Because the Kingdom of God comes with the Holy Spirit as He regenerates and indwells us, the Kingdom will always come on earth as it is in heaven via that avenue of our soul. Today’s excerpt from The Kingdom Turn can be found on page 112:
“The Kingdom of God itself is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit, as we have seen. It makes sense, therefore, to believe that wherever we are laying aside the ways of the world and putting on the righteousness of Jesus Christ, there the Kingdom of God is being found and is advancing, and we are becoming that peculiar people who walks in the Spirit of God rather than the spirit of the age.
“This process is called sanctification, and it is a work of grace. God, by His Word and Spirit, works within and through us to make us increasingly fit for His Kingdom.
“But while sanctification is a work of God, it’s one that we must engage in as well, ‘working out our salvation’, as Paul put it, in fear and trembling before the Lord.
“Sanctification is the heart of our pursuit of the Kingdom of God. The harder we work at this, in every area of our lives, the more we will find that our outlook, attitudes, priorities, and practices begin to reflect the very character of Jesus. Through sanctification we are actually ‘putting on Jesus’ and, as we become more like Him – as He increases in us and our old self decreases – we reflect more the reality of the Kingdom of God to the watching world.”
For reflection or discussion
1. What would you say ae the key ingredients for the process of sanctification?
2. How is the work of working out your salvation going in your life?
The Kingdom of God comes from heaven to earth, in the first instance, in the souls of God’s people. The more we know about the Kingdom, desire the Kingdom, and make it the defining priority of our lives, the more we will continue to grow into the likeness of Jesus, which is the goal of sanctification. Share today’s podcast with some friends, then get together to discuss God’s work in your life. Your copy of The Kingdom Turn awaits you in The Ailbe Bookstore.
