What does the Bible say about inheriting the kingdom of God?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible warns that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God, emphasizing the necessity of righteousness for salvation.

In 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, the Apostle Paul clearly states, "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?" This warning serves as a caution against deception regarding one's spiritual state. The New Testament consistently emphasizes that those practicing unrighteousness—be it through idolatry, theft, or other sins—cannot be considered part of God's kingdom. To inherit the kingdom of God requires regeneration, as articulated in John 3:3, indicating that one must be born again to enter this kingdom. Without such a transformative experience, individuals remain outside of God's grace and favor.
