Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 15:50
I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

Galatians 5:19–21
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone.

But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

What is the kingdom of Jesus?
What is our role in it?
How do we carry out that role?
It was Jesus' ONLY Gospel. The Kingdom is both God's rulership (His kingdom) and a place (the Kingdom) where the Adversary and adversarial man is not allowed.

This beta life is a filter. Our role is to live according to it's ways, both here and hopefully afterlife, there.

To act not only in servitude to each other but to God both here and beyond. It is a way of life, not a religion. As the Lord's Prayer says: "Thy will be done in earth, as it is in Heaven".
