Teaching: Not everyone who says to Me Lord, Lord will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in Heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, Lord did we not prophesy in your name & in your name drive out demons, & in your name perform many miracles? Then I will tell them plainly: I never knew you.

Otherwise we are wasting our time in the churches. At the end of our earthly lives we will be thrown into the pit of hell. Food for thought. Heaven Rules.

If our hearts are not changed, following God's rules will be unpleasant & difficult. We will rebel against being told how to live the Christian way. The Holy Spirit, however, gives us new desires, helping us wanting to obey God. With new hearts, hearts of flesh & not hearts of stone, we will find that serving God is our greatest joy. Under God's new covenant, God's law is inside us & not outside, ie, on a tablet of stone. No, it's written in our hearts. It is no longer an external set of rules & principles. The Holy Spirit reminds us of Christ's words, activates our ...
