The Path to the Kingdom of Heaven and Eternal Life

Main References: Jn 8:51-59, Jn 11:21-27, Jn 6:51-57, Jn 5:39-40

Jesus said that if a person believes his word, he will not die but live forever, and the disciples also said they believed in living forever. Even if the devil kills the body (flesh), he cannot kill the [spirit and] soul. However, it was said that God can throw the body (flesh), spirit, and soul into the fire of hell to be destroyed (Mt 10:28).

All people in the world have faced death due to the price of sin. So, through what and how will Jesus be able to let us live forever and not die? What good is it for one to gain the whole world but to lose one’s life? (Mt 16:26)

If eternal life really exists just as Jesus said, then is there a reason to not believe in his words? Also, Jesus brought the dead back to life, and Jesus himself rose again (came back to life).

Let us look at the process in which a small egg becomes a butterfly (silkworm moth) and flies away. A small egg becomes a larva. This small larva can only eat mulberry leaves to grow. If it eats other leaves, it will die. Once this small larva grows to the size of a finger, it no longer eats mulberry leaves. The body becomes smaller and turns yellow, and it builds a house (cocoon) to live in. Once the house is all built, the larva transforms into a pupa. After three days, as the pupa transforms into a butterfly (silkworm moth), it breaks through and emerges from its own house (cocoon). And it moves its body and thoroughly tries to move around. Once it is able to fully move its body, it flies away. This is the process in which a small egg becomes a butterfly. There are many dangers even during this process.

In the same way, the human body also starts out as a small egg, and only by going through the process of many changes can it come out into this world. In this way, one must be transformed through the word of truth in order to resurrect. This is the path to the kingdom of heaven and eternal life.

Once the egg, that is, the seed, is sown, it sprouts, grows, and bears fruit, which when ripe, is harvested and sealed. Once they pass the graduation test to check [if they’ve been] sealed, they become part of the 12 tribes. Also, they need to overcome in the war, [take part in] the marriage of spirit and flesh (Rv 19), and become the first to resurrect (Rv 20) in order to become a person completely qualified to enter the kingdom of heaven. Without going through this kind of process, one cannot go and live in the kingdom of heaven. It is only by being created according to the promise.

A believer must always consider (think about), “Who am I according to the Bible? Have I been created according to the Bible?“ And [we] must be created according to the prophecies of the Bible.
