Jesus flatly stated, Except a man be born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God. ( John 3:3 KJV) It never ceases to amaze me how many people study, fill their head up with all kinds of Bible knowledge, claim to know all about the kingdom of God, but never have fully forsaken all their sins through the true Bible born again experience. No matter how much you know, it's impossible to understand what the kingdom really is without being truly born again.
The Bible plainly teaches us that truly born again christians, if they are to stay christians, don't sin ever. Once they have been saved they keep themselves unspotted from the world of sin.. If a person studies to just fill up their head full of knowledge about the kingdom, but never fully repents and quits all sin forever; they are a prime candidate for deception! They are sure to be found believing the old pagan teaching that christians still will sin once in a while. But, if an individual becomes sincere and honest in their desire to get right with God and serve him, they will want to stop doing all wrong. They will truly repent by praying and asking Jesus to forgive them of all their past sins and they will not do them again. Jesus will save them and they will be born again to a new, holy, sin free life in Christ Jesus! Because they are truly bornagain, God will give them spiritual eyes so they can see and understand what the kingdom of God truly is. After being truly born again, a christian will soon see that the kingdom of God is not a physical kingdom of this earth of earthly riches and power. But rather, ... it is a kingdom of righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost (Romans 14:17 KJV) Jesus said, behold, the kingdom of god is within you. (Luke 17:21 KJV) He also said, My kingdom is not of this world. (John 18:36) Jesus prayed, ...they are not of this world, even as I am not of this worl. I pray not that thou shouldest keep them from the evil (John 17:14-15 KJV)
True christians are not waiting for a future millennium age to be able to live in the world without ever sinning. They already are, and have been ever since Jesus first came to the earth. God hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. (Colossians 1:13 KJV) The kingdom of God was set up when Jesus first came to the earth and it will continue without end, forever! (Isaiah 9:6-7, Luke 1:30-33) The earth shall soon come to an end, but never the kingdom of God. The Jews for years had looked for a time when the Christ would come to the earth and establish a physical kingdom on earth of earthly riches and power. When Jesus presented to them his kingdom of holiness, peace and joy in thesoul; they rejected it because it was not what they wanted.
Today people are still rejecting Jesus's kingdom of holy sin free living because they are waiting for another kingdom to be set up in a future age they call the millennium. Will you reject the present kingdom of sin free living in return for a false hope in a false doctrine of an earthly kingdom in a future age? I hope you will not make the same error the Jews did. Believe the plain teachings of God's holy word: ...as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement. After death comes the judgement, not the millennium. You must get rid of your sins once and for all now, before you die. Don't put your hope in a doctrine that the Bible will not support.
