1 | Kingdom of God...now? | Ephesians | Ken hepting | 101313 | ||
What is the Treasure in the hidden in Field/The Pearl of great price? Jesus likened them to the kingdom of God. Do we see it that way or not think of it much at all? Jesus saves, this we know, but is there something more in this life that needs to be apprehended? How is it done if we see it? | ||||||
2 | Kingdom of God...now? | Ephesians | shalor | 101314 | ||
The kingdom of God in an eternal Kingdom. It existed( exists, will exist) without reference to time. God's salvation through Grace gives us entrance into that kingdom now and in time eternal. Eph 1 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 20 which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, Eph 2 6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus, Eph 3 10 in order that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places. Eph 6 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. |

4 | Kingdom of God...now? | Ephesians | shalor | 101320 | ||
Eph 4 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fulness of Christ. The degree that one experices it wuould best be decribed in verse 13 to a mature man. The fancy term for this is sanctification. it is a continual Growing process and will never be complete until the final cumulation of the Kingdom at Christ's return. 2 Cor 12 9 And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may dwell in me. The power of Christ to dwell in us is determined by how much strength or oppisition we put up to it. much like the difference between a 40 watt light bulb abd a 100 watt light buld the 40 watt bulb put up more internal resistance and therfore put out less light. |

I'm not quite sure of your light bulb thing but you are right on the money as to the perfecting of the saints. Since His power is a trust we don't get His trust unless we earn it and that by abandonment to Him that He be all in all to us. Praise God that He has shown you some tough stuff. Ken |
