God's Three-Fold Kingdom The Kingdom Gospel
So when they had come together, they asked Him, Lord, are You restoring the kingdom to Israel at this time? He said to them, It is not for you to know times or periods that the Father has set by His own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Acts 1:6 8 HCSB
Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on the rock. The rain fell, the rivers rose, and the winds blew and pounded that house. Yet it didn t collapse, because its foundation was on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of Mine and doesn t act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The rain fell, the rivers rose, the winds blew and pounded that house, and it collapsed. And its collapse was great! Matthew 7:24 27 HCSB
Enter through the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the road is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who go through it. How narrow is the gate and difficult the road that leads to life, and few find it. Matthew 7:13 14 HCSB
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you. Matthew 6:33 HCSB

After John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee, preaching the good news of God: The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe in the good news! Mark 1:14 15 HCSB
To draw near to God, to enter His Kingdom of peace, hope and love is to invite and welcome His reign and His rule over you and your world your realm!
Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God will come, He answered them, The kingdom of God is not coming with something observable; no one will say, Look here! or There! For you see, the kingdom of God is among you. Luke 17:20 21 HCSB
My kingdom is not of this world, said Jesus. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I wouldn t be handed over to the Jews. As it is, My kingdom does not have its origin here. John 18:36 HCSB
At that time Jesus healed many people of diseases, plagues, and evil spirits, and He granted sight to many blind people. He replied to them, Go and report to John the things you have seen and heard: The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, those with skin diseases are healed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor are told the good news. And anyone who is not offended because of Me is blessed. Luke 7:21 23 HCSB
My kingdom is not of this world, said Jesus. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I wouldn t be handed over to the Jews. As it is, My kingdom does not have its origin here. John 18:36 HCSB
The importance of the message of Jesus about the Kingdom of God is this the Kingdom of God is the Gospel the full Gospel.
The manifest presence of Gods reign over His realm.
Our responsibility as followers/disciples of Christ Jesus is to allow God manifest over our lives and be vessels of God s manifest presence in this world.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come. Everything is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 2 Corinthians 5:17 20 HCSB
That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed the message of reconciliation to us. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, certain that God is appealing through us. We plead on Christ s behalf, Be reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 20 HCSB
Our Responsibility: Make God Manifest! Make the appeal of God to man. Allow the love of Christ to control us; submit to Him
For Christs love compels us, since we have reached this conclusion: If One died for all, then all died. And He died for all so that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for the One who died for them and was raised. 2 Corinthians 5:14 15 HCSB
