HOW IMPORTANT IS LOVING GOD?

WHO RECEIVES THE KINGDOM       
    Mt 21:43 The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof
    (If one is not bringing forth the fruits of the kingdom, then the kingdom is not given to them; after all, that is why it was taken away from Israel.)         
    Ja 2:5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
    Gal 4:7 if a son, then an heir of God through Christ

THOSE WHO CONTINUE IN GOOD WORKS RECEIVE:
                                 ETERNAL LIFE
    Rom 2:6-7 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:   To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, (he renders) eternal life:  

WHO RECEIVES THE CROWN OF LIFE
    Ja 1:12 Blessed [is] the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him
    Rev 2:10 be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

WHO IS NOT UNDER THE LAW?
    Gal 5:18 if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law

NO CONDEMNATION          
    Rom 8:1 no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit
    Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit
    Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
    Rom 13:10 therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

WHO IS HEIR
    Rom 8:17  And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together
    Verses 10-16 explain that the children have moved into a realm of not satisfying the flesh.  They show that the children are sons and sons are led by the spirit.  If they live after the flesh they shall die and are not sons.
    Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
    Those that are Christ’s are given to Him by the Father after the Father deems them fit as shown above.
    Gal 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
    Sons are led by the spirit as discussed above.
    Titus 3:7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life
    One is made an heir; it is not done at the cross.  The previous verse tells how we need to be washed and regenerated by the Spirit.  One can say no to this.
    Heb 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation
    If the path above reveals the course of salvation, then what is the course to miss it?  Obviously those who refuse to come to the cross can’t hit the mark, but what about some of those who do come but won’t do it God’s way.
