a right relationship with
God & others
God is inviting you into His kingdom.
But, what is the kingdom of God?
Here are FOUR elements of the kingdom of God that are easy to understand:
◢KING◣
1.
Jesus is the King:
“Jesus answered, ‘You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.’”
📖 John 18:37
◢CREATOR◣
2.
You’re in Jesus’ territory:
“Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty! For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is Yours. Yours is the kingdom, Yahweh, and And, you are exalted as Head above all! Now therefore, our God, we thank you and praise your glorious name.”
📖 1 Chronicles 29:11-13
◢LOYALTY◣
to the KING
3.
Jesus’ Disciples are citizens:
“So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but And, you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God, being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone; in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.”
📖 Ephesians 2:19-22
◢LAWGIVER◣
4.
Jesus’ commands are the laws:
“If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full. This is My commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.”
📖 John 15:10-12
So, just as kingdoms of this earth have a king, land, citizens, and laws,
so it is with the kingdom of God.
But God's kingdom is the greatest of all kingdoms.
Jesus is called, “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”
(Revelation 19:16)
And best of all,
you are invited into God's kingdom:
Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. (Luke 19:10)
That is you. He came to find you and bring you into His kingdom.
Here is a summary of how Peter describes it in the book of Acts:
God doesn’t show favoritism;
but in every nation he who fears Him
and works righteousness is acceptable to Him.
We're preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ
—He is Lord of all—
After the baptism which John preached,
God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power.
Jesus went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil,
for God was with Him.
The disciples were witnesses of everything He did
both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem.
They killed Jesus, hanging Him on a tree.
God raised Jesus up the third day
and gave Him to be revealed,
not to all the people,
but to witnesses who were chosen before by God,
the disciples,
who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead.
Jesus commanded them to preach to the people
and to testify that Jesus is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.
All the prophets testify about Jesus,
that through His name
everyone who believes in Him
will receive remission of sins.
(See Acts 10:34-43)
Again:
Please t↺rn to Jesus & accept He is Lord!
Believe in Jesus and receive remission of sins.
Finally, some verses to encourage
a prayerful SEEKING of God:
“…You shall seek Yahweh your God, and you will find Him when you search after Him with all your heart 🧡 and with all your soul. When you are in oppression, and all these things have come on you, in the latter days you shall return to Yahweh your God and listen to His voice.”
📖 Deuteronomy 4:29-30
“If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, pray, seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
📖 2 Chronicles 7:14
“You shall call on Me, and you shall go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You shall seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart 🧡.”
📖 Jeremiah 29:12-13a
“‘Yet even now,’ says Yahweh, ‘turn to Me with all your heart 🧡, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.’ Tear your heart and not your garments, and turn to Yahweh, your God; for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in
loving kindness and relents from sending calamity.”
📖 Joel 2:12-13
“Seek Yahweh while He may be found. Call on Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to Yahweh, and He will have mercy on him, to our God, for He will freely pardon.”
📖 Isaiah 55:6-7
“Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well”
📖 Matthew 6:31-33
“[God] made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwellings, that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.”
📖 Acts 17:26-27
“Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will exalt you.”
📖 James 4:7-10
Conclusion:
Seek first God’s kingdom!
