To Inherit the Kingdom of Heaven, We Need Heavenly Mother

Most people would like to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and that's why we believe in God. Many people have different opinions on how and who will enter Heaven with God. We can opinionate as much as we want, however, in the end, what counts is what God says. Actually, If you look in the Bible, God clearly lets us know who are the ones that will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.

Luke 16:19-30
..."The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire... 'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'

This story is not just a story, but a parable, as Jesus Christ always spoke in parables. One of the things that caught my attention is that when Lazarus died, he was carried to Abraham’s side in Heaven. However, when people die and go to Heaven, they go to God's side. Not only that but also when the rich man called out to Abraham, he said “Father Abraham”! How come Abraham is being called Father? God has said clearly that our only Father is God in Heaven:
Matt 23:9 And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.

God is our Father in Heaven, however, in this parable Abraham is being compared to Creator God. We can see that Abraham stands for God the Father, so Abraham’s family stands for God’s family and Abraham’s heir stands for God’s heir. Also, Abraham’s inheritance stands for God’s inheritance, which is the Kingdom of Heaven. Through studying about Abraham's family we can find out what kind of people will qualify and receive God’s inheritance, the Kingdom of Heaven.

In Abraham's family, there were three people that were to qualify to receive his inheritance.
First there was the slave because Abraham had no children:
Gen 15:2 But Abram said, "O Sovereign LORD, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?" And Abram said, "You have given me no children; so a servant in my household will be my heir."

Was the slave allowed to inherit his estate? God had other plans:
Gen 15:4 Then the word of the LORD came to him: "This man will not be your heir, but a son coming from your own body will be your heir."

No! God said a son coming from Abraham’s own body will be the heir. Then if you keep reading, Abraham finally had a son.
Gen 16:15 So Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son she had borne.

It is Israelite custom for the firstborn son to inherit the estate of the father. Through this, we can assume that Ishmael should inherit the estate; however, God had meant something else when He said “a son coming from your own body will be your heir”

Gen 17:18 And Abraham said to God, "If only Ishmael might live under your blessing!" Then God said, "Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.

Even though God said that a son coming from Abraham’s own body will be the heir, and even though it’s a custom for the firstborn to inherit the estate, God gave the inheritance to Isaac.
If we compare the three candidates and understand why Isaac received the inheritance, then we can also understand who are the ones that will be like Isaac and inherit God’s estate, the Kingdom of Heaven.

Apostle Paul wrote as follows:
Galatians 4:28 Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.

Those like Isaac are the children of promise, the promise of eternal life in the last days. Then, who are those like Isaac?? Well, if you read above that verse... what does it say?

Galatians 4:21-23 Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says? for it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. His son by the slave woman was born in the ordinary way; but his son by the free woman was born as a result of a promise.

Galatians 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our Mother.

Just as Isaac was born through the free woman, Sarah, and received God's physical promise, those who are born of the free woman Jerusalem, will be the ones to receive God's spiritual promise of inheriting the Kingdom of Heaven.

Those who have Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother are the children of promise Apostle Paul spoke about. Let's all be children of the free woman, Heavenly Jerusalem, so that we can inherit eternal life in these last days. If you want to be children of promise like us, then come study and you will understand all truths brought by Christ AhnSahngHong.
