Introduction
Beloved, it is sobering to consider the words of Jesus in Matthew 7:21, “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.” These words challenge us to look beyond outward religiosity and focus on the core of our faith: doing God’s will.

Let us explore this truth together, not as a critique of going to church but as a call to live lives that truly please God.

Discussion Questions

1. What does it mean to do the will of the Father?

Jesus summarized God’s will in Mark 12:30-31: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself.” It is not about rituals or appearances but about living in love and obedience to God’s commandments.

2. Does going to church guarantee entry into the Kingdom?

While attending church is good for fellowship and spiritual growth (Hebrews 10:25), Jesus makes it clear that it is not the ultimate qualification for heaven. The Pharisees were devout in their religious practices, yet Jesus said, “Woe to you...you shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces” (Matthew 23:13). True faith goes beyond rituals; it requires a heart surrendered to God.

3. Can someone who never goes to church enter heaven?

Consider the parable of the two sons in Matthew 21:28-32. One son initially refused to obey his father but later repented and did his will. Jesus concluded, “The tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you.” It is not about where you are but whether you respond to God’s call with a willing heart.

Key Points to Reflect On

1. God Desires Obedience, Not Pride

1 Samuel 15:22: “To obey is better than sacrifice.” Pride in religious affiliation or personal works does not impress God. A humble and obedient heart does.

2. Faith Without Action is Dead

James 2:26: “As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.” Pleasing God requires us to live out our faith in how we treat others and honor Him.

3. The Kingdom is for All Who Believe and Obey

Whether someone finds God in a church, on the streets, or in their personal struggles, what matters is their response to Him. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).

Interactive Reflection

How can you do God’s will in your daily life?

Are there areas where you are relying on appearances rather than true obedience to God?

How can you share God’s love with someone who may never step into a church?

Conclusion
Beloved, let us not be deceived by religion or church-pride. Jesus is calling us to a deeper walk—one rooted in obedience and love for God and others. , the Kingdom of Heaven is for those who do the will of the Father. Whether you are in a church pew or out in the world, let your life reflect His glory.

“Blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it” (Luke 11:28). Let us strive to be among them.

May God help us to live lives pleasing to Him. Amen!

Entering into the Kingdom of the heavens and entering into the God's Kingdom are two different things sir.

MaxInDHouse:

It depends on the church you're attending, if it's the church of Satan then i don't have any idea but if you're talking of the church of Christ then you must adhere strictly to rules guiding Christianity.
This is what Christianity says:

Is there anyone sick among you? Let him call the elders of the congregation to him, and let them pray over him, applying oil to him in the name of Jehovah. And the prayer of faith will make the sick one well, and Jehovah will raise him up. Also, if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. James 5:14-15

You need the elders to gather around you and pray, the presence of two or three elders of the church automatically means the presence of Christ Jesus {Matthew 18:20} that's the only way you can be assured of God's approval!

Make I confess to elder wey I know say dey lamba babes abi?

Jokerman:


Jesus went to help to preach and remohe many people from hell.

Hell (the abyss of fire) is the abode of Devil and the fallen angels. Any person who rejects the power of salvation Jesus Christ offers is heading there to be with his master Satan.

Lake of Fire is worse than hell, because Satan, his angels, etc, will be more tortured

Where is this in the Bible sir?

MaxInDHouse:


No you're misquoting him this is what he said:



So Job was praying to go and REST in a PLACE OF BANISHMENT FROM THE REACH OF THE MERCIES OF GOD TO ALL SOULS WHO HAS BEEN CORRUPTED WHILE THEY WERE ON EARTH AS A LIVING SOUL.

Do you get it now?

Hell fire and lake of fire. I still don't understand it. By your analogy, why did Jesus go to hell? And none of you has quoted any scripture to back these up.

Westerhoffe:



There is a difference between Hell and The Lake of Fire.

In Hell:
Hell is a place of banishment from the reach of the mercies of GOD to all souls who have been corrupted while they were on earth as a living soul.

GOD does not oversee the tortures of Hell because the demons in Hell, the fallen angels banished into Hell are those tormenting the images of the GOD who banished them therein.

It is like being sent as a newbie to a prison filled with hardened criminals who already have resentments against your dad for stripping them of their honor and glory and locking them up there.

They have control over the human souls there, while the human souls have no power over them whatsoever.
Speaking from personal experiences.

The Lake of Fire:
The Lake of Fire is much more punitive compared to Hell, as the Lake of Fire will swallow up both death and Hell and all creatures GOD will not need in the New Earth.

It is a furnace of eternal consumption and destruction.

So, Lake of fire is Hell 2.0.

Hmmm! So, if hell is a place of torment, what did Jesus go to do there?
Why did the righteous man job prayed to go there and REST until God will call him?

Lol, somebody is bagging hat-tricks at 39 and some people are celebrating assists. Delusion pro max

EreluRoz:


Do you people actually make money from this crypto true true?

I don't even take anyone into this crypto thing seriously, it's same as betnaija gambling to me and if not why is it only men that do the crypto thing and the very few women involved are tomboy?

Its so sad that at the time and age with still have misinformed lots like you.

Have you taken time to actually understand cryptocurrency and how it works or you just concluded based on what you heard blocked headed f00ls say?

Stop dressing like prostitutes. We will just play with you and dump you. We will marry well dressed ladies.

Olorun ooo. This is shameless. We caught a thief, you are asking for a second chance for her.

Fake themes that never happen. Just to enslave the gullible

He wants her out. Wicked man.

But women should also learn to take care of themselves, we know you have to give birth and all but you can't be looking like this and expects your husband not to vent his frustration one day.

outoftheworld:


Use your tongue count your teeth boy.
Are you not ashamed of yourself working as a cleaner in the bank?

I actually meant you should hustle and have a good source of income first.
I'm far older than you, that's why I'm advising you.
I learnt through experience, it's hard to get a nice girl to date you and remain faithful if you can't take care of her. Channel your energy and attention on standing up yourself first, girls can only weigh you down. Besides you can't keep a girl you can't take care of.
If you are doing well financially you can have any girl you want.

May God forgive you. So a bank cleaner is not a human? If they are not there, who cleans the bank? You àbi?

We hate the truth.

Victor can grow if he wants but he's lacking technically. He still plays like he's playing monkey Post.

They tell you it's a sin if you don't pay tithe.

It's a big lie.

Show me one scripture where it was said that it's a sin not to pay tithe.

Who dey spend the tithe?

If they say they use it to take care of the needy, can't you do that yourself?

Who is looking rich?
Who is looking poor?


They give you annointing oil to protect you while they are their family rides in bulletproof cars and guided by heavily armed security.

Wake up.

Jesus Christ is the only link between you and God. Not your pastor.

Tithe is a scam. Plus you're not going to any heaven. Even the scripture you quoted never says you're going to heaven.

Heaven to go and do what? Even your pastors don't want to go.

AyoNews:
Do advice her. Either from experience or witness

Dey playyyyy!

Someone in Alausa approved these structures to be constructed.

Someone did the survey.

Someone sold the lands.

Somebody must pay or somebody's generation will be wiped.

bamvik:
I need an illustration or an example of these age from bible scholars.

"Psalms 23:5: "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies"

First, if you stop reading Kjv, your problem is half solved.

Preparing a Table means giving someone plenty food.

In the presence of enemies does not mean you're eating the food in their presence but that despite the wickedness done towards you, God is still there for you, providing for you and protecting you while your enemies watch and can't do nothing.

Gbadugbakun:
I was discussing with a friend and I asked him this question and he told me sometimes he wears his own for 4 or 5 days before washing. So guys how long do you think a guy should wear his boxers before washing it.

Mods you can put it on the front page.

I can wear 3 in a day. If I baff 3 times a day, I wear 3. Anytime I sweat, I change am.
