The Kingdom of the Holy Spirit

Imagem de capa - The Kingdom of the Holy Spirit

Righteousness is what characterizes the Kingdom of God.

Unrighteousness is what characterizes the kingdom of hell. And this was the reason for the divorce between creation and the Creator.

God the Father chose Abraham to bring forth a kingdom of righteousness. This would be different from the other kingdoms of the Earth.

Then the kingdom of Israel was established. But they also broke their alliance with the Creator.

After Israel, the Lord God brought His Son into the world. From Him, the Kingdom of God was born on Earth. This Kingdom is established in the hearts of His followers.

By obeying the rules, the laws, the commandments, or the Word of Jesus, the followers become citizens of the Kingdom of God. However, when there is disobedience, they are automatically excluded from the Kingdom by their own insubordination.

The Kingdom of God here on Earth is the Church, composed of members that are obedient to the Head, Lord Jesus.

When God the Son ascended to Heaven, He sat at the right hand of God the Father. And He sent God the Holy Spirit to “replace Him” ​​in guiding the Kingdom or Church.

Therefore, the members of this Kingdom or Church live under the guidance of the Head through His Holy Spirit.

It is impossible for a member of the Body of the Lord Jesus to live outside the discipline, order, and justice of the Kingdom of God.

When there is disobedience to the Word that comes from the Head, it is because the person is not part of His Body.

The member of the Kingdom of God is disciplined, carries within himself the character of his Lord, loves justice and strives for it.

For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Matthew 5.20
