Title: Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness!
Contents
The kingdom of heaven is not as far away as we think, it is within us. It's just that my insides haven't been cleansed yet, so I can't really feel it. After we confess Jesus as our Savior, God sends the Holy Spirit as a gift to those who believe, and it is at this time that the kingdom of heaven comes upon us. The Holy Spirit who has come into my spirit guides me on the 'way to righteousness' so that the kingdom of God can gradually expand within me. At that time, if I live according to the words of the Holy Spirit, my old self will gradually die, and my heart will be under the perfect rule of God, and only then will the kingdom of heaven be established within me.
But the problem is that most people don't do this. They only knew that if they believed in Jesus and received the Holy Spirit, they would be saved. As a result, even after having God in him, he cannot depend on God and still asks, “What shall we eat?” like the people of the world. what to drink What should I wear?” And because he is not trying to get everything through God, he is constantly trying to get it on his own, so his relationship with God seems to be getting farther away.
God created all things in this world through His Word. Then, is there anything in the world that is not moving in God's providence? Not even a petty insect was created by God, and it will never die without His permission. But, how much more can he have interest in human beings who resemble God’s image, and how much interest in God can a person who believes in Jesus and has God’s Spirit as well? However, the reason people who believe in Jesus today are failing to attract God's attention is that they are not receiving God's help because they choose to live on their own. God is waiting with open arms to help those who believe, but no one truly seeks God. I'm just looking for it with my mouth...! It really can be a sad thing.
If you know what is being said in the entire Bible, the focus is on the kingdom of God. If you know all the words that the Lord is saying to the Jews when he comes, these are the contents. The core of the gospel also speaks of these things. But today, if you believe in Jesus and go to church diligently, everything will happen automatically and you will automatically go to heaven by writing.
Even if those who have been saved by faith have gone to heaven in this way, now, in the last autumn harvest, the kingdom of heaven must be fully established in their hearts. In autumn, just as all things produce desirable fruits, humans must now produce fruits that are worthy of God's sight. By the fruit, God will judge the wheat and the chaff. Whole grains are called grains. To say that human beings are full of heart means that there should be no sin in them.
However, people do not even know what time of the day it is now and do not make any effort to build the kingdom of God within themselves, and are only interested in eating, drinking, and having fun like the rest of the world. Just like in the days of Noah's Flood, they are preoccupied with getting married and getting married. And they are not making any effort to live like children of God at all. It is truly heartbreaking. I wonder if I can turn it into fruit from now on, but the thought of hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit and living doesn't seem to want to eat at all.
But in the end, whether we like it or not, everyone must bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Those who have lived with the Holy Spirit within them must bring forth the fruit of the Holy Spirit. How he has lived his life of faith is a matter for his later life, and at the end of the day, it will be judged by whether he has the fruit of the Holy Spirit or not. For those who have lived according to the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit will bring forth the fruit of ‘righteousness’, and for those who have not lived according to the Spirit, the fruit of ‘unrighteousness (thistle)’ will be produced. The result is a fact that we all know well, even if we do not need to explain it.
All of us living in the last, apocalyptic era must cast aside “evil in any form. And from the center of my heart, I have to make an effort to ‘live according to the good’ of right conduct. Only then will my old customs die within me, and the kingdom of heaven will gradually expand, and the perfect fruit of the Holy Spirit will bear fruit. Then, when the Lord comes, you will see my perfect fruit and the Lord will collect me. In the name of the Lord, I pray that all of you, in the name of the Lord, live a life that is not tied to the world, and that you must live a life that is controlled by the Holy Spirit, and that you strive to bear the full fruit of the Holy Spirit.
