ARE YOU OUT OR INSIDE THE KINGDOM OF GOD?

   Are you near the Kingdom of God, or have you been transferred to Him? (Mr.12.34, Col.1.12-13). It is important not only to know the Door (Jn.10.9) but at least to have an idea of what it is like inside. Here is a "panoramic view":

   The divine kingdom or government was transferred from Israel to the followers of the Messiah (Mt.21.43; Lk.12.32) and is, like a tree (Mt.13.31-32), growing in our midst (Lk.17.21; Col.1.12 -13) so that through us (2-Co.1.20; He.13.21) His benefits (1-P.2.9) can be made evident from before his glorious fullness with the second personal manifestation of our King Savior in the Which will preliminarily depart from his kingdom to those who neither enter nor let in those who wish to do so; Likewise will happen with the infiltrates that openly or covertly served as a stumbling block and did iniquity (Mt.13.41).  

THE COLONIES OF THE KINGDOM

   Our Savior, as Lamb of God, made merits to be head of government in the divine plan of salvation or liberation for Humanity. Any human being, after sincere personal repentance, can become a member of the Body of Christ in order to give and receive benefits in his interaction with his fellow pilgrims (1-P 2, 11-12).

   The vocation of these communities, acting as colonies of the Kingdom of God, in search of an intimate and permanent relationship with the same Spirit of the Creator is the service to the other brothers; And since all these "colonies" have the same intentions the result is that in them there must be no "mistreatment" (He.13.3) or needy (Acts 4: 34-35).

   They recognize those who work in the administration of divine grace to perform well their functions, one of which is the equitable distribution (2.Co 8.13-15) of the material goods of these communities.

   For this reason they reject those who pretend selfishly, by means of trickery and sophistry, unjustly take possession of them or make improper use of them. They are mindful that they should not be accomplices of darkness (Eph.5.11) or participate in other people's sins (1Ti 5:22), because they already know the malice of the Adversary, and therefore do not give him place (2 Co.2.11 ; Eph.4.27).

   To denounce corruption and injustices in the kingdoms or governments of the world may be the product of rebellion; But within the people of God to rebuke conduct or conduct that goes against the principles of the Kingdom of the Messiah is an obligation, provided it is done under the parameters indicated in the Holy Scriptures (Mt. 18: 15-17).

   

VISION, PASSION AND DISCIPLINE

     The personal improvement seen from this approach is also a great way in which man can reach the sphere of the divine. And, just as from the conceptual or theoretical point of view, it is possible to achieve and achieve great goals in life, so God himself has set out from his Word, motivated by his immense love, to concretize his vision of salvation for humanity, Projecting his government into his own people, his devotees anywhere in the world.

  

   The sovereignty of this new regime with coverage in the communities of people who decide to accept and consolidate it is what is called the Kingdom of God.

   Our Savior wants his reign to be realized, to be evident to all at this stage of his development, similar to the growth of a tree (after having been transferred from Israel to his Church and before his future and glorious fullness).

  

   For this, it is necessary that his followers integrate with each other in an organized way, like the true members of his Body. For although the mere word is almost always "sweet to the palate," and the painful reality, it is through this (of reality), with which the people of God, "to proclaim the virtues of Him who called us Darkness to his marvelous light "(1-P.2.9).

   

    Our participation in the Kingdom, such as St. John's (Rev. 1: 9), must be active, for we must be THE CONTRIBUTORS of God (1Co.3.9), working for this great work (Col.4.11) "because all the promises Of God they are in him, and in him Amen, through us, to the glory of God "(2 Co.1.20).

   Our Savior wants us to have full and abundant lives (Jn.10.10). With "righteous deeds" (Rev. 19: 8) we will be "worthy of the Kingdom of God" (2 Thessalonians 1: 5) both now and in its fullness (Mt. 25:34).
