God's irrevocable judgment comes to every soul immediately after death. The ruling or verdict of that judgment will either be eternal life in heaven or eternal damnation in hell, depending on how the soul concerned lived on earth. Consider the following statement made by the Lord Jesus Christ - "And it came to pass, that the begger died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bossom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, ..." - Luke 16:22-23.

What does it mean to receive the kingdom of God? It means to receive and believe in the teachings from God's word about His kingdom. These teachings are found in the Bible and are meant to prepare the soul for heaven. However, it is only those that receive the word of God as little children that can make it into heaven. Whereas, believers are commanded to be children in malice, they are commanded to be adults in understanding the things of God.

When a man through the study of the scriptures comes to the knowledge of the truth, it makes him wise unto salvation. From that point he begins to speak wisdom out of the abundance of God's word hidden in his heart. The Lord also gives him the tongue of the learned that he may know how to both speak and answer every man. Every true child of God should therefore have a soft, wholesome and tamed tongue to speak edifying and encouraging words.
