What does the Bible say about enter the kingdom of god?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that entering God’s kingdom is possible only by his gracious work, received through repentant faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus says we must be born again, born of water and the Spirit, to see and enter the kingdom (John 3:3, 5). He calls sinners to repent and believe the gospel because the kingdom has drawn near (Mark 1:15). This new birth produces a childlike dependence on God, not self-righteous striving (Mark 10:15; Luke 18:17). Those who persist in unrepentant sin will not inherit the kingdom, yet Christ transforms his people by his Spirit (Galatians 5:19-21; 1 Corinthians 6:9). Believers enter amid trials and will finally receive incorruptible resurrection life (Acts 14:22; 1 Corinthians 15:50-52).
