The Progress of God’s Kingdom in the New Testament : The Kingdom of God Session 10

In our previous session, we learned about the people of God’s kingdom, including both Christ himself and his church. In this session, we’ll consider Christ’s teaching about the progress of God’s kingdom. This teaching was so radical in the first century that most Jews rejected it - and him. Jesus explained that he was bringing the last stage of God’s kingdom to the earth, but in a way that no one expected. Rather than suddenly transforming the entire world into the kingdom of God, he declared that the kingdom would unfold over a long period of time. He would inaugurate the last stage of the kingdom in his earthly ministry, it would continue to grow throughout the history of the church, but the kingdom would come in its fulness only when he returned in glory.

This series is a delight to study and I look forward to an opportunity to share it with others. The format of the lessons works so well! It's inviting in tone, clear about the details, and prepared with care for the purpose: "This kingdom will not fail." As a Christian of many years, some of this was review, but I was also hazy about several points that were brought into the light. This study has encouraged and emboldened me. Thank you and God bless you.

It is time we learn who we are to depend on. To learn how to get our Lord Jesus Christ to help us win this war. We must 'do' The Word. Not just read, or just study, but apply what the wisdom God teaches us. It will be the Christians of the world that will "put on" Jesus that will beat the evil of this world. America cannot make it without Her God.
May we introduce Jesus to those who do not yet know Him.
Psalms 119:151
Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.
Jesus is The Word, John 1:1-5
The Word God spoke: Exodus 20:1 (His Spirit)
The Word God wrote: Deuteronomy 4:13(His Covenant)
and The Word God made flesh John 1:14 (Jesus).
He is our example of The Trinity. He is The Law that hung on the cross and The Law that is written in the heart.
Psalms 40:7
Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me
Hebrews 10:7
Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
By "keeping" God's voice, Jesus' voice as directed in Deut.6:8-9 we are armed with the voice of God, the law and testimony that will help us through the coming days.
We do not work for our salvation, Jesus died and saved the world. But we can work for our protection from the plagues, those coming to steal, kill, and destroy, from deception, to keep a sound mind etc.,for life. There is nothing wrong with works for we are judged on our works. Faith without works is dead. Why would Jesus tell us to pray for workers, if no work is to be done? There is much wisdom in the O.T. just as there is in the N.T..
Our plea to all is to PUT ON LIFE. Let our faith work for us. Jesus, The Son is the seal of God, His Word, His Ten Commandments. He is your anointing, get in Christ. Remember, heart, mind and soul, not just the heart. Turn your faith into a verb and shine the Light. May we learn to 'live' by every Word of God with all that we are, heart, mind and soul. The armour of Light is found throughout the Scripture, this is only the beginning. Remember, all things are possible in Him.
Many who sit in pews can spread the gospel, if only they were told how to help their own families, friends and neighbours. To protect and give life to all we know and love. May we open our eyes and minds to accept Jesus as The Word. To spread The Word in both speech and in deed. May we all walk, dwell, and do all we do in Jesus. Don't let evil, the world, overtake our loved ones, our Nation. He will fight for us. He will unite His people. The Law can save us from much more, for He is our miracle worker. Jesus saved us from our sins and now that He is Spirit, our High Priest, and King He can do much more. Walk in Him. We don't need organized religion, we need The Word of God. We need obedience to God and the love of Jesus, our law and testimony.
