It is the manifestation of the purpose of Jesus Christ. In other words, the kingdom of God is the tangible result of what was accomplished by Jesus. Those who are in it, are in it because of Jesus. What happens in the kingdom, happens because of Jesus. Wherever the kingdom exists, it exists because of Jesus. Every “why?” question about the kingdom of heaven can be answered by examining the Person of Jesus Christ.The kingdom of heaven… so far we have discovered: The kingdom [...]

  (Click here to search for all the posts in this series…) Matthew 3:2 Matthew 3:2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” (NKJV)(Previous devotionals in this series can be found at www.seriousfaith.com)The kingdom of heaven is very exclusive.

We have to respond and react to the here and now. So let me ask you this… do you think about the kingdom of heaven at all? Once in a while? Every day?At the risk of sounding harsh, it befuddles* me to think that a Christian could go an entire day, and [...]

  (Click here to search for all the posts in this series…) Matthew 3:2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” (NKJV)The kingdom of heaven…. the more I experience this life, the more I long to know about the “kingdom of heaven “. We will spend on average about 80 years living in this earthly kingdom. After 80 million million million years in the Kingdom of Heaven, we will not have moved one second closer to the end of eternity. Meditating on this reality produces a desire to know what God has revealed about His kingdom.The “kingdom of heaven” leads me to a different set of thoughts than just the consideration of “heaven”. When I think of “heaven”, I think of what [...]
