the_o apostle_n james_n say_v james_n 1.27_o be_v pure_a religion_n and_o undefiled_a before_o god_n the_o father_n 2._o a_o second_o demonstration_n be_v this_o none_o can_v enter_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o they_o who_o be_v prepare_v for_o it_o and_o none_o be_v such_o but_o they_o that_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o the_o sense_n explain_v heaven_n be_v not_o only_o prepare_v

that_o we_o must_v be_v make_v meet_a to_o be_v partaker_n before_o we_o partake_v be_v clear_a from_o col._n 1.12_o where_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v they_o have_v pray_v that_o they_o may_v give_v thanks_o to_o the_o father_n who_o have_v make_v they_o meet_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o inheritance_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o light_n who_o have_v fit_v they_o for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o

into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o his_o dear_a son_n a_o man_n must_v be_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o son_n which_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n on_o earth_n and_o be_v thereby_o fit_v for_o before_o he_o can_v be_v admit_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o this_o translation_n be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o fit_v we_o by_o enable_v we_o to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o be_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v oppose_v to_o be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n and_o therefore_o must_v carry_v in_o it_o a_o sense_n contrary_a to_o it_o now_o when_o we_o be_v under_o that_o power_n we_o werele_v by_o he_o at_o his_o will_n as_o eph._n 2.2_o 3._o we_o be_v at_o his_o beck_n and_o bid_n his_o will_n be_v our_o law_n therefore_o to_o be_v translate_v from_o thence_o into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n can_v denote_v no_o less_o than_o our_o obedience_n to_o he_o or_o our_o do_v his_o will_n whereby_o we_o be_v make_v meet_a to_o be_v partaker_n etc._n etc._n 3._o a_o three_o demonstration_n be_v this_o none_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o they_o to_o who_o its_o promise_a they_o that_o have_v no_o promise_n can_v expect_v no_o

then_o that_o christ_n will_v tell_v we_o matth._n 12.50_o whosoever_o shall_v do_v the_o will_n of_o my_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n or_o as_o mark_n rendens_fw-la it_o the_o will_n of_o

be_v none_o bear_v of_o god_n but_o this_o be_v their_o character_n 1_o john_n 2.29_o you_o know_v that_o every_o one_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o he_o do_v righteousness_n and_o again_o 1_o john_n 3_o whosoever_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n do_v not_o commit_v sin_n because_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n that_o be_v he_o do_v not_o live_v in_o sin_n be_v not_o under_o the_o dominion_n or_o command_n of_o sin_n sin_n do_v not_o reign_v in_o he_o that_o he_o shall_v obey_v it_o in_o the_o lust_n or_o will_v thereof_o 6._o the_o six_o and_o last_o demonstration_n be_v this_o none_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o holy_a one_o for_o say_v the_o text_n hebr._n 12.14_o without_o holiness_n no_o man_n shall_v see_v god_n now_o what_o be_v holiness_n but_o do_v the_o will_n of_o

pure_a thus_o i_o think_v i_o have_v full_o prove_v and_o demonstrate_v this_o to_o be_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n that_o they_o and_o none_o but_o they_o shall_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n who_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o be_v that_o do_v believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o bring_v forth_o the_o obedience_n of_o

hard_a to_o this_o day_n for_o a_o rich_a man_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n they_o have_v so_o much_o bag_n and_o baggage_n as_o the_o camel_n have_v his_o buneh_n on_o his_o back_n they_o say_v who_o then_o can_v be_v save_v the_o answer_n be_v give_v and_o be_v now_o that_o which_o be_v impossible_a with_o man_n be_v possible_a yea_o very_o feasible_a with_o god_n but_o to_o
