With Jesus, there is hope for everyone.
Jesus loves us so much, that while we were sinners, He suffered and died in our place. (Romans 5:8).
The kingdom of God is not a place of unrighteousness. But Jesus made a way for us that are unrighteous so that everyone can enter God’s kingdom.
Jesus said if we are born again, born of water and of the Spirit, we can enter His kingdom. (John 3:5).
If we will turn our back on our sins and repent, we can be water baptized in His name Jesus for the remission [forgiveness] of our sins, washing them away and making us just. (Acts 2:38).
When we make this covenant by baptism with Him, He promises to fill us with the gift of His Spirit, making us sanctified, set apart and free from the guilt of sin. (Acts 2:39). When Jesus fills us with His Spirit we speak in tongues as His Spirit gives us the utterance. (Acts 2:4).
The Bible says,
"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?
“Be not deceived: neither fornicators [indulge in sexual sin], nor idolaters [worship idols], nor adulterers, nor effeminate [male prostitutes], nor abusers of themselves with mankind [practice homosexuality], nor thieves, nor covetous [greedy people], nor drunkards, nor revilers [verbally abusive], nor extortioners [cheat people], shall inherit the kingdom of God.
“And such WERE some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." - 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 KJV (my emphasis).
Everyone has a hope in Jesus!
