What do you believe is meant by Kingdom Living?
I am thankful for the dialogue. The Kingdom of God is being discussed, and the public is listening and watching.
I think we fail to realize that Jesus has all AUTHORITY, in HEAVEN and on Earth, and therefore POTENTIAL is wasted. We must discover our Identity while dwelling in this crazy world.
GOD is LIGHT which is reflected to our Mind based upon the impurities within our heart. Our soul ought be consciously aware of this connection. GOD is Wisdom.
Matthew 3:2, KJV: And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. We repent from unbelief and dead works Unto faith toward God, then we are translated from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light! (1 Corinthians 12:13). All believers are already in the kingdom! How? By grace through faith in Christ and HIS PERFECT work! Not ours! Ephesians 2:8-10. BIBLE BULLETIN Who THE SON sets free…. is FREE INDEED! We must rest in the Spirit and not work in the flesh! John 8:36. It is Paramount as believers: THE SAINTS—truly understand (in order to walk in victory: Ephesians 6:10-18 & Ephesians 6:12) our spiritual POSITION IN JESUS CHRIST once born again by grace through faith. See 1 Corinthians 12:13. Those in Christ by grace through faith in the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) have already achieved the following by the power and grace OF GOD! See Ephesians 2:8–10, Titus 3:5–7, Isaiah 64:6, 1 Corinthians 1:30. Believers have been born again in the Spirit by grace through faith forever, and sealed forever unto the day of redemption! The Holy Spirit lives inside us forever! 1 Corinthians 12:13, 1 Corinthians 6:17, John 3:5, Ephesians 4:30. Believers have been saved, positional sanctification and justification (1 Corinthians 6:11) are being saved, spiritual maturity (1 Corinthians 1:18, Hebrews 6:1) from glory to glory and will be saved, or glorification in heaven with the Lord! Romans 5:9, 1 John 3:2. Believers are a NEW creation in Christ! (2 Corinthians 5:17). Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Believers no longer walk in darkness or the flesh— but now they forever walk in light and Spirit: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: See Colossians 1:13, Romans 8:1, Ephesians 4:30. Believers have already been justified and sanctified or set apart from the world by grace through faith, (See 1 Corinthians 6:11, Romans 3:20–26, 2 Corinthians 5:21)! Believers already been forgiven for sins (we are dead to sin and alive in Christ, Colossians 2:13, Ephesians 1:7 & 4:32, Romans 6:11) by grace through faith in the WORK OF THE CROSS! 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, John 6:29. Believers have already been delivered from the eternal consequences of sin by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. (See 1 Corinthians 15:1–4, Romans 6:23, John 3:16-18, Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 3:5–7.Believers have already repented! Repentance for ETERNAL SALVATION IS When we repent ONCE from UNBELIEF & dead works Towards faith in God: (SEE 2 TIMOTHY 2:25 & HEBREWS 6:1) unto BELIEF in Jesus Christ! If you have FAITH in Jesus Christ (The gospel first Corinthians 15:1-4) then you have repented!!! From what? Unbelief and DEAD works unto faith in Jesus Christ!! ________________The word repent, defined: it comes from the GREEK word:Metanoia meaningMeta=changeNoia=mind"Change of mind"The Bible also tells us that true repentance will result in a change of actions (Luke 3:8–14; Acts 3:19). In summarizing his ministry, Paul declares, “I preached that they should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds” (Acts 26:20). The full biblical definition of repentance is a change of mind. ________________The connection between repentance and salvation: The book of Acts especially focuses on repentance in regard to salvation (Acts 2:38; 3:19; 11:18; 17:30; 20:21; 26:20). To repent, in relation to salvation, is to change your mind regarding sin and Jesus Christ. In Peter’s sermon on the day of Pentecost (Acts chapter 2), he concludes with a call for the people to repent (Acts 2:38). Repent from what? Peter is calling the people who rejected Jesus (Acts 2:36) to change their minds about that sin and to change their minds about Christ Himself, recognizing that He is indeed “Lord and Christ” (Acts 2:36). Peter is calling the people to change their minds, to abhor their past rejection of Christ, and to embrace faith in Him as both Messiah and Savior! AFTER we are saved, we will be enabled (empowered) to turn from sin by the power of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:17), however we must understand that believers will not reach sinless perfection until we are Glorified in heaven with the Lord! Colossians 3:4, Romans 3:23. I proclaim again: Who THE SON sets free, is FREE indeed! We must receive it by GRACE THROUGH FAITH! Amen!Romans 4:5-8, Romans 3:20-26, Ephesians 2:8-10, Acts 16:31, Galatians 2:16, Romans 8:2, John 3:16.
Living the abundant life that Jesus died to give…highly favored and greatly blessed and deeply loved…going back to Eden!
Living heaven on earth in this life…it means we have a different economy than that of the world, because we’re in the world but not of the world…
