HEAVEN IS A PRIVILEGE, NOT A RIGHT.
Readers, do you know that living in heaven is a privilege, and not a right? Salvation is a privilege and not a right. Even when we are already saved and living in heaven God can still evict us from heaven. Do you know that? Look at what happened to Lucifer and millions of his angels. God kicked them all out from heaven. They were already saved. Do you know why God kicked them out from heaven? Don’t be surprised when you read my answer. Because Lucifer and his angels did not follow the will of God. They only know their own will. They think that God is all "love". Yes, Lucifer and his angels, Adam and Eve, and the majority of Christians of today think that God is all "love". Do you know why God kicked Adam and Eve out from the garden of Eden? Because they don't love God. Why would God keep anyone who doesn't love Him. Why? Jesus said if we love Him do what He told us to do. What did Adam and Eve do? They did what the serpent told them to do. They ignored God. Here's is what God said at the time, Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever" therefore the LORD God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken. So He drove out the man, and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.” Genesis 3:22-24. God kicked them out of the garden of Eden so they could no longer eat the fruit from the tree of life and live forever. They lost their citizenship of the garden of Eden. They lost eternal life. God can and will take salvation or eternal life away from anybody, now or later, because eternal life is not a right. Eternal life is a privilege!
Brothers and Sisters, do you know that love is not a one-way street? Love is a two-way street. Jesus said, "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 7:12.
The reason why God did not beat some of us to a pulp for sleeping with somebody’s husband or wife is because He is patient. That's all! He wants us to repent. That’s all I know. Many Christians think that God loves us because He died for us? Did He? Do you know why Jesus was crucified? The Jews crucified Jesus because they did not recognize Jesus as their Messiah. Instead, they see Jesus as a threat to their religion. That was the real reason why Jesus was crucified. What He said was the reason why the Jews crucified Him, and not because of what Jesus did. And Jesus knew that His crucifixion was a mistake. That's why while hanging on the cross Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." Luke 23:34. Jesus had forgiven the Jews who crucified Him.
Readers, here is my evidence that love is a two-way street. It comes straight from Jesus. "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?" Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.” John 14:15,21-24.
Readers, Lucifer, and his angels also lost eternal life because they disobeyed the will of God.
"Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. "Many will say to Me in that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' "And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'” Matthew 7:21-23. These men/women of great faith also disobeyed the will of God. Jesus sends them straight to hell, and no detour.
Readers, let us not repeat the same mistake that Lucifer and these men/women of great faith made - they disobeyed the will of God. Consequently, they lost eternal life. But we know the will of God. They are found in His commandments. And we should obey them.

Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, 'The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.'" Matthew 23:1-3.
Jesus wants us to do everything that the teachers of the law teach about the law that God gave to the prophet Moses. Why? Because they are God's words. They are God's commandments. They are God's will.
Heaven is a privilege, not a right. God can still evict us from heaven or the new earth if we disobey Him. The password to heaven is "obey".
