The Kingdom of God Is Within You Picture The Kingdom of God is within you but only within you. The Kingdom of Heaven is at your door. And the Kingdom of God is coming(Christs return) --all three, not one exclusively, but all three inclusively. The Kingdom of God is within you was not spoken to His disciples or those who were converted; but it was spoken to the Pharisees (those religious people). Constitutional Scripture: Luke 17:20 20) Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; Question: Is the Kingdom of God within everyone--good, bad or indifferent? Answer: The answer to that question is yes. Because the laws of your being are the laws of the Kingdom of God. This Kingdom is built from the foundation of the world; built in, within the structure of our being. You, or we, are built to obey the laws of the kingdom. From the beginning, God the Father and Creator, built these laws in us from the beginning in the garden of Eden. But when Adam failed to keep Gods command, then it caused a malfunction. Constitutional Scripture: Genesis 1:27 27) So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Please note: Before God the Father created Adam and Eve, He created the perfect environment for them in which to live. This environment was conducive for them to thrive in, not only to live in, but to thrive and grow. Keep this in mind, if we obey the laws that are written within us, we are fulfilled; if we go against these laws we become frustrated and if we persist, then we are broken. Please note: God doesnt have to punish you if you break His laws written in you. Sin and its punishment are one and the same thing. Focus Point: You dont have to punish the eye for having sand in it, nor the body for having cancer in it, nor the soul for having sin in it. Quote: As Augustine once stated, Sin and its punishment are one and the same thing. You take one and you take the other. I read in a book from E. Stanley Jones once and I quote: A modern woman of the West wrote to a newspaper: They say to have an affair with another womans husband is heaven. I can tell you it is ten percent heaven and ninety percent hell. Please note: To be disobedient to Gods laws and principles and think that punishment doesnt come with it is foolishness on the part of the offender. Focus Point: God the Father created the woman for the man, and not the other way around. When the citizens of planet earth cease to adhere to that law and principle; so the chickens will come home to roost. Constitutional Scripture: Romans 1:27 27) Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. The Kingdom of God is within you, but You must seek it through His Word.
