The Kingdom of God

“The Kingdom of God is basically the rule of God. It is God’s reign, the divine sovereignty in action. God’s reign, however, is manifested in several realms, and the Gospels speak of entering into the Kingdom of God both today and tomorrow. God’s reign manifests itself both in the future and in the present and thereby creates both a future realm and a present realm in which men may experience the blessings of His reign. The Kingdom of God is, then, the realization of God’s will and the enjoyment of the accompanying blessings. However, it is a clear teaching of the New Testament that God’s will is not to be perfectly realized in this age. Central in Biblical Theology is the doctrine of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.” – Dr. George E. Ladd

 

You must be born again to see and enter the Kingdom of God (ref. John 3:3-5). A sinner must believe that Jesus Christ the Son of God (God manifested in the Flesh- an Authentic Man without sin), the Lamb of God shed his blood died on the Cross for our Sins and the Sin of the World, was Buried and Resurrected from the Dead the Third day for our justification. Then they are to Receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior by Grace through Faith: Repent, get water baptized (immersion) in the name of Jesus Christ  (invoked) for the remission of sins and receive the Holy Ghost with the initial sign of Speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives the Utterance. Then live a Live full of and led by the Holy Ghost and the Word of God – the Bible. (Ref. Read 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Ephesians 2:8; Acts 2:38-39; Acts 10:45-46a and others)

 

For the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. (Ref. Romans 14:17)

 

Kingdom Christians we are to implement the Kingdom of God in everyday life, we are to bear forth the Fruits of the Kingdom of God and the Fruit of the Spirit (cf. Matthew 21:43 - Jesus speaking to the religious leaders of Israel; Gal. 5:22-24). This is only done through abiding in Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ abiding in us. This is to abide in His words and His words abide in us- {I believe this is by way of the Holy Ghost, the Word of God- the Bible, Praise, Worship, Prayer and Fellowship with other Kingdom Christians}.

 

Kingdom Christians: We are to submit to God's glory reflecting in us, through us and out from us to the world liked angled mirrors. We are God's image bearers. We are by Grace through Faith via the Holy Ghost in the name of our Lord, Savior and King Jesus Christ reflect out to the world: Love, the Truth, Justice, Forgiveness, Holiness, Righteousness, Faith in God, Creativity and the Glory and Praises back unto God.
