INTRODUCTION: BEING HEAVENLY-MINDED TO DO SOME EARTHLY
GOOD! THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY!


John 3:3,5- 3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no
one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. 
5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter
the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the
Spirit. 


John 14:6- Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and
the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Jesus always had heaven on His mind, and this is why He was able
to do the things He did, go thru the things He had to go through
and be able to share with us why we should have heaven on our
minds.  His first sermon was the Sermon on the Mount,  
[“Beatitudes”} in Matthew 5:1-11 introduces us to the
possibility of heaven, and then in verses 13—48, He
describes us as being the salt of the earth and the light of the
world, He reminds us of how we should be living, loving, and
treating each other because our focus has been changed and heaven
is on our minds.

Chapter 7 tells us shows the wrong mindset when we judge
one another, He reminds us again of the asking, seeking, and
knowing on heaven’s door, He tells us about the wide gate and
broad road that leads to destruction, yet many walk this path,
but the small gate and narrow road that leads to life, only a few
will ever find it.  He warns us about the difference between
the false and true prophets and who are true and false
disciplines (churchgoers). He tells us the power of being a wise
builder and not being foolish builders.

Chapter 8 He starts on His mission. Now if this is not
teaching us to be heavenly-minded so we can be so earthly good, I
don’t know what else to tell you, my sisters and brothers. 
Can you see the big picture yet?


God is talking but have we been listening? Jesus' requirements
are very simple, repent, be born again, and believe in me. His
words are with authority, authenticity, and assurance. His words
of being born again are about our spiritual birth with the help
of the Holy Spirit. He is not talking about rules and religion,
He is talking about a personal relationship with a changed heart
and mind.


When you say that you are Christian, you are saying you have been
born again, you have accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior. It
is about a change that will take place on the inside and show up
on the outside. It is not something that you can do on your own,
you need the Holy Spirit, and the only way to receive the Spirit
is to be born again. JESUS IS  THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN AND
HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE YOUR SOUL! HE IS OUR GREATEST
EXAMPLE OF BEING HEAVENLY-MINDED TO TO SOME EARTHLY
GOOD!

SCRIPTURES TO LIVE BY: 


1 Peter 1:23- “For you have been born again, not of
perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and
enduring word of God.”


Titus 3:5- “he saved us, not because of righteous things
we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the
washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.”
