Who will enter the Kingdom of Heaven?

It is a most important question, what must be done to be part of the kingdom of Heaven and have eternal life?

Looking forward to discuss with anyone who is interested.

Blessings.
2Ti 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Rom 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Rom 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

2Ti 3:4 lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

1Co 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

There are millions of people who claim Christianity but they hold unto sin, and believe they are alright with God making an excuse that they cannot beat sin, or sin does not affect their relationship with God.

These people will not be with Jesus.

Only by allowing the Spirit to lead you abstaining from sin can you be with Jesus.

The Bible says a Spirit led life is not under the law which means their sins are forgiven, and they are not sinning for they are showing the ways of the Spirit, and not the flesh, therefore the law cannot touch them for prosecution.

We don't to DO anything; we need to receive Jesus' victory of the new birth through trust in his death and resurrection to enter the Father's kingdom and church.

And there we discover the problem. The workless church that sits on their hands & expects the leadership to cater to them.

To answer the question of the Op, I'd say more people than I would think, because God's grace is greater than all my sins.

The Father has straightforwardly made His will known through what He has commanded in His law (Psalms 40:8), and in Matthew 7:21-23, Jesus said that only those who do the will of the Father will enter the Kingdom of Heaven in contrast with saying that he will tell those who are workers of lawlessness to depart from him because he never knew them. This is also way Jesus said that the way to enter eternal life is by obeying God's commandments (Matthew 19:17, Luke 10:25-28).

1 John 2:17 KJV
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but
he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

So, what is the Will of God?
Build His Church.

Matthew 16:18 KJV
…. I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

1 Corinthians 3:9 KJV
For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

Matthew 9:37-38 KJV
Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but
the labourers are few;
[38] Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
