Can All Those People Who Labor and Work for God Enter the Kingdom of Heaven?

 

I watched the movie “BAPTISM BY FIRE”. Due to believing in God and sharing the gospel, the main protagonist was arrested by CCP and has been sentenced to seven years. After being released, he persists in sharing the gospel and expending himself for God. He thinks those who run around, labor and expend themselves for God are people who are obedient to God and do the will of God, such people can earn God’s praise and be taken up to the kingdom of heaven. However, when his son gets a serious illness and is in danger, he loses his original faith to God. He begins to complain against God and reason with Him: He has expended himself for God to such that extent, then why does his price not bring peace to his family?

Through the revelation of God’s word, he comes to realize that he has been trading with God through his laboring and expending himself, in this way, he attempts to gain God’s grace and blessings. Such can’t be counted as true obedience to God!

Dear friends, do you want to know why he finally has such an extremely different understanding? What has the main protagonist experienced? Let’s watch this movie together!

 

Christian Movies True Stories "Baptism by Fire"  (English Dubbed)

 

The Lord Jesus said, "Not every one that said to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of My Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 7:21). Just how should we pursue to become people who do the heavenly Father's will and are obedient to God, so that God will bring us into the kingdom of heaven?

Christian Song Enze was arrested and imprisoned by the Chinese Communist Party for seven years because he believed in God and preached God's gospel. After his release, he insisted on continuing to expend for God by spreading the gospel. He feels that by forsaking his home and career, laboring, and working, he is doing God's will, and that he is certain to gain God's approval and be brought into the kingdom of heaven by God. Later, Song Enze's son becomes seriously ill, putting his life in danger, over which Song Enze bears a grudge against God, attempts to argue with God, and even loses his desire to do his duties. Through what is shown to him by the facts of his situation and the revelations in God's word, Song Enze realizes that his many years of forsaking and expending for God were originally an attempt to barter for God's grace and blessings, and that he is not someone obedient to God. Finally, through seeking, he finally learns how to pursue to escape his corrupt dispositions, become truly obedient to God, and be saved by God.
