I want to remind All of Gods children , but especially those who are ignoring and rejecting the teachings on the kingdom and Love, thats its extremely and vital for all of us, so not one of us may be In danger of not gaining access or entrance into the KINGDOM of heaven. How can you claim to be a child of God, say you love God and yet, lack interest in learning about, studying about what was, and still is today, Gods and Jesus highest priority and passion...The Kingdom of God & heaven. So many people have a passion for souls, (soul winning as they call it), but even with this; we need to make sure that the RIGHT message is being delivered. What information or good news are we sharing with the potential worker or convert, Is our focus only on getting them out of hell & into heaven? Is our focus only on helping them find a bible based church to sit under for years without proper training for disciple making? nor sharing the importance of why and how we are to make disciples of ourselves but leading them ALWAYS to Christ as the Most perfect example. In other words, telling them to imitate your example as YOU imitate Christ example. What did our King warn us about in His Word in Matthew 13:19 - When ANYONE hears the MESSAGE ,(GOOD NEWS OR GOSPEL about what message or subject? The Kingdom of God), and DOES NOT UNDERSTAND IT, the evil one PERSONALLY comes and snatches away what was placed in their minds (heart)......and then you go right back into your religious services and hear messages from leaders who disagree that the Kingdom of heaven is not the gospel and the blood, the cross, Jesus death, burial and resurrection was the gospel. Friends, those things Ive mentioned are parts of the processes that gets you into the kingdom but they in themselves are not the central theme or message that has been authorized by Jesus himself to preach. The Churches leaders have taken a passage from 1 Corinthians 15:3, 4 and made it the gospel message that we were commanded to preach...1 Corinthians is an epistle or letter, its not a doctrinal book, it was a letter the Apostle Paul write to that particular church to defend their position on the resurrection of Jesus....if Jesus was not raised, ALL of our faith was in vain, this just didnt occur in Corinth, in Acts chapter 17:32...lets see a discussion that took place. (Now when they HEARD of the Resurrection of the dead, some began to sneer, but others said, We shall Hear you again concerning this.Even during the ministry of Jesus/Yeshua, He encountered Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection, (See Matthew 22:23), so Paul was only defending a position, also being aware that certain groups crept in among the saints and was influencing the young in the Lord that Jesus was not raised from the dead. The Apostle Paul was brought before the council , before the High Priest Ananias and bystanders were observing or watching, Two groups in particular were watching, the Sadducees and the Pharisees and Paul was on trial because of his belief in the resurrection. But the Sadducees & Pharisees had an argument or dissension occurred between those two groups who were there due to their DIFFERENT VIEWS OR BELIEFS on the Subject...The Sadduucees believed that there is no resurrection, nor angels, spirits, and the Pharisees did believe this teaching. (See Acts 23:1-11), So this subject did not just begin in 1 Corinthians 15, Saints, this was an on-going feud over different beliefs and views. To learn what the Apostle Paul actually preached, we need to go to the book of Acts, See Acts 19:8 20:25, and Acts 28:23, 30, 31. JESUS said in Matthew 24:14 - This gospel , ( Not another gospel or message bringing good news), of the KINGDOM shall be preached in the WHOLE WORLD as a TESTIMONY to all the NATIONS, and then the End will come. Every believers desires to see the return of Christ...but until we all get on the SAME page or line of understanding, were actually holding up his return....The KINGDOM must be preached before his return...remember heaven & earth will pass away before his word does.. no word returns to him VOID.
