Jesus said "Except a man be born again he cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven"
John 3:3

The whole of creation is the Father' domain and handiwork and He exercises His authority in terms of dynamic love. Herein is the awe-full challenge and responsibility of all His human creation, for love must be freely offered and freely accepted or refused. The Father cannot refuse to accept the loving offering of his children, for that would be to deny His very nature. Nor would He seek to stem that intimate relationship which can be engendered only in and through love which is the essence of His Being.

The natural world rejoices in its naturalness and praises its Creator by rejoicing in that which it is given to be or do. The human creation is destined to transcend the natural world, entering the existence of super-nature by exercising thought and will . Not once but countless times in the growing, maturing process man is called to make choices and commitments, developing in single-mindedness and integrity. So by grace and guidance he enters the Kingdom of Heaven and graduates slowly, often painfully , into discipleship and fellowship with others so committed ; or not. But most of the Father's children have or will attain, some weakly, some few all but moribund, all borne on the wings of prayer and intercession, carried in Our loving arms to the end to rejoice in The Presence.
