Blog 24 How Long?

In 2 Corinthians 4:3 the apostle Paul says, “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to
them that are lost.” I want to be the first to say, “Thank you Jesus for the saving
gospel!” The true gospel contains the true message of salvation through the LORD
Jesus Christ.

It was Jesus Himself who came preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. He
said in Matthew 24:14, “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all
the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”
The Gospel makes the way of salvation known to mankind. It opens a door to
salvation. Jesus is the Door. Anyone desiring to be saved can find the way when
the Gospel truth is fully preached.

Hopefully, most who read this can say, “I have that part. I am saved. I try to teach
and preach to others to show them the way of salvation.”
If so then that is wonderful. Praise God! Salvation gets you inside the door of the
Kingdom of God. But the entry point is designed to give you access to all the other
things that are also available to you as a newborn citizen in the spiritual Kingdom
of God.

So, what about the rest of the Gospel? Why stop pursuing the Kingdom after
salvation? Why not lead those you lead farther into the Kingdom?
Most born-again Christians stop at salvation. Most church pastors, evangelists, and
teachers focus on salvation but never really press farther to truly understand, teach,
and implement the very real Kingdom of God!
Many have never thought about it. Most haven’t even been exposed to the
question. Until now. I am asking you the question now.

How long will you delay:
* Understanding the Kingdom of God?
* Sharing the Kingdom of God with others?
* Transforming your church into a Kingdom training center?
* Awakening others to the reality of the Kingdom and what it is.
* Leading forward to better understand and apply the promises of the
Kingdom of God.
