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).
