The Kingdom: “Holiness”
Jesus, said Repent (change) for The Kingdom of heaven was at hand
The Kingdom:
Although it is spiritual and invisible, it governs the material and the visible
The Kingdom of heaven:
- Operates in a specific manner and has a constitution, a system of fundamental principles and virtues.
Holiness:
- is a major key to walking in the power of the Kingdom.
- does not mean legalism.
- means being Christ-likeness.
- Is not adherence to a code of behavior
- Does not mean don’t do this and don’t do that
In The American Church Christians are committing adultery, fornication and other evils and don’t even think twice of it.
- Church holiness is not mentioned very much. If it is mentioned, it isn’t the Bible definition of holiness.
Jesus Said:
We are the salt of the earth. Salt was not only used to flavor food but to preserve food. We are the light of the world; let your light shine!
Jesus Said:
“Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to fulfill them.”
Matthew 5:17
Jesus Said:
“I assure you, until heaven and earth disappear, even the smallest detail of God’s law will remain until its purpose is achieved. So if you break the smallest commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be least in the kingdom of heaven.”
Jesus Said:
“But anyone who obeys God’s laws and teaches them will be great in the kingdom of heaven. But I warn you unless you obey God better than the teachers of the religious law and the Pharisees do, you can’t enter the kingdom of heaven at all!”
Who Will Be Greatest In the Kingdom of Heaven?
• When we become as little children (humble as a child). We can not even enter the kingdom unless thus we become.
Matthew 18:1-4
Who Will Be Great In the Kingdom of Heaven?
• Whoever practices and teaches what Jesus taught & commanded
Jesus Is:
• Coming for a glorious church without spot or wrinkle
• Calling us out or darkness
• Never compromised and tells us to follow his example
