Subject: Born into the Kingdom of God? |
Bible Note: "Colossians 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins" Paul isn't talking to just anyone here but to them who have already entered; already delivered into the kingdom of God. Entering is a choosing on our part. If we choose then we are gifted with the Holy Ghost for entry and that we might see the kingdom to become a son of God. "Luke 14:27-28 [NASB] "Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. [28] "For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it? Question: How does one carry his cross if he is not already a disciple; born again? So Jesus is speaking to those who would be His followers and if we choose it should be because we have counted the cost. Remember the rich young ruler who walked away from Him? He counted the cost. There are many scriptures pertaining to sons of God getting kick out of the kingdom. |
