GENUINE PEOPLE OF GOD

   Divine sovereignty of our loving ruler will become evident among us only if we, people set apart by God and for God, (which is made up of all believers in Christ around the world), we obey the command of Jesus Christ expressed through St. Paul, not having commitments association with the common people, but only, of course, with the members of the Body of Christ.

   No Christian congregation could genuinely claim to be God's people does not obey the basic principle of unity in response to the sublime yearning of Jesus: "That all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us; so that the world may believe that you sent me. "(Jn.17.21).

   The command or principle of unity is expressed thus: "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers; for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God said, dwell and walk among them, and be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean; And I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

   "Therefore, beloved, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God" (2-Co. 6.14-18 and 7.1).

   Of course one should not confuse "associated" with "get together". Our Master Jesus spent time with sinners because he loved them and wanted good for them, but never associated with them. If the libertines, fornicators and people of the world are to benefit from this divine plan of liberation and abundant life, they must accept and welcome the sublime King Salvador in their hearts to be the legislate in their lives.

This system of government is the single most effective means with which we can eradicate the ailments that afflict humanity, for his first standard is love, love that leads to social justice, which leads in turn to equality (1-Co.8.13-15). This means redistribution of economic resources, development and human dignity, for those who read the Bible we know that the interest of our Saviour is not maintaining or promoting people, customs or inoperative and ineffective religions because Jesus said, "Herein is glorified my Father, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples "(Jn.15.8)

   It is a great blessing that we enjoy here in this life all the good and happiness possible, and we achieve full and permanent life even after leaving this earthly house.

TO DIE TO THE SIN

    All those who recognize God's plan of salvation for humanity (Jn.3.16-17), and accept the sovereignty of King Jesus in their lives are "called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (1-Co.1.2), for without holiness no one will see the Lord (He.12.14)

    The apostle Paul exhorts us: "... let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God" (2-Co.7.1). The word "holy" is the title of those who are, in their way of life, "set apart for God," who have "died to sin", thus being justified before God (Ro.6.7).

    "Die to sin" is not having the habit attitudes that go against the divine government. Anyone can have occasional errors and unpremeditated, which can be amended or corrected. Because as long as we humans live in the presence of sin, and we have to fight against his power. But when our sinful tendencies dominate us above our sincere desires to please God, it is clear indication that we are still "carnal" (1-Co.3.1-3), not born again in the Spirit of God.

WHAT IS THE TRUE CHURCH?

    The Church of Christ or universal Church is true as we believe in the truth of the Bible. What could better be questioned is how truthful a doctrine that can be conceived or interpreted. The Church is simply the set of all believers in Christ around the world, people chosen by God to announce his virtues, a holy nation among the unbelievers and unbelieving nations.

    The Church is the human part of the Kingdom of God which Jesus Christ wants the king to advance your project or plan of liberation or salvation for humans voluntarily to benefit from it. To do this, he promises to release all guilt of sin who accept him as Lord and King.

    Also, through the merits of his sacrifice, he offered to participate to the believer the gift or strength of the Holy Spirit so you can change your old nature of sin for a new produce good fruit, in addition to ensuring that through this new birth might enjoy a happy and abundant life even after his physical death.

    Then a Christian denomination can not therefore qualify as "major" or "sect", but rather as close to or far from the doctrinal principles of the Kingdom of God, on the understanding that the Kingdom of God is an integral system government, which in its current stage of increasing current manifestation is among us until it is freed from all "weeds" and the Lord make us formally handed over his kingdom in fullness.

    There are many principles that give life and identity to the people of God under the sovereignty of King Salvador. But there are some of them which, despite its immense importance not even named in the daily preaching. Examples are the principles of de facto integration, solidarity and service through mutual aid organized, and the socio-economic equality (2-Co.8.13-15).

    To avoid the implementation of these principles (mainly Contrary to the malicious handling of economic resources) is preferred to give a mystic but never practicality. But things are changing. Everything has its time.

    Just as there are people who are just looking to God in times of trouble, there are people who realize the extraordinary value that can have this divine system of government when they recognize and accept what implement not only in their private lives and personal but for the prosperity and development of their own community of Christian believers.

BY THEIR FRUITS

    The sublime Master left us a formula to identify the class of "trees" that we could "feed". In Luke 6.43-44 it is written: "No good tree bears bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit; For every tree is known by its fruit; do not pick figs from thorns are harvested, or grapes from briers.”

    Those who are deceived are not those who really love the truth and are willing to sacrifice for it, but the simple and mediocre carried away by his own desires and weaknesses, preferring others decide for them, as if I was a great comfort to think that alone they will not fall into the abyss. (Lk. 6.39)

    Some people, with good intentions and inadvertently (2-Ti 3.13-17) are not making nests in the leafy branches of the Kingdom of God (Matt 13.31-32) but are part of the thatch of trees not give good fruit are destined for the fire. (Mt 7.17-20).

THE SACRED TREE

    La Bible says that the Kingdom of God is like a tree that starting as a tiny seed becomes so largest, that even birds can do nest under its branches. But the Master was referring, undoubtedly, to sovereignty of his government in his own people, here on earth. His government was establishes and develops between us, and not in another dimension. It can not be in a different human dimension, because it is here, in us and among us that the Holy Spirit is doing the work, which aims to subject all government and to the authority of King Jesus (1- Co.15.24-26; Ap.11.15; Dn.7.13-14; Sal.2.7-9). It is here, amidst its Pueblo or Church in where also the Maligno infiltrates to his servants, that sometimes are left recognize by their rapacity, wickedness and foolishness, (Lc.11.39-40).

   

    It is here, among us, where the weeds clogging the noble purposes of our Savior comes as a pest. The Apostle Peter warned us: "But there were also false prophets among the people, as there shall be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed, and their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. On such a long time because of the condemnation it is not idle, and their destruction does not slumber "(2-P.2.1-3).

  In contrast, the Kingdom of God means righteousness and peace and joy for those who participate in it as "children of light", "because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us." (Ro.5.5)

     Most preachers today do not speak about it, as almost always themselves have not been able to "see" because their minds and hearts are flawed in ways that obscure their understanding for not being able to appreciate this great "gemstone" (Mt.13.45-46) and what is truly and might mean ... Like a real nation that shapes scattered around the world in small communities, but agree on the basics and in the same spirit of gratitude and praise, they can sincerely tell the world: "Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves "(Jn.14.11) because the same Master said:" You are the light of the world; A city set on a hill can not be hid. Not light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on a stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. "(Mt.5.14-16).

    

UNEQUALLY YOKED

    The people of Israel practiced this principle that kept him apart from the pagan nations (Lev 26.9-13;. Ez.38. 27-28). St. Paul states that Christians put it into play. In his dissertation (2-C0.6.14-18) refers not only to marriage or other religious faiths. There is no biblical basis for this claim. He speaks to the people of God as a holy nation, secluded 'to announce the praises of Him who called us out of darkness into his marvelous light "(1-P.2.9).

    A nation truly is when hoards a culture, in this case comes from applying all the principles and teachings of the Word of the Kingdom. And considering the culture of a people not only has to do with the marriage of their individuals or formats of worship. These two aspects are part of the culture of a people do not represent the whole of it. This is everything that integrates and identifies and develops.

    The people of God have the same origin, history and destiny that sets it as a nation, framed by their "national constitution", that is, the Holy Bible. All this would be impossible without unity. Jesus longed (Jn.17.21). This compares to the integration of all organs and members of one Body (the "mystical body" of Christ).

    If a believer must not have partnership commitments ("unequally yoked") with unbelievers, then, who must have them? Obviously, with the other members of the Christian community. This is biblical and realistic. Biased or malicious interpretations are no more than artificial, to distract or manipulate. This same principle of practical unity, more than just conceptual, inevitably lead us to other equally important principles that complement such as solidarity and equality.

    The commandment says: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness". But there can be no justice if there is no equality. There can be no equality if there is no solidarity. And there can be no effective and bountiful solidarity, if there is no proper integration and organization.

A LION FATHER OF WOLVES

     Did you know that the head of the wolves is a lion? Yes, certainly. The chief or father of these predators is known as the Roaring Lion. They walk looking for someone to devour sheep. Not by the Law of the Jungle, but according to the law of the funnel. They prefer to cegatonas and much wool sheep, and covertly worship the god Mammon (the god of wealth), but certainly these are not for the sheep (even if they are poor and go through many needs), but for one or more of these crafty cats who pull the strings of traps camouflaged dangerous religion.

    But there is one consolation: The vanities of wealth, prestige and power of this world are transient, but the truth is permanent. Someday will realize our actions, and the consequences will be very serious if not timely amend our way.

    Solution: "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name Thy Kingdom Come Outside us false religion.!" What is the Kingdom of God? Investigate and discover the great value it has. His truth will create a life of meaning and purpose.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

    Participants in the Kingdom of God, whose set is called the Church of Christ, we were convinced reorient our lives to good and truth through this great project that our Eternal Father designed for Humanity, this wonderful divine system of government comprehensive, through which we can come to have happy, full lives of purpose and meaning.

   We believe the Bible is the only and sufficient revealed truth, and that through repentance we can be freed from our guilt of sin before God, as well as receive as a gift the very presence of the Holy Spirit to us and in us we can develop and exercise the early life of this always progressive and indestructible kingdom. We believe it is our duty to give effect to the sublime longing of our Savior that his followers are really united as members of one body, truly integrated as a chosen people, a holy nation (Jn.17.21; one-Co.12.27; 1-P.2.9).

   For this reason, we must, if we come together with everyone, make commitments only association with the other members of the "household of faith" (2-Co.6.14-18), so we can serve and help each other, being thus useful to our king Jesus, through solidarity with his people, for which he allowed himself to be humiliated and tortured to death. "So, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those of the household of faith" (Gá.6.10).

OUR KINGDOM IN GROWTH

   The Kingdom of God is current and growing between us, Christians, consciously or not partake of it, either as "good seed" or "weeds". God gives us gifts and talents to work in his work, and will realize it.

   For this reason, and to avoid contamination, we must, according to 2-Co.6.14-18; 7.1, partnering with ordinary people, but with members of the Body of Christ, to extol the virtues of this growing, indestructible and wonderful kingdom, where the blessed God exercises sovereignty of his government in his own people, his holy nation. So, not religion, Yes, the Kingdom  of God.

   "That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men in their deceitful craftiness the wiles of error, but speaking the truth in love, we may grow up in all things into Him who is the head that is, Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by every supporting ligament help each other, according to the proper working of each individual part, grows and builds itself in love "(Ef.4.13-16 ).

   "So there is no division in the body, but that all members have the same care for one another. So if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular "(1-Co.12.25-27).

IT DIVIDES AND YOU WILL WIN

    The cunning enemy of our souls has a beginning has given much result: "Divide and conquer." As a result there are hundreds and hundreds of Christians called sects or groups. Each privileged to be the sole possessor of truth fights, though he can not demonstrate in real life.

    The only way that exists to achieve unity of God's people, loyal to his word, is not through the truth of the particular individuals or groups, but through common reality. The biblical basis for this is the commandment of the Savior himself, expressed by St. Paul in 2-Co.6.14-18, lest we associate with common people but with other believers, and so we get to be as integrated as members the same body as the body of Christ, namely, the true Church.

    "That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men in their deceitful craftiness the wiles of error, but speaking the truth in love, we may grow up in all things into Him who is the head that is, Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by every supporting ligament help each other, according to the proper working of each individual part, grows and builds itself in love. "(Ef.4.14-16)

    "That there should be no schism in the body, but that all members have the same care for one another. So if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. "(1-Co.12.25-27)

OUR RESPONSIBILITY

    One of the many gifts that God gave to the "called" (Mt.24.14) and which obviously will have to answer is the performance of leadership positions. Perhaps many have already read and meditated on the 34th chapter of Ezekiel, and what the apostle Paul said at Miletus before their final farewell to the leaders of that church (Hch.20.17-35), and avoid then they are taken as those merchants of faith that godliness is a means of gain. (Tit. 1.11).

   The joy of those who work in the "Lord's vineyard" (Kingdom of God) to achieve real and full establishment in this unfortunate and rampant world will be infinite, if we have to give up all selfish claim of individual enrichment, misuse power, and desires for personal prestige (Mt 6.13).

    Remember also that "that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not he, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few; For everyone to whom much is given, much is required; and to whom much has been entrusted, more will be asked. "(Lk. 12.47-48)

ACTIVE AGENT OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD

   Jesus Christ "gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works." (Tit.2.14). This special people who live under the rule of God's government is in charge of announcing its virtues.

   The Bible states: "You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." (2-P.2.9). Unfortunately, the open rebellion or indolent indifference to the will of Jesus Christ, they try to make the glory of God in His people is a mere chimera. But blessed Lamb's sacrifice not be in vain, because these Holy Scriptures are not cheap rhetoric to dream impossible.

  

   The Lord says: "For as descended from the heavens the rain and snow, and do not return there but water the earth, and maketh it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall it be my word that goes forth from my mouth; It shall not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. "(Is.55.10-11)

   The Lamb of God has already done his work. He himself said, "(Father), I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world was. "(Jn.17.4-5).

   Hebrews 10.12-13 says, "But Christ had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, sat down at the right hand of God, from that time waiting until his enemies be made his footstool."

     At this point, we wonder: What if Jesus and did what he had to do, and now sits beside his father waiting for his enemies to be submitted, how, then, is the real and effective sovereignty of his kingdom will be developed here among us? This we understand when we realize the truth of the following scriptures: "... In the last days, saith the Lord, I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh ... and whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Acts. 2.17, 21); "... You will receive power when you come upon you the Holy Spirit, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." (Hch.1.8); "And Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For to you is the promise, and to your children, and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God shall call. "(Hch.2.38-39)

   So we can well understand that it is the Holy Spirit in us and through us, which is responsible for doing the work. "For all the promises of God in him they are yea, and in him Amen, by us, to the glory of God." (2-Co.1.20).

   Carefully read the parable of the ten (Lc.17.11-27) mines to better understand this good news, "that Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts, so that, rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses all understanding, and be filled with the fullness of God, to him who is able to do all things more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever, amen. "(Ef.3.17- 21).

  We are conscious of our responsibility in the management of the gifts and talents that the same Savior provided for us to participate in His work. As collaborators of God, we must work for his Kingdom, (1-Co.3.9; Col.4.11). The results of the sovereignty of the Kingdom of God among us will be evident here in its current stage of growth, and more in its fullness, when the anointed "deliver the kingdom to the God and Father after he has destroyed all dominion, all authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. "(1-Co.15.24-25).

IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD AN EMOTIONAL STATE?

   It is inconsistent the  assertion that argues that the Kingdom of God is just an emotional state. Jesus told the Pharisees words that some versions of the Bible translate: "The kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17.21, Nacar- Colunga.).

  

 Did Jesus want to say that the God's Kingdom was in the wicked heart of those corrupt men, whom he itself had treated as lads, bad(wrong) and stupid? Certainly  that not. (Lc.11.39-40) A more exact translation of the original Greek, is: “The God's kingdom is between you " (version Reina-Valera). So that Jesus, who was in the middle of them, was referring to himself  in his king's function. The coverage of the God's Kingdom is not alone internal and individual, but external and social, beginning for the same family nucleus and being perfected in a special community called Church or people of God.
