THE KINGDOM OF GOD (Ephesians 4)
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
13 - Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
14 - That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;.........
The problem today is that we don't know what we preach.
But, the knowledge of the son of God(JESUS Christ) is what gives the revelation. For the Bible says,"we give lip service of his KINGDOM, and yet make his commands of no effect by the traditions of men"(paraphrased). When we misunderstand God and the works of our Savior Jesus Christ, we become empty again. After reading thoroughly through the Holy Bible, you would realize that CHRIST did not come to CONVERT, he came to SAVE. He brought back the kingdom,power and authority we lost, but not a RELIGION. "lack of knowledge, my people PERISH".. Some folks are still going through a lot simply because they have put to death the power of the Holy Spirit because they lack the truth of the works of Christ Jesus.
He came not to establish a RELIGION, rather to return us back to our roots. To salvage us(recover us). NOT TO CONVERT US INTO A RELIGION like the other sects think and do. Let's get the message right and IMPACT lives with the truth rather than keeping souls captives in our churches with perverted messages just for material wealth. You don't have to be deceived by they that seek fame n riches. For in search of that, they create their own religions and turn the message.
In conclusion, let's take this from Matthew 4:17, the first public statement of Jesus Christ is his work, " Repent( renew your mind) for the kingdom of God is at hand(arrived). He did not say, "convert, for a new religion has come"... Hmmmm
Misconceptions are dangerous, but misrepresentations are deadly. Let's know the truth and stick to them; for FACTS change but the truth prevails and stands the test of time.
MEANINGFUL, PURPOSEFUL and successful living begins at knowing who you are, what you have, what you can do, and why you must do it. Know the truth and change the world.
