Why are there vacancies in Gods House?

[Writer]

Jesus says: "In my Father's house there are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you"

The mansions have been built, yet many are still vacant. “...until the full number of gentiles have come in”

“whosoever believeth shall not perish but have everlasting life”.

Our purpose as ambassador's of God's Kingdom on this earth, through God's word, the Gospel, is to serve to usher in that promise to whosoever. If we are beacons, standing on the ROCK, whosoever will take notice, and we must be “...adequately equipped” and prepared to bring them before Christ Jesus. Not through faith in some religious rituals, but rather by Faith through Jesus. “...for don't you know that YOU are the temple (beacon) of the Holy Spirit”. “YOU have been made to be Kings and Priests”.

If you are born from above, YOU are a new creation and you have already been approved, set apart, and anointed.

Don't let this world, or any religion tell you it is not so. IT IS SO, sayeth the Lord God almighty.

Rejoice and be blessed

They're empty because just believing isn't enough just like Scripture says.

They're empty because just believing isn't enough just like Scripture says.

What Scripture do you read?

John 3:16​

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

John 14:1​

“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.

Mark 16:15-16​

And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

Just "believe" and recieve eternal life as well as a place prepared in Heaven for you, compliments of Jesus.

“...until the full number of gentiles have come in”

There's the answer right there

The fullness of the fruit of the earth has not yet come in.

The fullness of the fruit of the earth has not yet been completed.

First it doesn't say anywhere there that belief is the only thing necessary for eternal life. Second scripture shows that it's faith AND doing the will of God.

Matthew 7:21
Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my heavenly Father.

There's the answer right there

The answer is right in John 3:16, the invitation is for the whole world, and it's up to each individual to accept Jesus's invitation to turn to Him, believe in Him and know that Jesus is Lord.

And there is a place in Heaven for everyone of those who do accept that invitation. There will be many in Heaven, but there will also be many that reject the invitation from the Lord.

Heaven won't feel like an empty place at all.

Just accepting isnt enough though just like Jesus said. If belief was sufficient then our actions subsequent to accepting Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior wouldnt matter but that contradicts Scripture.

This is true, so people should ignore the calvinists who claim God is the One who decides and causes only a few to be saved and then He PREVENTS everyone else from getting saved.

Calvinists claim God decided to assign salvation only a few and assigned everyone else to spend eternity in hell because apparently they believe God only loves calvinists

Hmmm, I know Calvinists believe in predestination.

However before someone brings this up I believe many exaggerate these Bible verses.

Matthew 7:13-14

13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."

When you listen to some other Christian's interpretation of this, it sounds like only like 100,000 lucky people get to go to Heaven.

What I believe these verses mean is the majority of the earth will choose the wide gate and broad road to destruction over the small gate and narrow road to Heaven, even though it maybe a minority that choose to accept Jesus's invitation. It will be more than a few million throughout the earth's history and very likely more than a few hundred million, if I was to guess I would say at least over a billion will make it throughout the history of the world to Heaven.

Many Christians forget that Salvation is a free gift for the world from God, and it's not all that complicated to receive eternal life. It's not by works, but by the Grace of God and what Jesus did for us and the blood He shed on the Cross, all we got to do is have a bit of Faith. And thank God for His grace, if it was by works & our perfection in the flesh then we have all failed.
