(V) 8.1.The Kingdom of God has come!

Christians have long ago (each in their own conception-baptism by the Holy Spirit, in Marriage with Christ) united-met with the Lord Jesus, and therefore can no longer die the second death, eternal perdition in the Waters of the Flood, the Last Judgment. Be vigilant! Repent, enter the Kingdom of God (which has already come!) by the narrow path and through the narrow gate (self-denial, bearing the cross, following Christ by diligently keeping all the commandments of God)! (The Church every day (regardless of the feast day, missionary celebration: Christmas, Epiphany, Resurrection, Ascension, Transfiguration, Exaltation of the Holy Cross…, a feast of the Theotokos or a memory of the Saints) celebrates its Resurrection (= Ascension = Pentecost) in the Lord Jesus Christ, thus proclaiming that the Kingdom of God has come, that Christians are already in It, already here partaking of Its Bliss and calling the whole world to repentance: so that people may repent, be catechized, and enter the Kingdom of God – be baptized into Christ (by the Holy Spirit); first becoming Christ’s slaves, to gain humility, poverty of spirit, and when they humble themselves properly, the Lord will take them as His Bride-Wife and unite them with Himself with the bonds of Marriage by the Holy Spirit)!

Therefore, for a person to enter into possession of the Bequeathed Inheritance (to unite with Christ, to be filled with the Holy Spirit), one must repent, believe in Jesus Christ – to become capable of receiving the Holy Spirit, to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is with you, and as soon as you are announced, you will be ready, able to receive Him, He will be in you (see John 14:16-17). Therefore, to this day and forever (as long as at least one hypostasis remains outside the Kingdom of God), the call-plea of God-Love sounds: “Repent! Believe (trust) in the Gospel – the Kingdom of God, which God-Love has bequeathed-given to every hypostasis, person, has come!” The Kingdom of God has already been given to every hypostasis: “Behold, I stand at the door of every person’s heart and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door (by catechism, fervent repentance), I will come in to him in the fullness of the Holy Spirit, and dine with him, and he with Me in the Kingdom of God, which pours into the heart of the catechumen by the Holy Spirit, during My entry (when a person is baptized in the Holy Spirit)” (see Rev. 3:20). Therefore, the call sounds: take, receive the Gift – the Holy Spirit (the Lord Jesus Christ, the Kingdom of God). At the Last Supper, no one partook of the Body and Blood of Christ (possessed the Inheritance, partook of It), the Covenant became effective only after the death and Resurrection of the Testator. And now (and forever) the invitation to the Supper of the Kingdom of God (Eucharist) has been received by all (absolutely all). All are called, but few are chosen – those who respond to the invitation and come to the Supper; whom the Bridegroom, before entering the Upper Room, adopts to the Father, clothes in wedding garments (baptizes by the Holy Spirit, clothes in Christ) (see Matt. 22:1-14, Luke 14:16-24). Therefore, it is said (Luke 14:26-28): whoever has not renounced himself, does not carry his cross, has not given all his possessions to charity, and does not follow Jesus Christ, cannot be a partaker of the Eucharist, a disciple of Christ.

Once again, we remind you: the Kingdom of God (which has already come) is bequeathed to all people, but to enter into possession of It, each person must go through the adoption procedure – be clothed in wedding garments (be clothed in Christ by the Holy Spirit), be baptized by the Holy Spirit. And this procedure (adoption) includes: self-denial, bearing the cross, following Christ (i.e., repentance). Do not deceive yourselves: none of the unprepared, unannounced will taste the Lord’s Supper (no matter how many times they participate in the rite of the Eucharist, that is, “partake” of the Bread and Wine; no matter how much they deceive themselves that they ate and drank before the Lord, that is, were participants-partakers of the rite of the Eucharist (and not the Sacrament of the Eucharist)), and such dreamers are doomed to hear the verdict: “I never knew you!” And those (unprepared) will go to eternal torment to prepare for baptism by the Holy Spirit. There is no other way (than the narrow one) and no other gates (except the narrow ones) – only repentance-catechism (here or there, beyond the grave).

If it were possible to enter the Kingdom of God (that is, to humble oneself, to believe in Jesus Christ) without labors, without sufferings, then all people would have long been in the Kingdom of God, in Bliss. But God-Love cannot save us without us! If it were possible to enter into Life without suffering, sorrows, labors of long-suffering, then why did the saints suffer so greatly here, and why is there suffering and sorrow at all? God is Love! Therefore, there will be no mechanical amnesty, no forgiveness – God has already forgiven everyone, done everything for everyone, and continues to do-serve every person to this day! So, you are already forgiven, divinely loved, and at the same time, being those loved by God, you suffer, you are in hell! The cause of your unhappiness, hellish torment is not in God-Love, but in you, so do not deceive yourselves (that God-Love will arrange everything; listen to what the Church says: everything has already been arranged, and you are still in hell?!), but begin to repent! God is Love, therefore He cannot save us without our faith-trust in Him!
