Reserve a place in the Holy City New Jerusalem

Who will be eligible to apply? 
Do you want to reserve a place in the Holy City New Jerusalem? Then, first you have to know the criteria of requirement. Disciple John wrote: But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life. (Revelation 21:27) 

Paul said, "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)

"Now the works of flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries. I tell you that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21)

Then what to do?
"Repent and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin. For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord God, "Therefore turn and live.”  "Put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon sons of disobedience." (Ezekiel 18:30,32, Colossians 3:5-6)

He said, "The soul who sins shall die. But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live. Do I have any pleasure at all that, the wicked should die? And not that he should turn from his ways and live?" (Ezekiel 18:21-23)

But how?
Disciple John said, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1John 1:9) For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Roman 6:23) John wrote, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believe in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him, might be saved.” (John 3:16-17)

Jesus said, “Most assuredly I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believe in Him may have everlasting life. For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold all things have become new.” (John 5:24, 6:40, Galatians 3:26, 2Corinthians 5:17)

Now you are eligible to enroll your name in the book of life. But you have to maintain your new life till His coming. Jesus said, “But he who endures to the end shall be saved. Matthew 24:13

How to maintain our new life?
Jesus said,  Blessed are those who do His commandments that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gate in to the city." "Here is the patience of saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. "Behold, I am coming quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give everyone according to his work." (Rev 22:12, 14,14:12)

He said, “Abide in Me and I in you. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love. Just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. (John 15:4, 10) So He declared to you His covenant  which He commanded you to perform, that is the Ten Commandments; and He wrote them on two tablets of stone. (Deuteronomy 4:13) And He said, “My covenant  I will not break, nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips.(Psalm 89:34) You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take anything from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. (Deuteronomy 4:2) If you really fulfill the Royal Law according to scripture. You do well: but you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty. He who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does." (James 2:8-9,12, 1:25)

“But whoever had sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book. (Exodus 32:33) when a righteous man turn away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations, that the wicked man does, shall he live? All the righteousness which he has done not be remembered; because of the unrighteousness of which he is guilty and sin which he has committed, because of them he shall die.(Ezekiel 18:24)
