KINGDOM OF GOG AND KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD

It is clear that no earthly government gives priority to what the Bible says God willing in the ethical management of human affairs. "And as they did not consider God, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do things which are not convenient" (Ro.1.28). So you want your own people and nation that honors. The Bible clearly teaches that the kingdoms or governments of the world are not part of the Kingdom of God, he allows but does not share, (John 19.10-11) and (Rom. 13.1-6), for "the whole world lieth in wickedness" (1 Jn.5.19) because ordinary people remains "followed the ways of this world and of the ruler the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience "(Eph 2.2). Jesus himself said: "I will not talk much with you; for the ruler of this world, and hath nothing in me. "(Jn. 14:30)

  

    Someone might argue that the apostle Paul declares that all authority comes from God, according to Rom. 13.1-5. But always to correctly understand Scripture is first you should stick to context. Si thought this was all the apostles in Jerusalem would not have continued preaching the word of the kingdom, because the city authorities ordered them not to. But what they said? "Whether it is right before God to obey you rather than God" (Hch.4.17-19)

   

    The Lord allows but does not share these governments, let alone when they are unjust and oppressive. His kingdom does not work according to the schemes of this wicked world. His kingdom has no human boundaries since "God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation who fear him and do justice." (Hch.10.34-35) is the holy people of God, that can be dispersed, must never be disengaged, objectively talking.

  

    Referring to one of these governments, he said: "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar (the government of the Roman Empire), and to God what is God's" (Mt 22.21) "And the devil took him to a high mountain, and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the earth. And the devil said: "To you I will give all this authority and their glory; because to me it was given to me, and whoever I give it. If you worship me, all shall be thine. Jesus answered and said, "Get thee behind me, Satan, for it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him" (Luke 4.5-8).

   

    This temptation Jesus had permanently have many human beings acquire, through service to a state, wealth, power and prestige, even by legal means and by more or less ethical reasons. For a Christian it is really important to serve his King Jesus, allowing govern their personal, family and social life, as the party is holy nation. So, without being unfair to the real intention of its sovereign Jesus, you can do good   to all, but especially to those of the household of faith (Gá.6.10). We have very present the "noble man," Jesus Christ, who was given a kingdom (lc.22.29), and return to give an inheritance to those who either used the resources he gave them to work in his work (Mt. 25.34; Lc.19.12-27); so it is much better than just serve the Lord in the newness of the Holy Spirit (Ro.6.7), and so we can reap abundant fruit in this life and forever.
