Kingdom anyone?
Hebrews 12:
22 But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly,
23 to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the judge of all men, to the spirits of righteous men made perfect,
24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
25 See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven?
26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, "Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens."
27 The words "once more" indicate the removing of what can be shaken--that is, created things--so that what cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,
29 for our "God is a consuming fire."
Matt. 3:
1 In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the Desert of Judea
2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
Matt. 4:
17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
Matt. 12:
28 But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God HAS come upon you.
John 3:
5 Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.
6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
Luke 9:
27 I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God."
Romans 14:
17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy IN the Holy Spirit,
18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.
1 Cor. 4:
20 For the kingdom of God IS not a matter of talk but of power.
Rev. 1:
4 John, To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne,
5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,
6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father--to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.
Praise God for the Kingdom we HAVE NOW through HIS blood.
