I was Just thinking about where we are in Christ, and in the kingdom of God. Time is coming to a close and some of us are still in the same place we where ten and even twenty years ago. It was a great thing that we began this race in Christ Jesus, but I believe Christ is looking for strong finishers, not just strong beginners. I talked about seeking first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, but seeking is something I don’t see a lot of Christians doing. The word seek, is to uncover, dig up, go after, with all ones heart. The word seek means searching for something until you find it, it is not a overnight thing, it could take days, months, and even years.

I will be using the New Living translation, along with the Good News translation. When we see the words rightwith God, righteous,or righteousness,it is always referring to the finished works of the cross of Jesus Christ, and the exchange ofHimself and Hislife for ours.The righteous act that was and is, is Jesus Christ who became yours and my Substitute for our wrong doings. We will see what makes us right or righteous, is Christ and Christ alone Hallelujah!!!!

But one message I don’t hear a lot of, is the Kingdom Of God, and when I do its preached as if it is the church you attend. The Kingdom Of God is talked about in a very lightly manner. Most Christians can’t tell you the first thing about this subject. I was walking one day at a large flea market, and to my surprise I heard a man preaching away, I stopped to listen to him. As he came to the end of his message, I asked him if he could tell me anything about the Kingdom of God. He gave me one of those puzzled looks, and just stood there. So I asked him, what did Jesus talk about for the forty days He was here on earth after His resurrection to His disciples? He gave me that puzzled look again, I said to him, Jesus didn’t talk about His miracles, even though they where many. Jesus didn’t talk about His death, and He had just came back from the dead. Jesus didn’t talk about His great victory in hell, and that was worth talking about Hallelujah!!!! But Jesus was more interested in telling His disciples about The Kingdom Of God, than anything else.

I am appalled that the teaching we needed we have not gotten in our generation, until now. Galatians 1:6-9 says 6. "I marvel that you so soon are being moved away from Him who called you into the grace of Christ, to another gospel, 7. which is not another, but some are troubling you, and desiring to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8. But even if we or an angel from Heaven preach a gospel to you beside what we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9. As we said before, and now I say again, If anyone preaches a gospel to you beside what you have received, let him be accursed". The good news is the Grace of Christ, which is the finished work of the cross ,and the benefits that were exchanged at the cross. This is the gospel Apostle Paul writes about, and no other.
