Lovers of God

Summary

Everyone has potential access to the kingdom of heaven – you don’t have to be born in any particular family or race in order to get in.

God resides in the kingdom of heaven. To get in, you have to be sinless, because sin cannot remain in God’s presence. But you have to humbly acknowledge reality, which is that you are not sinless and so you cannot get in on your own merit. If you think that you are rich enough and that you don’t need anything from God, then you will not get in. If you love God greatly and want to be with Him, then since He is in the kingdom of heaven therefore you too greatly desire to get in. So you need to be born again – you need to come to the sinless state you were when you were born. You get born again in the way God specified.
