday> Pastor Kim Ho-il, Osaka Sarang Church.   You must know that only those who prepare enter heaven. Living a life of faith is preparing to enter heaven and to receive the crown. However, among those who believe, there are still some who do not believe that heaven and hell exist. Also, those who merely believe that heaven and hell exist but prepare to enter that realm are few. Also, few people live their faith merely to enter heaven and receive the crown, while most focus only on that. 1> Jesus used three metaphors for the kingdom of heaven. <Matthew 13:44-50>1 Like treasure hidden in a field. 2>Like a fine pearl. 3> I said it is like a net used for catching fish. The important point was that the first and second are precious places. How precious it is—that it is so valuable that one would sell everything to buy it. However, the third was compared to a net used for catching fish. Why did Jesus compare the kingdom of heaven to a net. You must evangelize many people and lead them to heaven. Furthermore, the Apostle John received many revelations and wrote the Book of Revelation.<Revelation 22:18-21> emphasized that those who ignore this prophetic word will not enter the kingdom of heaven. And in Revelation 20, about the millennial kingdom. Chapter 21 records about the kingdom of heaven. The Kingdom of a Thousand Years is the kingdom in which Jesus reigns as king for a thousand years.<Revelation 20:1-6> When Jesus returns, angels will descend from heaven, capture the devil, bind him for a thousand years, throw him into the abyss, and seal him so that he will not deceive the nations for a thousand years. And the thousand-year kingdom begins. Those who enter the Thousand Kingdoms are 1> the testimony of Jesus. In other words, Jesus must declare them righteous. 2>Those who were martyred to keep God's word. 3> With those who do not worship idols. 4>Those who do not receive the barcode symbolizing 666 on their foreheads and hands will enter the Thousand Kingdoms. Therefore, blessed are those who participate in the first resurrection and enter the millennial kingdom. They do not go to hell, the second death. And when a thousand years are spent, heaven descends upon this earth. <Revelation 21:2-8> The kingdom of heaven is coming down from God from heaven, beautiful as a bride prepared for her groom, where God washes away tears, and there is no death, mourning, wailing, or pain. 2> To enter heaven, we must love God and love our neighbors. You must also fear those you should fear.<Matthew 10:28-33> Do not fear the devil, who can kill the body but not the soul; rather, fear the God who has the power to send both body and soul into hell. Also, if a person confesses Jesus before others, Jesus will confess that person before God; but if a person denies Jesus before others, Jesus will deny that person before God. Therefore, one must be finally declared righteous by Jesus to enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, we must be those who confess that we believe in Jesus, anytime and wherever. 3> Do not be content with entering heaven; be those who receive rewards there.<Matthew 18:1-5>Unless you become like little children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. He emphasized that one must be humble like a child to enter heaven and become great. Do not be proud; be humble. 4>Jesus said that He judges people by their fruit. Good trees bear good fruit, and bad trees bear bad fruit. If you bear bad fruit, you will not enter heaven. Good fruit is the fruit of the Spirit. 5>Only those who prepare enter heaven. What should I prepare. In Matthew 25, ten virgins prepared to meet their bridegroom and enter the kingdom of heaven. You must prepare your back and oil for <being filled with the Holy Spirit>.
