Subject: Kingdom of God...now? |
Bible Note: [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.] I agree with you but as with all God's Grace, I believe it to be a choosing that we must do because of His Grace which calls us to it. Consider the case of the rich young ruler. I believe it to be a good example of what I'm speaking of. Good folk get saved but never enter the kingdom. The result being an obvious condition of the church[s] suffers from,i.e., no witness of the Spirit within it. Jesus said "abide"...Most don't, most won't. Those that do I believe to be the "elect" Paul speaks of. |
