The Revolving Door

The Kingdom of God:

has a different law than the law given the Moses. It's the law of Christ (Gospel). This isn't an evolution; it's a fundamental change.
has power and stands in opposition to its foes.
does not admit that which offends it.
is a place of safety and certainty and creates order out of chaos.

Matthew 5:3 Jesus began his ministry speaking about the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 6:13,33

Mark 1:14 The law that governs this kingdom is the Gospel.

Mark 9:1 The kingdom of God is present.

Mark 9:47 There are certain things I cannot bring into the kingdom of God. My conscience will convict me when I go against the law of the Gospel.

Luke 12:22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31 The kingdom of God still exists.

In which direction am I moving? Is the revolving door bringing me into the kingdom? Am I living in a chaotic boundary that just keeps spinning like a revolving door? Am I seeking what is inside or what is outside?

Am I self-righteous and governed by the law of self? Jesus said to enter the kingdom as a small child. Pride, arrogance, and knowledge must be left outside.

Romans 1:16 Am I ashamed of the gospel of Christ? It is the power of God unto salvation.

Romans 7:8

Luke 16:14,15,16

Matthew 13:10 It takes effort to press into the Kingdom.

Acts 14:22

God doesn’t permit profanity (common human thinking) to enter the kingdom. Sometimes the message is hard to understand if the heart doesn't want a holy way.
