- The pride of outward religiosity as opposed to seeking inward reality with God will keep you from believing in Christ. Pride is the root sin of all sins.

So if a genuine believer can be denied entry into the kingdom of God, what are the reasons or the things that will keep them out?
This is the behavior of people who do exactly the things that they tell other people not to do; or when you preach to others to live a certain way, however, you choose to do the opposite. In other words, you do not practice what you preach, you do not “walk the talk.” In Matthew 7:3-5, we read Jesus rebuking people who are keen to see and correct o...
Forgiveness is a very prominent theme in the Bible, yet it’s not uncommon for Christians to have questions about forgiveness.
