Living In The Kingdom

Jesus  commented often enough about living in the Kingdom that it could be called the general theme of His message while on Earth!  The Kingdom is coming, the Kingdom is here, the Kingdom is a choice you make to live in!

Read Mark 1:14-15

If you think about it, Jesus would never have been crucified if He was calling for His followers to live in and for the world!  But, He was calling for the faithful to understand that their allegiance was to a Kingdom not of this Earth, ruled by a ruler not of this Earth!  And He instantly became a threat to both Roman and Jew alike!

The Kingdom of God is Now!
Live in it today, not tomorrow!  In this moment, later is not an option for the current believer!

The Kingdom was so close to Jesus' day that they could have touched it, if they could have seen it!

The Kingdom of God is Near!
It is not physical.
It is not a country.
It is not a form of government.
It is not a state of religious zealotry.

It is you.
It is in you.
It is something you need to live!

The Kingdom of God is Nothing Like The World!
Turn away and around from you life!
It is all about His blessings - not the world's!
The world is going down, it will take you with it.
And we are not to be a part of the world!

The Kingdom of God is NEW Life For You!
Repent!
Believe!
The message is the GOSPEL.
Your being a disciple of Jesus is the GOAL!

There are new customs, languages and laws you need to learn and live.
The Kingdom we are called to live in - is to be an entirely whole new world!
Once you are there, sorry, you can not pretend the old ways are okay.

Your choice:
You either serve God, or by default you will be serving Satan.
But, God will always be the final judge ...

Please choose wisely.
