Good news of Gods kingdom

[Keiw1]

Here is the good news (i.e. the declaration of Christ's victory over sin, death and hell).

1 Cor. 15:1-8 (WEB)
1 Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,
2 by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
6 Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.
7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
8 and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.

TY, But there is a lot mortals must do--they must repent and turn around--they must obey.

 

[David1701]

TY, But there is a lot mortals must do--they must repent and turn around--they must obey.

That is our responsibility; but, it is God who works it in us, or it doesn't happen. The Bible states that repentance and faith are gifts from God; and that it is God who works in us, to will and to do of his good pleasure.

99% on earth are mislead, most of them think and told they are Gods servants, but reality will prove them wrong. 99% of all religion is false.

And the only 1% that is true are the Jehovah's Witnesses, correct?

God will show the whole earth when the prophecies in Ezekial come true--They will have to know, i am YHVH(Jehovah)

This is the message to be taught here in these last days( Matt 24:14) Thus Jesus' religion teaches the flock that message. The bible is filled with facts of what it will accomplish for mankind. Thus every true follower knows them. Please share some of that good news the bible teaches. Can you?

Jesus taught us to pray "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven" (Matt. 6:10).

For centuries, Christians have sincerely prayed to the Heavenly Father, asking for His Kingdom to come and for His will to be done on earth just like in heaven. This prayer is valid and was given authority by His Son, Jesus Christ. The Scriptures assure us that God will respond in His own time. One of the key reasons for Jesus' return to earth is to set up God's eternal Kingdom everywhere, bringing a reign of peace, righteousness, and truth. (Dan. 7:13, 14, 18, 22, 27; 2:35, 44, 45; Acts 3:20, 21; Rev. 11:15; Isa. 9:6, 7; Luke 1:32, 33).


The Bible highlights the Kingdom of God a lot. The term, along with the similar term Kingdom of Heaven, appears almost 150 times in the New Testament. Most of Jesus' teachings focus on the Kingdom, whether it is heavenly, earthly, or a mix of both.

Some people mistakenly believe that the Messiah's Kingdom only exists in the hearts of His followers during this life. While the Church, in its suffering during the Gospel Age, is sometimes referred to as the Kingdom in the Bible (for example, Matt. 11:12), it is incorrect to say that there isn't a future worldwide Kingdom of God to come (Psa. 72:8). In this future Kingdom, God's will will be done on earth as it is in heaven, and Jesus along with the Church will rule over the earth (Rev. 5:9, 10). Denying this future Kingdom undermines the important promises made by Jesus, the Apostles, and the Prophets.

Jesus asked us to pray for God's Kingdom to come and for His will to be done on earth, just like in heaven. He wanted us to remember God's amazing promise that the Messiah's Kingdom will be established in power and glory after His return. This Kingdom will defeat ignorance, sin, and death, freeing those who are willing and obedient. Eventually, everyone will acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, bringing glory to God. (Isa. 25:7-9; 45:22, 23; Rom. 8:19-22; 14:11; Phil. 2:9-11).

Jesus clearly intended for us to link the Kingdom of God with the significant promise given to Abraham, which states, "In your seed, all the families of the earth will be blessed" (Gen. 12:3; 22:16-18; Gal. 3:8, 16, 29). His teachings, the message He instructed His followers to share in His name, represent the Gospel of the Kingdom (Matt. 24:14)—a message of salvation for both the Church and the world (1 John 2:2; John 10:16).

Dodge.

 

[Fred]

Talk about dodging. Every truth i show you, you have no clue.

Because what you show is garbage.

unity of thought

They affirmed worshiping Jesus even after they denied He is to be worshiped.

That is unity of confusion.

They have corrected that matter to truth. That is what counts. It makes them-RIGHTeous.

When?

 

[EarlyActs]

Christ's kingdom is here now, within us. He is reigning now.

Acts 2-4 say that he was enthroned. It is both in heaven and in us.

 

[EarlyActs]

he can't, it's just simply not there. Is it not in your humanistic version either?

Of course it is in Thess letters but that’s the problem: they were specifically about the 1st cent catastrophe, which has been scrubbed from most Christians thinking.

 

[David1701]

Acts 2-4 say that he was enthroned. It is both in heaven and in us.

Yes, and...?

 

[EarlyActs]

Yes, and...?

The Davidic kingdom has come; it is not just subjective, internal. The best adjective for it is imperative--a kingdom that demands all rulers and people to honor the Son. I hope that is what you meant by 'he reigns now' but many, many Christians are expecting 'events' and also circumstances to be ideal for them--or deny that he reigns now and say it is something in the future. They do this because they don't know what kind of kingdom it is.

Well, God certainly commands all men everywhere to repent and to honour his Son.

Events and circumstances can sometimes be very unpleasant; but, God works all things together (including unpleasant ones) for good to those who love him.

God reigns, not only in the sense of commanding repentance and to honour his Son, but also in the sense that he works all things according to the counsel of his own will.

That is addressed in Acts 4: The crucifixion was part of His Will. Maybe in ch 2 also. Today’s events are up to us to affect. They are best changed by getting people to realize how serious Ps 2 and 110 are. Not by tracking made-up prophecy fulfillments.

“Reigning “ over odd events in a disrupted world is not found in the NT. I believe that mindset is an invention of Marxism to ridicule Christian faith and believers. The Marxists continually ask ‘where is God when…?’ This distracts from His actual enthronement in the resurrection, per Ps 2 and 110.

‘We are counted as sheep for slaughter’ Isaiah in Rom 8, does not sound like a reign, but prep for the worst in life. Things work for the good that God is doing, but not our good, in a normal sense of that.

We do not determine what happens: God does that. God is reigning over even the tiniest details (e.g. sparrows falling to the ground and the tabulation of all the hairs on our heads).

Your "god" is far too small.

Nonsense. He gave Christ the Davidic throne and all people and rulers are summoned to honor him. There is no such emphasis on trying to figure why this it that does Not happen the way we want. That is why my hairs and birds are no worry.

What part of my post do you claim to be "nonsense"? That God determines what happens, or that God is reigning over even the tiniest details?

Yes, no man can turn eternal God to do their own dying will .Not a democracy.

He is of one mind and always does whatsoever his own soul pleases. . . Let there be light a lamp to thier feet, the power to walk as two..

It is Christ yoked with us that does empower us to make our hearts soft by the water of His word the gospel of our salvation

Job 23:11-16 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth. For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him. For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
