THE KINGDOM OF GOD

When the Bible speaks about “The Kingdom Of God”, it refers to life in this world itself where a person, through being born again, gets a new life. What does being in the Kingdom Of God mean? First of all, it means that this great, mighty, omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient God, creator and controller of everything that exists, has a personal love relationship with you! He who can see everything from an infinite perspective leads you and guides you in your walk here on earth. He, who is pure Spirit, communicates with your spirit that is made in His own image (Genesis 1:27). In your spirit, you can experience His love and love Him in return. In your spirit you can worship Him and experience the highest form of satisfaction and fulfillment, because it was for this purpose that you were created. Belonging to The Kingdom of God and worshiping Him in your spirit assures you of everlasting life in Heaven.
In John 3:1-21, Jesus explains to Nicodemus, a Pharisee and ruler of the Jews, the necessity of being born again in order to enter the Kingdom of God. In verse 16 Jesus tells him about the ultimate reward of belonging to the Kingdom: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son (meaning Himself), that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
In John 8: 31&32, we read, “Jesus said to those Jews who believed, ‘If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” In John 14:6, Jesus tells Thomas that He himself is the Truth. So if you live according to the words that Jesus has spoken without compromise (abide in His word), you will come to know Jesus in a most personal way and He who is the Truth, will set you free. Free from what?
1. From sickness (Isaiah 53:5)
2. From the curse of being condemned (Romans 8:1)
3. From bondages cast by Satan and his demons that enslave people in various ways, causing much suffering and distress.
So if Jesus speaks to your heart today, calling you out of the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God, do not hesitate to respond to Him. He will fill your heart with peace, joy and love.
