Reacting to part 5 of going to heaven is it destiny?

The heavenly race is one in which everyone is running to reach the finish line. In this race, it does not matter who is first, second or third, all that matters is; who crossed the finish line and make it to heaven.

God does not immediately judge you after birth

Irrespective of the fact that we have been given the opportunity from birth to enter the kingdom of heaven, we need to abide in God, and he in us. We need to keep the entire commandments of God and make sure that no one is missing. If we do not abide by his commandments, then we will be considered a cast away.

King Solomon, a great man who was chosen by God since birth to rule the children of Israel and build a house for God, was considered a cast away because at some point, he started derailing from the service of God.

1 Chronicles 28:9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

Though Solomon was chosen from birth, he did not need to the faith, he did not fear God, and as such, God considered him a castaway.

1 Kings 9:4 And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments: 9:5 Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.

From the Bible passage above, God told Solomon to be as pure as his father David, to be pure in his heart. Solomon was promised the establishment of the throne of Israel forever, just as it was promised to his father, David.

1 Kings 11:4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.

Later, when Solomon got old, he became disobedient. His many wives turned his heart After many other gods, thus, making his pure heart to disappear and become unfit for God's service.

Due to all these, king Solomon, once a great man with a pure heart, became.a castaway in the sight of God.

God knows who is going to heaven and who is not. He does no immediately judge after birth, but after death. By that time, you have been given plenty opportunities to let go of the immoral ways and embrace the service of God.
