Life

in the

Kingdom

very kingdom has laws and principles which govern its society.
The kingdom of God is no different. It also has laws and principles.
EHow a should a follower of Jesus live his or her life in the kingdom
of God? We will address three aspects of kingdom life:

• Entering the kingdom of God.
• The quality of life in the Kingdom.
• The responsibilities of life in the Kingdom.

Entering the Kingdom of God

On several occasions, Jesus talked about what one must do to enter
the kingdom of God. At times He was obviously referring to entering the
Kingdom in its present form (Mark 1:14; John 3:5). At other times He was
clearly talking about entering the Kingdom when it comes in the future
(Mark 9:47). Sometimes it is unclear which aspect of the Kingdom Jesus
was talking about. Let’s look at what Jesus taught about entering both
the present Kingdom and the Kingdom to come.
