RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD - 2 (of 8)

[Albert Finch]

1. 1. What is the Kingdom of God?

        Answer:  Your spirit in union with God and the laws that govern that spirit realm.

   "For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit." -  Romans 14:17

   "Jesus answered and said to him, 'Truly,truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.'" - John 3:3

   "The kingdom of God does not come visibly, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'there it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you."  - Luke 17:20,21

    

   2. Is it God's will for us to experience life as it is in the Kingdom of God?

        Answer: Find answer in the scriptures.

   "But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added to you...for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom." - Luke 12;31,32

   “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” - Matthew 16:9

   “Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits.” – Matthew 21:43

   “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” – Luke 12:32

    

   3. What law governs the Kingdom of God?

        Answer: The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.

   "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death." - Romans 8:2

   "If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the spirit." - Galatians 5:25

    

   4. What is the righteousness of God?

        Answer:  The ability to stand in the presence of God without the sense of sin, guilt, condemnation, or inferiority.

   "Jesus has cleared the way by the blood of his sacrifice, acting as our priest before God.  The 'curtain' into God's presence is his body... -- full of belief, confident that we're presentable inside and out." - Hebrews 10:21,22 The Message

   "Therefore there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." - Romans 8:1

   “but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” – 1 John 1:7

    

   5. How do we receive His righteousness (our right standing with God)?

        Answer:  We receive our righteousness by faith in the substitutionary sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ. We never lose our right standing with God because He has forgiven us all our sins – past, present, and future.  We are now always available to advance His Kingdom in the earth through our Christ calling.)

   "Adams sin brought punishment to all, but Christ's righteousness makes men right with God, so that they can live." - Romans 5:18

   "This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe." - Romans 3:22

   "God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God." - 2 Corinthians 5:21

    

   INTO ACTION:

   Affirm and meditate on the indicated scriptures 4 times daily until the renewing of your mind is made real to your spirit.

    

              AFFIRMATIONS:

   I ask, seek, and knock until I come to understand and start implementing my Christ calling as I begin bearing fruit that remains for His Kingdom. (Matthew 7:7)

   The Kingdom of God -- which is righteousness, and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit -- is within me. (Luke 17:21 & Romans 14:17)

   As I seek the Kingdom of God, all things God has for me will be added.  (Luke 12:30-32)

   Since I am in Christ Jesus, God has made wisdom, righteousness and sanctification, and redemption available to me through faith in the blood of Jesus.  (Romans 3:25)
