About The King
When I was baptized I attended some Bible studies. They were all about “our beliefs” and nothing about Christ. The Kingdom of God is not about Adventism. Nor is it about Christianity. It’s not about being able to operate in the gifts of the Spirit. It’s not even about morality. The book of Galatians was penned to liberate and empower those who had begun in the Spirit and were reverting to the law. We either live in Christ or we live in religion. If you are living in religion the last sentence will be making you mad. If Christ is your life you will be at peace. You will also be advancing into the fullness of Christ.
“He shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all [ye] workers of iniquity” Luke 13.27 KJV.
The Kingdom of God is about the King. It is about worshiping God’s Son Jesus: You in Him and He in you. This is not accomplished by assent to beliefs but by the Spirit – the Spirit of Christ around and in you. Unless we get this we will become progressively wooden, estranged from the Father and eventually anti-Christ. It would be sad to be among those unable to distinguish between themselves and God. To advance His Kingdom we need to be among those who are known and authorized by Christ. The Kingdom of God is populated by the sons of God – people who live in the Spirit and for whom Christ is their life.
‘Those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God’ Romans 8.14 NIV.
NB. One definition of iniquity is the propagation of religion in the name of God and in place of God.
