What does it mean that the kingdom of God comes with power?Jesus told His listeners that some would not die until they saw the kingdom of God come with power, which was fulfilled when the Holy Spirit descended on the Day of Pentecost.
Seeking God's government firstThe kingdom of God means God's government ruling over our daily life, thoughts, and actions, leading us to live in absolute honesty and purity.
The baptism of power in ActsFollowing forty days of speaking about the kingdom of God, Jesus promised the disciples they would receive power when the Holy Spirit came upon them.
The contrast between Herod and true disciplesHerod enjoyed listening to John the Baptist preach yet continued in sin, whereas John's true disciples listened to his preaching and chose to follow Jesus.
The core message of repentance and the kingdomWhile Old Testament prophets and John preached repentance, John uniquely added that the kingdom of heaven is at hand, calling people away from worldly focus.
Applying kingdom principles in daily workJesus worked as a carpenter in Nazareth without deceit or greed, letting God's government control His daily labor and relationships.
Trusting God's higher ways amidst sufferingEven when godly servants like John the Baptist or the apostle James suffer and die prematurely, we must trust that God sees the whole picture and His ways are perfect.
Entering the kingdom through many tribulationsThe apostle Paul strengthened the souls of the disciples, teaching them that we must through many tribulations enter into the kingdom of God.
Righteousness as loving God and othersThe kingdom of God is righteousness, which fundamentally means loving God with all our heart and treating others the exact way we wish to be treated.
Peace and joy in the Holy SpiritWhen kingdom righteousness is truly active in our lives, it continuously produces deep peace and joy in the Holy Spirit rather than stress and complaining.
Proclaiming this gospel to all nations before the endAs prophesied in Matthew 24, this gospel of the kingdom must be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations before the end comes.
