PROSTITUTES WILL ENTER HEAVEN


 By Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi
        Matt 21:31” Which of the two did the will of the father? They replied, The first one. Jesus said to them, Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the harlots will get into the kingdom of heaven before you.” AMP
Luke 13:23-24 "Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able to enter."
      Many self-righteous folks will seek to enter the kingdom of God and shall not be able to enter not because God refused salvation to anyone.  "God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Pet. 3:9)."The grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men . . ." (Titus. 2:11) It is the will of God for all of mankind to be saved. Jesus said the process of salvation is so easy that commercial sex workers would have a fair chance just as much as anyone else. Sinners may suffer the harmful consequences of sin on earth but escape the eternal consequences through faith in Christ. Self-righteous folks will fail to enter heaven because they think salvation is by self-effort. Many religious folks will miss heaven. 
       Our loyalty to God will always demand work or some kind of effort however , non of it is sufficient to gain salvation. Salvation is a free gift from God (Rom. 5:15);and we have to consciously resist any doctrine that tends to make it look otherwise ; this is what spiritual warfare is all about and its a good fight in which we are guaranteed overwhelming victory (1 Tim. 6:12) No matter what happens, we win.  Faith in Jesus' goodness is what determines our salvation .Our good deeds only benefits us and our communities;they are  of no relevance to our salvation (Gal 2:16).
     We do not have to live our lives trying to please God with the hope to enter heaven. Doing this exposes us to Satan’s antics who constantly tries to destroy our faith by always reminding  us of our shortcomings. We have received the gift of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ and should earnestly hold on to this truth . This involves a life commitment to simply love your neighbor as yourself.
  Extreme  devotion to religious activities will not lead to salvation. Satan participates in religious gatherings too (Job1:6). Demon possessed persons preach about God, prophesy and work miracles too (Acts16:17) . But salvation is having a personal relationship with the Lord , it is not transferable . "You must be born again and those who hunger and thirst after righteousness shall be filled (Mt. 5:6). "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Regardless of what you have done, you have an unlimited access to God and he will never reject the repentant sinner.
 Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me for my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation, I receive him as lord and saviour and receive grace to overcome every satanic stronghold in the name of Jesus .Amen.
