We are called out people and Jesus has asked us to build God’s kingdom on this earth. We need to show God’s love and grace through our daily lives. We should be peacemakers so that others can inherit God’s kingdom. Those who obey God’s law and live according to that will be called God’s children.
The kingdom of God is not only a future hope but it talks about present reality where we need to live a righteous life. We need to love our neighbors, and we should forgive others. By doing so we can build God’s kingdom on this earth.
The early church set an example of how we can establish God’s kingdom on this earth. They shared their things and they used to eat together. This showed how the children of God are different from this world. We should follow this to bear the witness of God’s people.
Dear friends, building God’s Kingdom also means spreading the Gospel. The Great Commission calls us to go and make disciples of all nations, teaching them to obey everything Jesus has commanded. We need to give our efforts in spreading the gospel since we are commanded to do so. This will help in building God’s kingdom.
Paul said that whatever we do for the Lord will be rewarded. So let us give our best to build God’s kingdom. Since we have a hope of eternal life we need to work hard for the sake of God’s kingdom. Dear friends, now let’s see the Bible scriptures below that talk about building God’s Kingdom.
