Living Inside The Kingdom of God While Still On Earth

Jesus replied, very truly I tell you, no one can see

The Kingdom of God unless they are born again (from above). (John 3:3 NIV)

That Which Is Born Must Grow!

The moment we accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we become children of God, citizens of the Kingdom of God as Jesus Christ is the door into the Kingdom. We are given the “Gift of Righteousness” of Jesus Christ. Righteousness is what we need, and our righteousness could never be right enough. Actually, even our best efforts are like filthy rags before God. God knows our heart and this is what must be right in us.

Now, we are inside the Kingdom of God, but we are still on earth. We are in the world, but not of the world, for we have repented. What do we do from here between the time we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior and the time we physically die? We must learn our duties, our job and our assignments. We do not seek the praise of man rather we seek the praise of God.

Think about all the different countries, nationalities, cultures, and customs in relation to the fact that we are all now citizens of the kingdom of God on earth. God’s holy word, The Bible, is the same all over the earth, and our obligation to obey it is the same no matter where we are. The Holy Spirit, we are obligated to hear Him, to obey Him and to follow His lead no matter what country we are in. Our obligation to the King is to take up our cross daily and to follow Him no matter what the laws of the land are.

God’s kingdom on earth overlaps all of those

imaginary lines drawn all over the earth that we call “boundaries”.

To love the world is to be an enemy of Christ. Loving the world is the same as worshipping false gods. The riches of the world were offered to Jesus Christ, but He rejected them. We do not live to work thirty years, receive a gold watch and to have eight hundred plus credit scores. We seek first, the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness (right way of living), realizing that “then” all those worldly things will be added. Salvation is what we have. Jesus Christ has set us free.

Yes, We Are Now Saved. But, For What, From What?

When God chose to form the earth and make mankind in His image, He was establishing His kingdom on earth. God did not create us for us. God created us for himself. Mankind was His representatives on earth. Although earth is not heaven, the rules of God’s kingdom in heaven still apply here on earth. Think of it like when America establishes an embassy in a foreign land. The rules of America still apply, just as if the citizens there were still in America. The laws of that foreign land are not applicable to America’s citizens there.

But in the case of the kingdom, God commands us to obey the laws of that land, unless the laws of that land require us to disobey the laws of the kingdom. However, we must be prepared to accept the punishment that comes from not obeying man’s law like Daniel and the other Hebrew boys. We must not be arrogant in that situation, but always humble because God has promised to “lift up” the humble. We don’t know if God will save us from the punishment by man, but we do know that “He Is Able”. Nevertheless, we must obey God over man. America supplies the embassy with all of their needs and protects them.

Obedience is Man’s Way of Representing God.

Disobedience is Man’s Way of Representing Himself.

When Adam disobeyed God, sin entered into mankind. Even his seed was infected. God therefore withdrew His spirit and severed relations with mankind. God’s Kingdom was not with mankind. Mankind was driven out of the Garden of Eden into the rest of the earth and the protection, direction, and provisions of the Kingdom were no longer available to mankind. Mankind was destined to live this life without the provisions of the Kingdom and to spend eternity in hell.

Jesus Christ restored to mankind “The Kingdom of God”, the one that Adam lost just as if he had never lost it. We can access all the resources of the Kingdom, “by faith”. Faith to access the resources of the Kingdom is essential in order for us to carry out our duty as Ambassadors and Soldiers of the King. We cannot please God without faith, for without faith we will not have the courage to obey.

It is important to know and understand that the King of the Kingdom is our brother. Having the same father makes people brothers. He has saved us and manages our inheritance for us.

Salvation is a process that has three stages. We have been saved from the penalty of sin, we are being saved from the power of sin (as often as we allow Jesus to), and we shall be saved from the presence of sin. Sin is still a very big deal, for its wages are still death.

With this Salvation comes an obligation to be about our Father’s business, which is to engage in the spiritual war to go get our brothers and sister and take them to the King and to teach those inside the kingdom to obey “The Law of The Kingdom”. The Law of The Kingdom is love. This battle is fought in the mind. For this is where God and Satan communicate with mankind. The battle is fought in the mind, but we can tell who won or lost by our actions.

The Bible is Our Only Instruction Manual; We Must Learn it and Obey it.

THE ONLY WAY!

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and (God) will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)

Therefore, let us take them to the King!
