We are totally dedicated to preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God (Matt 4:23). The importance of this Gospel was so important to our Lord Jesus Christ, that he preached it, taught it, prayed for it, lived for it, and died to get you into it!
Look at the following verses:
1. Jesus preached the gospel of the Kingdom of God. (Matt 4:23)
2. He taught us to seek the Kingdom of God first. (Matt 6:33)
3. He prayed for the Kingdom of God. (Matt 6:10)
4. All his parables teach us about the Kingdom of God. (Matt 13:10-11)
5. Jesus was specifically created for the Kingdom of God. (John 18:37)
6. The Kingdom is all inclusive (all are invited) yet, it is also exclusive (citizens only). (Mark 16:15-16)
7. Full citizenship is conditional upon:
a. belief (Mark 16:15-16) b. repentance (Acts 2:38) c. baptism d. the apostle’s doctrine e. fellowship f. breaking of bread g. prayer Acts (2:41-42) h. love (Jn 15:12)
8. The essence of the Kingdom – is God’s desire to share His perfect creation,
with all His citizens…for eternity. (Rev 21:3)
If the Kingdom of God was important to Jesus, it should be important to us!
