"And I will give to thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. "
Have you ever tried to open a door but using the wrong keys?
Jesus to Peter in Matthew 18:18 And I say also to you,
that you are Peter,
and upon this rock I will build My congregation;
and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
And I will give to thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven

Here is the text of Peter's Words to the Jews in Jerusalem, Who Jesus is, and what to do with that knowledge.
Whereas it should be a model for gospel preaching, it is actually ignored, replaced by false ideas, and the central message even argued against!
How is that? The churches proclaim many other versions of Jesus! "Jesus is God" being just one example. Click THIS LIST for many more of them!
22 “ men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of
Nazareth, a Man approved of God among you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did through Him in the midst
of you, as you yourselves also know —
23 this man, being delivered by the determinate will and foreknowledge of
God, ye have taken and by wicked hands have crucified and slain.
24 But God has raised Him up, having loosed the pains of death,
because it was not possible that He should be held by it.
25 For David speaks concerning Him: ‘I beheld the Lord always before my
face, for He is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also
my flesh shall rest in hope,
27 because Thou <GOD> wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither
wilt Thou suffer Thine Holy One to see corruption.
28 Thou has made known to me the ways of life;
Thou shalt make me full of joy with Thy countenance.’
29 “Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David,
that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us to this day.
30 Therefore, being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn an oath
to him that from the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh He would raise
up Christ to sit on his throne,
31 David, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the
resurrection of Christ that ‘His soul was not left in hell, neither did
His flesh see corruption.’
32 This Jesus has God raised up, of which we are all witnesses.
33 Therefore, being exalted by the right hand of God,
and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, He
hath shed forth this which ye now see and hear.
34 For David is not ascended into the heavens, but he himself said,
‘The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit Thou on My right hand
35 until I make Thy foes Thy footstool.’
36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord
and Christ.”
37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and
said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall
we do?”
38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are
afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”
