Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God?
Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
(1Corinthians 6:9-11)

I have a Savior. I will never get in on my own merit. See Romans 3:23. There is only one way in.

In Revelations liars are told they will be cast into the lake of fire with all the other wicked of the world. How many people must a person kill to be come a murder? How much property do you need to steal to become a thief? So how many lies do you need to tell to become a liar? Simple answer it's ONE.. No human being deserves to inherit God's kingdom. WE can live for Christ and except the gift of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ as our savior. Just believing that He is isn't enough the Devils believe that and they tremble. A belief that He is God and will do what he promised is saving faith.

I do not have what it takes to inherit the Kingdom of God. I can't even say that I am trying that hard.
I won't go to church for fear of being struck by lightening upon entrance! ;)

So why would anyone want to inherit an imaginary kingdom?

To mathematician:
The Kingdom of God isn't imaginary, it's real, and someday you will believe this.
