Good morning.
When thinking about the Kingdom God the question begs asking, "What defines a kingdom?" Do the borders define it? Does what goes on there define it? Do the citizens of the kingdom define it?
When it comes to the Kingdom of God, it is all about the King. He defines it. For us to be in and experience the Kingdom of God comes down to our relationship with the King. Jesus said, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. ” (John 3:3)
For the Kingdom of God to be a daily reality for us, we must be in Him. Paul reminds us that we are seated with Him in heavenly realms. (Ephesians 2:6)
It is all about the King and being found in Him.
As Adrienne Camp puts it:
"In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand."
When it comes to the Kingdom of God - the King has the final move!
Blessings.
