Title: Not in the Kingdom of God.
Contents
The theme of this year's General Assembly Ministry of Education is the Kingdom of God and Godliness. Church School Kindergarten and Children's Bible School start tomorrow. Let's think about the kingdom of God. The era in which we are currently living is called the global era. It is also called the global era. All over the world, worldwide, worldwide, on a global scale, all over the world, which means that the countries of the world are united into one (the age of globalization, the age of internationalization). (Travel is easy, the world's official language is coming out. It is the report of the academic community that the Korean language is also alive.)
◈ What is the best country to live in? You may be thinking of the United States, Switzerland, Canada, or Australia. However, the best country to live in is not a country on earth, but the kingdom of God. All countries on earth have national borders. (Territory (領土), territorial sea (領海), and airspace (領空) have boundaries.
◈ It is not an easy country to go to. You must have a passport to go. In the United States, not only a passport is required, but also a visa (VISA), which is the same as an entry permit. The kingdom of God is not accessible to everyone. It doesn't matter if you can't speak the language. Just as you only need to get an entry permit, the visa for the kingdom of God is faith. The kingdom of faith is the kingdom of God.
◈ The best country for people to live is the kingdom of God, but not everything is there. there is nothing If there is something that should not exist, it is not the kingdom of God. The prophet Isaiah is speaking about the coming kingdom of the Messiah (the kingdom ruled by the Messiah, Jesus Christ, the kingdom of God).
◈ There are things that are not in the kingdom of God.
1) The kingdom of God has no enemies.
In the kingdom of God, there are no enemies and there is no war or strife. It is truly a peaceful world. (6-8) “In those days the wolf dwelt with the lamb, and the leopard lie down with the goat, and the calf and the young lion and the fattened beast together, drawn by the young, the cow and the bear eating together, and their young together. They will lie down and lions will eat grass like oxen, and suckling children will play in the vipers' burrows, and weaning children will put their hands in the vipers' dens." Come and play with the lambs. It is a country where a leopard and a young goat lie together. It is a country where calves and lions play together. It is a country of fattened animals and little children. It is a country where cows and bears eat together. It is a peaceful country where lions graze on grass like oxen. It is a country where even if a nursing child puts his or her hand in a snake's burrow, there is no injury or harm.
◈ No country on earth can be the kingdom of God because it has enemies and enemies. The kingdom of God is a country without war. We must pray for such a nation to come true. This country should be taught to the children growing up. We must pray that our country will become a nation without enemies.
2) The kingdom of God is a country without weapons against others.
Isaiah (2:4) says, “They will strike their swords into plowshares, and their spears into sickles; and kingdoms will no longer hold swords against each other, nor will they practice war any more.”
◈ There is no need for weapons because the enemies are gone. no need for war So I struck a knife and made a plow. Moisturizer is an agricultural tool. It is now an era of peace. Melted the spear to make a pickaxe. He melted a knife and made a sickle. A country without weapons is the kingdom of God.
◈ Cain was the first person to go through an opponent. He struck and killed his brother Abel in the field. We do not know what the weapon was. (Boulders and clubs were the first primitive weapons.) After that, spears, swords, and bows were developed as weapons. In the future, more and more destructive and lethal weapons will emerge. However, the kingdom of God is a country without weapons against others.
◈ Heaven goes to after death, but there is also heaven in this world. The kingdom of heaven right now is in our hearts. If there are no enemies or enemies in the heart, it is the kingdom of God. If there is no hatred, hatred, envy, or jealousy that tries to get over the other person, it is heaven in this world. We must teach and pray for such a nation to come true.
3) The kingdom of God is a kingdom without harm or damage.
(Isa 11:9) “There shall be no harm or bruise on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.”
◈ It is the devils who cause harm (傷) and harm (傷). The devil is trying to steal, kill, and destroy people (John 10:10), and they are the ones who are looking after them like a roaring lion (1 Peter 5:8). There is no such devil in the kingdom of God. no one does harm no one to offend Only God's love and word are full as the waters cover the sea.
◈ The kingdom of God is the kingdom we should seek. It is a country without enemies, without weapons, and without demons. Let's long for this kingdom of God and pray for it. teach
