Chapter 462: Introduction
A gust of wind blew, and an old man, under the traction of the power of rules, came to Chen Xu's heavenly kingdom. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As soon as he entered, like most people, he looked around blankly, puzzled as to why he had come to this place.
"Am I not dead?" The old man raised his hands, a little incredulous, "I remember that it was on fire, and I was burned to death by the flames...... How did I end up here, what is this place? ā
"You are in heaven." A voice came, and the soldier came to the old man, "This is the heavenly kingdom of my Lord, the place where believers come when they die. ā
"I did." The old man didn't dwell too much on his death, but was curious about it, "Is this really the Lord's kingdom of heaven?" ā
"Of course." The soldier didn't care about the old man's questioning, because he knew that it was normal, and that not everyone could accept that they would come to heaven after they died, because science had always tried to preach that the Lord did not exist.
The old man did not speak, but walked under a fruit tree and said, "Please help me pick it." ā
"It is written in the New Testament that the fruit trees of the Lord's kingdom of heaven will never be plucked."
"If you pick one, and if the tree is still full of fruit, then it proves that this is the kingdom of heaven."
He wanted to pick it himself, but the tree was too tall for him to climb, so he asked the soldiers to help him pick it.
"You're familiar with the Lord's New Testament!" The soldier smiled and reached for the fruit.
He didn't care about the old man's disbelief, because he knew that the fruit on the tree really couldn't be plucked.
Sure enough, he plucked a fruit, and the next moment, a fruit grew on top of the fruit tree, so that the fruit of the fruit tree did not decrease.
"Now you believe it!"
The soldier weighed the fruit in his hand and took a bite, "It tastes good, do you want to taste one?" ā
"I don't need it." The old man smiled, he was sure that this was the Kingdom of Heaven, "Where is the Lord's palace?" I want to go to worship the Lord. ā
"The Lord's palace is in the middle of the kingdom of heaven, but it is impossible to go there." The soldier explained to the old man, "Because the Lord does not like believers to go and worship him." ā
"The Lord said, 'Faith is the covenant between believers and me.'"
"I see." The old man's expression was gloomy, "The Lord will not let us see it easily, neither when we are alive nor dead, will not see us." ā
"But as a believer, I want to see the great Lord more than anything else."
His gaze was cloudy.
The greatest wish of the believer is not to go to heaven or to dedicate himself to the Lord, but to make a pilgrimage.
"When you become a saint, you will be at the Lord's side." The soldier smiled and said, "Not only is it possible to be with the Lord, but you can also gain eternal life." ā
"Eternal life." The old man was taken aback by the soldier's words, "Can we also live forever?" ā
"It's the saints who live forever, not who you are now." The soldier patiently explained: "The Lord divides believers into levels according to their devout faith, and saints are the highest. ā
"Whenever a saint is born, the Lord rejoices."
The soldier looked at him with envy as he spoke.
He also had eternal life, but it was as a warrior for the Lord, and in the kingdom of heaven, he was at best in the middle ranks, and the saints were the real highs.
And the saints can always be by the Lord's side and enjoy the glory of the Lord.
"Saints?" The old man chewed on this sentence, and there was a longing look in his eyes, "How can you become a saint of the Lord?" ā
"Faith!" The soldier said firmly: "Faith is the only way to reach the Lord, and the only way to become a saint." ā
"I'm religious." The old man did not believe it and retorted to the soldiers, "No one is stronger than my faith in the Lord, why am I not a saint?" ā
The soldier smiled, not a sarcastic smile, but a knowing smile, "I had the same idea as you." ā
"I ask the Lord before the Lord: Lord, I have the most devout faith in you, why am I not your saint."
"Suppose what the Lord said to me?"
"How do you answer?" The old man was also curious, and was led by the nose by the soldiers.
"The Lord asked me, 'Are you willing to turn against your brother for me?'
"How is that possible?" The old man shook his head, "Isn't brotherly harmony a virtue?" How can the Lord turn people against each other. ā
"Don't worry." The soldier laughed even harder, "I said the same thing at the time, but the Lord told me that you are a religious, not a saint. ā
"Because the saints give me everything they have, and I share everything I have with the saints."
"Now you understand?"
The old man was stunned, stood in place, lowered his head and pondered, and after a long time, he raised his head and said, "I understand." ā
"I am not a saint, and my faith is not enough."
"Although Jesus** is an evil god, he has a good saying: I have not come to bring peace on earth, but to rise up against the sword, for he who believes in me and loves me will hold faith above all else."
"Father-son affection, friendship, and moral truth are all lower than faith."
He only understands to this day that he has always thought that he is the most devout believer of the Lord, but in fact he is not a devout believer of the Lord at all, because he cannot put the faith of the Lord above everything at all.
He can't give up the relationship between father and son, can't give up friends and friendship, and can't get rid of the moral shackles bound to his body, and he is confused by his own cognition all the time.
How can this kind of faith be wholehearted dedication?
So after his death, he did not become a saint, but only an ordinary believer in the Lord.
But he understood what was the use, let him really give up on that, he couldn't do it at all.
"It seems impossible for me to become a saint." The old man shook his head and sighed, a little disappointed.
"Even if you can't become a saint, what does it matter?" The soldier comforted the old man softly, "I'm already close to the Lord anyway, aren't I?" ā
"That's just as well." The old man perked up, "Tell me about this kingdom of heaven!" ā
"He wanted to walk around and see what the kingdom of heaven was like."
"Okay." The soldier began to introduce the old man, "The kingdom of heaven, as the name suggests, is the kingdom of the Lord and the paradise of believers. ā
"Here, you will never have to worry about hunger, you will never have to worry about cold, and you will never need to worry about being afraid, because the kingdom of heaven for the Lord is beautiful everywhere."
"You can build a hut at will, and if you need help, call me."
In fact, as long as the mind is not overconsumed, it will not be tired, but many people have the habit of sleeping before they die, so they can't change this habit when they come to heaven after death.
"Okay." The old man nodded repeatedly. (To be continued.) )
