Title: The Kingdom of Jesus Christ
Contents
The kingdom of the world is a physical kingdom, and the kingdom of Jesus Christ is a spiritual kingdom. The kingdom of this world is a disgraceful kingdom, a corrupt kingdom, and a kingdom of darkness, but the kingdom of Jesus Christ is a glorious kingdom, an incorruptible kingdom, a kingdom of light, and the kingdom of God.
For this reason, the kingdom of Jesus Christ cannot be seen or entered without being born again of God. That is why Jesus Christ Himself said in the Bible, "...Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3).
God sent His Son Jesus into the world in the body of sinful flesh, so that the children of the flesh received Jesus, and the old world and the old man were crucified together with Jesus, and the kingdom of God together with Jesus Christ, who was raised from the dead. in order to inherit it.
Therefore, God granted the forgiveness of sins through the blood of Jesus for His children who were carnal and who were bound to death through sin, and were born again of God, perfecting the image of Christ, so that they may enter the kingdom of Jesus Christ as holy children.
Therefore, concerning the day when the kingdom of Jesus Christ was to be established, the Bible testified in advance, “And I saw new heavens and a new earth, and the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and the sea was no more” (Revelation 21:1). The day of the Lord will come like a thief, and in that day the heavens will depart with a loud noise, the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and everything that is on it will be revealed. With faith and reverence, look forward to the coming of the day of God, and yearn for it. On that day the heavens will be burned and dissolved, and the elements will be melted with scorching fire, but just as he promised, we look forward to new heavens and new earth in which righteousness dwells ’ (2 Peter 3:10-13).
In this way, if you do not put off the world and me who belong to this world on the cross, it will have nothing to do with the kingdom of Jesus Christ. No matter how many times you have prophesied and performed many miracles in the name of Jesus, unless you are born again of God, you will never inherit the kingdom of Jesus Christ.
Therefore, the Lord Jesus said, “Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the will of my Father who is in heaven. Have you not cast out demons in your name, and have performed many mighty works in your name? At that time I will say to them clearly, “I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness” (Matthew 7:21-23). that you testified.
Wherefore, if anyone wants to enter the kingdom of Jesus Christ, the kingdom of God, it is written, “...I have nothing to boast about except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I also To the world” (Galatians 6:14) has become a reality through faith in Christ Jesus, and we must put off the old man and put on the new man, which is Christ.
This visible kingdom is temporary, and the invisible kingdom is eternal. Indeed, the children of God who will dwell with Christ in that kingdom, the kingdom of Jesus Christ, are the joy of God, the glory of Christ, and the eternally blessed and blessed people of God.
“The redeemed of the Lord will return and come into Zion with singing, and everlasting joy will be upon their heads, and they will find joy and gladness, and sorrow and groaning will flee away” (Isaiah 51:11) Amen, thank you Lord.
