<p>"Forcing" means entering by any means necessary, even if it requires force or effort. If something blocks the way, you push it aside with strength to enter—into the kingdom of God. The kingdom of heaven is one that is taken by force. We give everything we have and use our entire being, from head to toe, to enter heaven. Without committing everything we have, we cannot enter heaven.</p><p> </p><p>With the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets, the kingdom of heaven has arrived, and we enter heaven by keeping the Law and the Prophets. The Law commands us what to do; not doing it is sin. The Law also tells us what not to do; doing what is forbidden is sin.</p><p> </p><p>Prophecy means that every stroke of the Law will be fulfilled. No one fully knows the Law, nor can anyone perfectly keep it. Without the gospel of the kingdom of God, no one can enter.</p><p> </p><p><i>Excerpt from the sermon by Pastor Lee, Oct 23, 2024.</i></p><p><i>Luke 16:16-18</i></p>
