12.15: How Sin and Evil have Infiltrated the Kingdom of God -- the Church

Life, death, heaven and hell. You don’t have a  choice in being born, but you do have a choice in where you end up after  you die. And, you will die. Everything on earth dies. Tragedy happens.  Were people killed because they were sinners? No. Do people die because  they do something stupid? Yes. We make choices in life and entering the  Kingdom of God (or Heaven, same thing) is our choice. First, be aware that the Kingdom of God started here on earth when  the church age, that we’re in right now, started. That was in Acts 2.  In two parables that Jesus tells in this chapter, He’s describing the  church and how evil has infiltrated it. There’s a video at the bottom  that explains in more detail what’s going on. Let’s dig in… Keep reading in my blog and check out the video at the bottom to dig deeper into what Jesus is trying to tell us.... If you want to reap all the benefits of salvation including the 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven then… Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.  Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly… “Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus' name, Amen.” Jesus is coming back soon! Are you ready?
