Let me propose a simple reality. The Kingdom of heaven is here, it is within you.
Walk away from it and you walk away from eternity. So why would you walk away from Jesus?
How can people claim so much, eternity, when their believers treat the Lord so lightly. Is it a joke?
It is like saying you will go to a wedding, and then not bothering to get dressed or travelling, getting presents, then finally trying to get in, when everything has been given up.
He said to them, “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’
“But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’
“Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’
“But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!’
Luke 13:23-27
How is it the words "Make every effort to enter through the narrow door" means do nothing just maybe believe at some point in your life, that is enough to be worthy of eternity. Like a lottery ticket if you get it sometime you have entered the Kingdom.
Nope. Walk in the Kingdom here today, or find yourself shut out when the door closes.
