Fresh From God
Topic: The kingdom of God II(Discipleship, Eschatology)
John 3:5 KJV
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Kingdom can be literarily analyzed as "king's-domain" which means the territory of the king's authority. So we were created by God to increase His kingdom, the territory of His dominion and power.
Genesis 1:28 KJV
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
The creation of man has to do with establishment of God's kingdom on earth, so man was created in the image and likeness of the High King of Heaven. Then given instructions to subdue and dominate, that's the kingdom simplified.
1 Corinthians 4:20 KJV
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
The kingdom of God also connotes an environment free from evil, hence peaceful and godly.
Romans 14:17 KJV
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
So no one can see or experience the kingdom of God except he is born again.
There are other references to the kingdom of God, indicating the coming kingdom, maybe the millennial reign of Christ or the kingdom of heaven. But the immediate reference refers to the dominion of the power of Christ here on earth which leads to the hope of heaven. Jesus told His disciples not to make such earthly dominion their source of joy, but they should rejoice in their names being written in heaven.
Luke 10:20 KJV
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
Judas was among the people Jesus said this to, but did he make it into heaven?
Manifestation of the kingdom power on earth is a proof that we are potential citizens of the kingdom but our daily, constant washing of water by God's word and renewal of our spirit man guarantees our placement in heaven.
