The church of today has lost it’s vision and purpose. Christ sent the 10 out preaching the gospel. And the gospel was? The Kingdom of God is at hand. And you know what? It still is. That command was never retracted. But not rightly dividing the word of truth they put off the works of Christ and appropriate the works of God now in effect saying “TODAY! If you will here His voice”. They present another day for Gods gift to us of eternal life to commence and they call it a 2nd coming.

What they don’t understand is the concept of resurrection. They think they have to physically die. They think they have to discard the human body. It is a spirit of religion thst hates humanity. But God made Adam and Eve humans. He said they were made in His image and He said “they were good, very good. He regarded them as the pinicle of His creation and the recipients of the created order.

Adam and Eve died without it killing the body and humanity is restored to that order from the beginning in Christ to all who believe. It’s that simple. No cataclysmic event needed like a 2nd coming.

Paul was confused about this. He had to break from that religious order of their day and relearn what was lost for it was said of His contemporaries “you are not enteringthe Kingdom and you are keeping out those who are trying to do so. They were called “brood of vipers, sons of the devil”

They wanted to build their visual kingdom and reject Gods. Were they not scorned for adorning the shrines if the prophets? They lost their calling. All the law and the prophets were visible things teaching of the reality of Gods Kingdom now. Even back then.

So learn what the resurrection is. It is “the putting off the sin of the body of flesh” which is unbeleif as Paul finally figured out in Colossians. He called it the circumcision made without hands, the circumcision of God and not of man. And if this is true as we believe. Then resurrection is the redemption and restoration to Gods original plan of being “good, very good.

The Kingdom of God is at hand
