BUT IF THE KINGDOM IS HERE, WHY THERE SO MUCH INJUSTICE?

   Some will ask: If the God's Kingdom is in force, why does so much injustice, evilness and suffering exist? Someone might answer, and deservedly: “It happens so much for the evilness and injustice of the wicked ones, since  also for the nonchalance, disorganization and lack of solidarity of so called good or just.

   The Messiah said: "These things I have spoken to that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; But take heart! I have overcome the world "(Jn.16.33) Although God's Kingdom is now in full swing, and the Holy Spirit is doing the work in and through its participants, though the devil himself was given permission to act within it, through which call themselves "brothers" are evil, negligent and useless. (Mt 13.41; 7.23; 25.26,30), or simply are "stumbling blocks" that neither make nor let them do (Mt 23.13).

   "We spoke a parable saying, The kingdom of God or heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and left. And when he left the grass and brought forth fruit, then he appeared the tares. Then came the servants of the householder and said, Lord, did you not sow  good seed in your field? Whence then hath  it  tares? He said to them: An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? He told them: No, lest gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together and until the harvest; and the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

   Explanation of the parable: he who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom, and the tares are the children of the wicked. The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the century; and the reapers are angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so shall it be at the end of this century. He sent the Son of Man to his angels and gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity, and cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

   For the kingdom of God or heaven it is like a dragnet that was cast into the lake and caught all kinds of fish; and once full, they drew to shore; and sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. That will be the end of the century: the angels will come and separate the wicked from among the just, and cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. "(Matthew 13.24-30; 37-43; 47-50)

OF WHAT THE CHRISTIAN ARE SAVED?

   Many preachers nowadays do not even speak it brings over of the God's Kingdom, but yes they speak frequently about salvation, word which meaning is ignored or distorted by some, and manipulated by others. I have here, so, of what the God's plan consists for the salvation of the humanity, in his three fundamental aspects:

·   When we believe the “word of the kingdom " (Mt13.19), and penitents we recognize ourselves sinners and accept the God's sovereignty, receive then the pardon of all our committed lacks (mistakes). (" This one is the agreement that I will do with them, after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts and in their minds I will write them. He adds: and nevermore I will remember their sins and transgressions " (Are 10.16-17). East is, so, the first aspect of this plan of salvation, the pardon of all our committed sins.

·   About The second aspect of the above mentioned plan one speaks enough in the Romans' eighth chapter. God not only wants to excuse our sins but He wants to save us from the curse from the sin of Adam,  our sinners' human condition for nature (Ro 5.12-21). This revival " to live in the Spirit " only is achieved by our free disposition in accepting the direction of his word and the strength of his Spirit. To die to the sin justifies us before God (Ro 6.1-14), being it also it demonstrates of that hisSpirit dwells in us, (Ro 8.9) by virtue of which also us the right is guaranteed to the eternal or permanent life. (Ro.8.11; 6.22)..

No power or work humanizes it could have saved us neither from the guilt of our sins, nor from the curse of the inheritance(heredity) adánica from our sinners' irreversible condition, but only for the love of the Eternal Father, in the merits of his Son Jesus, his immolated Lamb and for the strength  from the Holy Spirit. To obtain this grace nothing we had to do with the exception of preparing to receive this undeserved gift. “For that for grace you are safe by means of the faith; and this not of you, since it is a gift of God; not for works, in order that nobody gloríe ". (Ef 2.8-9).

     Summarizing: Who we recognized and accepted the Work of our Salvador Jesus, we are liberated of our guilt of sin. Also, having purified our souls for the obedience to the truth, by means of the Spirit, (I-P 1.22) we are safe or liberated " of the law of the sin and of the death ", that is to say, of his predominance in our lives " Because if you live in conformity with the meat, you will die; but if for the Spirit you make die the works of the meat, you will live. " (Ro.8.1-17) Of the presence of the sin we will liberate ourselves only with the death and / or resurrection, but always we must fight against his power in order that it does not hinder the God's sovereignty in our individual lives and of community. (Ro.6.12).

·

    These first two aspects can summarize in Hch.2,38: " Repent, and be baptized each of you in the name of Jesus Christ for pardon of the sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit ". Paradoxically, the third aspect of this Plan consists NOT of that one of what we could be safe, but in that one of which we cannot be liberated, and is our responsibility in the managing of the talents and gifts that God granted us to take part of his work. This one is the third fundamental aspect of this sublime plan of salvation for the Humanity.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD BETWEEN OURSELVES IT IS

When we listen to the expression " God's Kingdom " the first thing that we think is in the life after the death, under the perfect and future government of the loving Creator, where it( anyone will not have time if not for the leisure and the contemplation, you free of any need, obligation and suffering. Maybe manage to be like that, or slightly similar. But the certain thing is that the Bible teaches that God from a beginning has wanted to exercise sovereignty on an own proper people.

    Initially he chose Israel's nation for the above mentioned intention: " Now, so, if you will give ear to my voice, and you will guard my agreement, you will be my special exchequer on all the peoples; because mine it is the whole Earth. And you  will be a priests' kingdom, and holy people. These are the words that you will say to the children of Israel " (Ex-. 19.5-6). The earthly Israel had, so, the exclusive privilege of being the people of God, away of the corruption and paganism of other nations of the world. 

  

 But with the time it they demonstrated not to be worthy of so big dignity. Many years this people lived under the sovereignty of the Eternal one, and in consequence his their national unit and independence preserved as State.    Nevertheless to move away from God they transported a great division of  their  kingdom, beside time being submitted after time to pagan foreign powers. From the exile they cried out God for liberation, and this one promised across  their  prophets, to send them a liberating king who they was returning the national independence with their full freedom of worship to the real God.

   These " guests to the great dinner " (Lc. 14. 15-24) rejected their  promised Salvador (Jn. 1.11-13). They were waiting for a great leader politician - military man (Jn 6.14-15); but instead of it they found the humble son of a carpenter raised in a people  of bad  reputation (Lc. 4.16; Jn. 1.46), speaking of loving the enemies (Mt 5.43-48), and saying that their  kingdom was not of this world (Jn 18.36). 

   They neither understood it nor accepted it. But I disdain this one on the part of many Jews also were doing part of the great divine program of redemption; and the Anointed one of the Gentleman, with his martyrdom, was constituted at the top legitimate of this new government, already not earthly and geographically, but spiritually and unlimited. Because of it Jesus said to the Jews: " The God's kingdom will be removed of you, and it will be given to people who produces

    Later on the Messiah said to his followers: " do not be afraid, small herd, because to your Father the placid one you is to give the kingdom " (Lc. 12.32).

    Before the incredulity of those who were listening to it, Jesus they declared: " if I for the God's Spirit throw out the demons, certainly the God's kingdom has come to you " (Mt. 12.28).   " Asked about the pharisees, when the God's kingdom had to come, he answered to them and said: The God's kingdom will not come with warning, they nor will say: Helo here, or helo there; because is here the God's kingdom there is between (among) you " (Lc 17.20-21). The apostle Paul understood, accepted and shared with happiness this truth: " ... on pleasure meeting thanks to the Father who made us suitable to take part of the heredity of the saints in light; which(who) has freed us of the legal authority of the glooms and moved to the kingdom of his dear Son " (It) (Seep 1.12-13) .He was hapy to take part in the God's Kingdom, and for it it was working for its development. (It) (seep 4.11) " The law and the prophets were up to Juan; since then the God's kingdom is announced, and they all strain for entering it. " (Lc 16.16)

   There can inform of this kingdom all those who, not with the soberbia of the self-sufficiency, but with the humility typical of the children (Lc 18.17), accept that alone to our blessed Salvador the kingdom belongs(concerns) " the power and the glory " (Mt 6.13).

   But to take part in this Kingdom does not mean to benefit from it selfishly, but to turn of fact and really partly of the same "Body", in members of the God's holy nation: " Mas you are select lineage, real priesthood, holy nation, people acquired by God, in order that you announce the virtues of that one that called you from the glooms to his admirable light " (I-P.2.9). We might speak, so, according to everything seen, of longing the national integration of the People of God, under the sublime Government of our blessed King Savior.
