Now I have been justified by faith, so I believe that I can enter the kingdom of heaven. Why do you say that I cannot enter it by believing this way?

   
    Bible Reference "Not every one that said to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess to them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity" (Mat 7:21-23).  "But as he which has called you is holy, so be you holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be you holy; for I am holy" (1Pe 1:15-16).         

    "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord"(Heb 12:14).  The answer from God's word: "Before God, is it that easy to be made perfect into a holy one, or a righteous person? It is a truism that 'there are no righteous upon this earth, the righteous are not in this world.' When you come before God, consider what you're wearing, consider your every word and action, all of your thoughts and ideas, and even the dreams that you dream every day—they are all for your own sake. Is this not the true state of affairs? 'Righteousness' does not mean giving alms, it does not mean loving your neighbor as yourself, and it does not mean not fighting, arguing, robbing, or stealing. Righteousness means taking God's commission as your duty and obeying God's orchestrations and arrangements as a heaven-sent vocation, regardless of the time or place, just like all that was done by the Lord Jesus. This is the very righteousness spoken of by God. That Lot could be called a righteous man is because he saved the two angels sent by God without care for what he gained or lost; what he did at that time can be called righteous, but he cannot be called a righteous man. It was only because Lot had seen God that he gave his two daughters in exchange for the angels. But not all of his behavior in the past represents righteousness, and thus I say that 'there are no righteous upon this earth.'" 
from "The Wicked Must Be Punished" in The Word Appears in the Flesh       
    
    "A sinner such as you, who has just been redeemed, and has not been changed, or been perfected by God, can you be after God's heart? For you, you who are still of your old self, it is true that you were saved by Jesus, and that you are not counted as sinners because of the salvation of God, but this does not prove that you are not sinful, and are not impure. How can you be saintly if you have not been changed? Within, you are beset by impurity, selfish and mean, yet you still wish to descend with Jesus—you should be so lucky! You have missed a step in your belief in God: You have merely been redeemed, but have not been changed. For you to be after God's heart, God must personally do the work of changing and cleansing you; if you are only redeemed, you will be incapable of attaining sanctity. In this way you will be unqualified to share in the good blessings of God, for you have missed out a step in God's work of managing man, which is the key step of changing and perfecting. And so you, a sinner who has just been redeemed, are incapable of directly inheriting God's inheritance."
from "Concerning Appellations and Identity" in The Word Appears in the Flesh 
    
    "Only God's work of cleansing will cleanse humanity of their unrighteousness, and only His work of chastisement and judgment will bring to light those disobedient things among humanity, thereby separating those who can be saved from those who cannot, and those who will remain from those who will not. When His work ends, those people who remain will be cleansed and enjoy a more wonderful second human life upon the earth as they enter a higher realm of humanity; in other words, they will enter into humanity's day of rest and live together with God. After those who cannot remain have undergone chastisement and judgment, their original forms will be entirely revealed; after this they will all be destroyed and, like Satan, will no longer be allowed to survive upon the earth. The humanity of the future will no longer contain any of this type of people; these people are not fit to enter the land of the ultimate rest, nor are they fit to enter the day of rest that God and man will share, for they are the targets of punishment and are the wicked; they are not righteous people."
from "God and Man Will Enter Into Rest Together" in The Word Appears in the Flesh 

    "Some people will end up saying, 'I've done so much work for You, and though there may not have been celebrated achievements, still I have been diligent in my efforts. Can't You just let me into heaven to eat the fruit of life?' You must know what kind of people I desire; those who are impure are not permitted to enter into the kingdom, those who are impure are not permitted to besmirch the holy ground. Though you may have done much work, and have worked for many years, in the end if you are still deplorably filthy—it is intolerable to Heaven that you wish to enter My kingdom! From the foundation of the world until today, never have I offered easy access to My kingdom to those who curry favor with Me. This is a heavenly law, and no one can break it!"
from "Success or Failure Depends on the Path That Man Walks" in The Word   Appears in the Flesh 
    
    "All those who can obey the present word of the Holy Spirit are the blessed ones, regardless of how they were before and how the Holy Spirit worked on them before. All those who receive the newest work are the most blessed ones. Today all those who cannot keep up with the newest work will be eliminated. God wants those who can accept the new light and those who accept and know the newest work. Why are you asked to be a pure virgin? A pure virgin can seek the work of the Holy Spirit and accept the new things, and can drop the old notions and obey God's work of today. This group of people who receive the newest work of today were predestined by God before the ages and are the most blessed ones."
