John 5:24[1] Jesus said if you hear His voice (word) and believe on the One that sent Him, you will have everlasting life. He did not say that would put you into His kingdom. In fact, He was talking to people that could believe and have everlasting life at that time. But, they could not be in His kingdom at that time because He had not even come into His kingdom at that time. He did not come into His kingdom until His resurrection and ascension Acts 2:30-35[2] Heb.8:1[3] Rev.3:21[4] When He took that throne, He fulfilled the promise that He had made to them in John 14:1[5] by baptizing them with the Spirit of Truth which is the Holy Ghost John 14:26[6] By doing this, He fulfilled the prophecy of John 3:3-6[7] They had already been baptized in water in Jesus name John 14:1[8] John 1o:25[9] and now they were baptized with the Holy Ghost thereby bringing them forth (birth, born again) by water and Spirit into His kingdom. Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift 2Cor. 9:15.
