But those who do not embrace the Kingdom of God do not get to inherit it.
Galatians 5:16. But I say, may you walk in the Spirit so that you would not in any way fulfill any desire of the flesh. 17. For flesh turns against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh, these things are opposed to one another, so that you would not do the things you want to do. 18. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law of the flesh. 19. And the works of the flesh are apparent, which are immorality, impurity, licentiousness, 20. idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, outbreaks of selfishness, dissensions, factions, 21. envy, drunkenness, carousing, and like things. I tell you beforehand, just as I told you before, that the ones who are doing things such as these will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
