9Do 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 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
It's actually "have an inheritance" in the kingdom of God. (You can't see it in the KJV but in the text its have an inheritance)
You build rewards in this life by walking in love,
those who do what you stated above, are not walking in love so they surely will not have an inheritance in the kingdom of God.
Their is an inheritance (or rewards)
1. for walking in love and also
2. an inheritance just because you are a son of God, it's a sonship inheritance, the new spiritual body is a part of that sonship inheritance that you cannot lose.
Just like in the physical, a son inherits
the genetics of his father and cannot lose them, it's the same with God and is sons, but that which we get from God is a
spiritual seed, instead of a physical seed.
That seed is called incorruptible seed in Peter, it is also called
holy spirit which is given to us from God, it's called
power from on high,
the comforter,
the spirit of truth,
Christ in you, many different names, each name intending to describe a characteristic of the spirit.
No matter what any one says the word is very clear that, you are "
sealed with the holy spirit of promise"
until the "
redemption" (the
complete freedom paid by a ransom) of the purchased possession. We are just living a partial freedom now because we are still in our physical bodies.
To be sealed with holy spirit is just another proof that you cannot lose eternal life, once you get it, but you do receive rewards or not receive rewards (inheritance) by your walk of love or lack of walking in love in this life.
The word sealed is a great word to study and understand biblically, as related to you being sealed. Nothing can get in and nothing can get out.
Redemption basically means a complete freeing paid by way of a ransom, Jesus Christ was the ransom, He paid the price for us, His life, and we have been delivered, rescued out from the power of darkness.
We are still in this flesh suit corrupting body, but citizens of heaven, blessed with all spiritual blessings, seated at the right hand of God with Christ, but
in the future we will no longer be limited to this physical body.
We are a new creation NOW, a new spiritual race of men and women with Jesus Christ as the forerunner,
the first born among men from the dead into a new spiritual body, and
in the future at the redemption of the purchassed possesion, you and I, the Christians will have a body fashioned like unto His glorious body.
Either way this redemption, comes to it's fullness, when we are changed in a moment or twinkling of an eye, or when we are raised from the dead, then
the fullness,
the completness of
the redemption comes into fruition.
Right Now in life, a Christian, born again believer with eternal life, has a token, an earnest of the spirit. A down payment so to speak of that which is coming, the greater.
We have power now, but by no means to the fullness and capacity that we will have in the future.
Ephesians 1:12-14
12That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

In whom ye also trusted,
after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also
after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
[SIZE=-4]14[/SIZE]Which is
the earnest of our inheritance until the
redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
You are truly loved of God.
If you need scripture to back all of this up, I will supply word for word, line by line, if needed, no problem at all and would be a blessing to do.
