The Key to the Kingdom | 3.17.24

A sermon from Matthew 23:13-15

1. The Defense (vs. 14)
2. The Door (vs. 13)
3. The Disciple (vs. 15)

Gospel Connection

It is not possible for mankind to obtain eternal life on their own works, merit and efforts. Jesus makes that truth clear in Matthew 19:16-26.

"But God, who is rich in mercy (Ephesians 2:4-5), has demonstrated His love for us in Christ Jesus." (Romans 5:8)

Entrance into the kingdom of heaven is only found in Jesus Christ (John 14:6).

“And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12) (ESV)

Application

With whom will you share the key to entering the kingdom of heaven?  When will you do it?
