| #indent The Gospel of the Kingdom is Salt. Its purpose is to Transform man's existence by giving him EternalLife and AbundantLife.
Repentance is followed by Forgiveness followed by Regeneration followed by SpiritBaptism followed by Discipleship followed by Fruitfulness followed by Translation followed by MillennialKingdom followed by TheJudgment followed by NewHeavenAndEarth.
The first and last message that Jesus preached to Israel was one of Repentance. Understanding the Change; being willing to Change and actually changing is Repentance Human Beings are born with the SinNature - a corrupt spirit. That corrupt spirit is Dead to God (Gen 2:17.) By being BornAgain of the HolySpriit we can begin to See (Understand and appreciate) the KingdomOfGod. SpiritBaptism, HolySpirit, Seek, Speak, Tongue, Immersion Peter's DoubleMinded nature was not unique to him so Jesus addressed all the Disciples so that they understood the level of commitment that Jesus required. We must Deny ourselves. Peter had tried to intervene in the direction of Jesus' PhysicalLife. So, Jesus addresses how to experience AbundantLife in our PhysicalLife in His comments to all the Disciples. We find AbundantLife by giving up our SelfWill controlled Life in Obedience to the HolySpirit and Word. The Light and Salt of the Life and Word of our Lord will produce Fruit if it is exposed to the Darkness. In a Moment, in the twinkling of an Eye, at the last Trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the Dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. - 1Co 15:52 When the LastTrump sounds the dead in Christ shall be raised and Translated along with those who are alive. This will happen in a moment of time. The trumpet will herald the appearance of Jesus in the air and the Dead and Alive InChrist will be caught up to Him..
Then we which are Alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. - 1Th 4:17 We meet the Lord while He is in the air above the Earth and we will never be separated from Him from thence. I saw in the night visions, and, Behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of Heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. - Dan 7:13 Jesus is the SonOfMan, the AncientOfDays is God the HolySpirit.
Jesus has Received all Power in Heaven and Earth from the HolySpirit. His Kingdom on this Earth will last 1000 years. Then there will be a NewHeavenAndEarth where His Reign continues for all Eternity. This is a SpiritualLaw. After our sojourn here on Earth we will appear before Jesus (Believers) or the Father (Unbelievers) in Judgment. Everyone who Rejects Christ Jesus will be cast into the LakeOfFire. Once everything that is Evil is destroyed in the LakeOfFire, God recreates Heaven and Earth which will have no remembrance of the old.
The Earth is repopulated with the New Jerusalem which is the Body of Christ.
Everythng is now Perfect never to be corrupted again. We live with God and in God.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more Death, neither Sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more Pain: for the former things are passed away. - Rev 21:4 Now this is Heaven!
Everything New!
For those who have not already been BornAgain, Jesus offers the WaterOfLife, His HolySpirit, to anyone who thirsts for Relationship with God. |
