Jesus said, "only those who do the will of my father will enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 7:21). Will you answer the calling?

Do you know that every waking moment of your life, you are being tested? Every decision you make will determine whether or not you will make into heaven. There are some who believe everyone will go to heaven- absolutely false. The truth is: just as hell is reserved for those who do evil things, heaven is reserved for those who do good. Also, it's not about the magnitude of the act. Jesus said in Matt. 10:42 -

"If anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.”

Think about what you can do for a child or a homeless person, or even the elderly. Christmas is coming up and I'm sure there are some less fortunate children out there you can do something nice for. If you have the financial means, please do what you can to help someone out. Christ commanded us to be charitable (Matt. 19:21).

What's the meaning of The Kingdom in Bible context.

The scripture above leads me to believe there's a difference between "The Kingdom and "Heaven" as it says we're already in the Kingdom though the blood of Jesus.

@karysma Right, there's "The Kingdom" and then there's "The Kingdom of Heaven," Or "The Kingdom of God." There are kingdoms on earth - Matthew 4:8 . We are in the Kingdom of Jesus - his Church. Although our earthly bodies are here, our spiritual bodies are destined to reign with Christ. The bible doesn't go into much detail about the afterlife, but we do know there is another realm that we will ascend to after death.

@RocktheHouse Through the sacrifice of the lamb the authority was restored back to man therefore we have dominion on this Earth Luke 10:19. To answer your question I agree that not everyone will attend the wedding feast. The parable of the 10 virgins clearly states that.
