Bible Question (short): Can we enter the Kingdom now? |
Question (full): After the entire discourse of Jesus Mtt.6:25-32, why are we at the end of it told. Mtt.6:33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. In relation to all of the things Jesus was talking about in verses 25-32, which are Temperal things, things we are told not to worry about are we to believe, if we seek His kingdom, we can enter His kingdom (NOW), here on Earth, in other words, live in his Kingdom, before we die? There isn't any break in the narrative, it just finishes with the admonition to seek, or can we take the seek, as another commandment of Jesus. We are told not to worry about tomorrow, if we do exactly as we have been told, would that be called walking by Faith, if so are we then in His kingdom? |
