“Who may ascend into the hill of YHWH? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from YHWH and righteousness from the Elohim of his salvation.” — Psalm 24 : 3 – 5
YHWH Himself declares that entry into His holy presence, the mountain of His Kingdom, is for those who walk uprightly, with clean hands, a pure heart, and truthful lips. This foundation is later echoed and expanded by Yeshua, who reveals exactly how that purity and righteousness are lived out.
“If you would enter into life, keep the commandments.”— Matthew 19 : 17
Yeshua ties eternal life and the Kingdom together through obedience to the commandments and faith. He later confirms this again in Revelation:
“Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.” — Revelation 22 : 14
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.”— Matthew 7 : 21
True discipleship is not lip service; it’s active obedience to His will.
“Unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.”
— Matthew 18 : 3
Yeshua reveals that humility, faith, hope and trust are the spiritual posture of those who belong to Him.
“Unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 5 : 20
This isn’t about legal superiority but heart purity, keeping Torah not for status, but from love and sincerity and truth.
“He who endures to the end shall be saved.” — Matthew 24 : 13
Faithfulness under trial proves genuine allegiance to the King Eternal.
“Enter by the narrow gate because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” — Matthew 7 : 13-14
Yeshua’s path is demanding; few walk it fully, but it leads to life everlasting.
“Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing.” — Matthew 24 : 46
Faithfulness in what YHWH assigns brings reward in the Kingdom.
“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” — Matthew 4 : 17
Repentance is the doorway, turning from sin and returning to YHWH’s ways.
From Yeshua’s words, the pattern is clear:
Faith, repentance, submission to the Father’s will, obedience to the commandments, endurance, hope for his kingdom and servanthood. These form the spiritual DNA of those who truly enter the Kingdom.
“Repent, and be immersed every one of you in the name of Yeshua the Messiah for the forgiveness of sins.”
— Acts 2 : 38
The Kingdom begins with repentance and covenant immersion.
“Faith without works is dead.” — James 2 : 17
Yaaqob echoes Yeshua’s message, faith must produce obedience to the law.
“Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.” — Romans 3 : 31
"For the law of the Spirit of life in Messiah Yeshua has made me free from the law of sin and death.” — Romans 8 : 2
Paul explains that grace removes the penalty of sin, not the practice of righteousness.
“Walk by the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” — Galatians 5 : 16
“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of Elohim?” — 1 Corinthians 6 : 9-10
Righteous living and walking by the Spirit remain conditions for inheritance in the Kingdom.
The message of YHWH, Yeshua, and the apostles is unified, faith and commandments.
Entrance into the Kingdom of Elohim is not gained through empty belief or ritual but through a life that mirrors the King Himself.
“Here is the patience of the set-apart ones: those who keep the commandments of Elohim and the faith of Yeshua.”— Revelation 14 : 12
Examine your life. Are you walking in the faith, obedience, endurance, and repentance that Yeshua Himself said?
“Am I in the Kingdom?” is not a question of heritage, it’s a question of heart, faith, hope and serving with the will of YHWH.
