The Kingdom of
God was transferred from earthly Israel to spiritual Israel, the Church,
through which it grows and develops until its full establishment, when the
tares have been removed, and our Savior renders it to the Church, As an
inheritance prepared from the beginning of the world for his own people, who
are counted worthy of this Kingdom for the service they render to their
brethren in the family of faith (Matt. 25: 31-46).
However, the
growth among us of the Kingdom of God or the consolidation of divine
sovereignty among those called to participate in this "new regime of the
Spirit" (Ro. 7: 6) is often obstructed by certain customs or attitudes
that clash with The truly salvific character of this unsurpassed and
unsurpassable integral plan of liberation that the Creator proposes for human
beings.
Some of the
ideas or attitudes that hinder the development of this noble purpose of the
Savior are, for example:
A) To believe that expressions such as
"body of Christ" or "holy nation" are merely literary
adornments, and That in truth the unity that the Messiah longs for (Jn.17.21)
must be conceived only with the imagination or with noble intentions, but
nothing more.
B) To think
that the Kingdom of God is only something individual and emotional, something
like the crutches used by people who can not stand for themselves.
C) Believing
that Christian salvation consists only in people attending Some temple or
building to sing, pray and listen to biblical discourses.)
D) Suppose that it is the "sheep" that
must provide for the "shepherds", not the other way around. (Acts 20:
17-38, 2-Co.12.14-15) With these and many other tricks is the Prince of this
world, through his servants, trying to distort what is in reality constituted
as the most powerful means for Salvation of humanity.
