THE QUEST FOR GOD AND HIS KINGDOM: HIS KINGDOM IS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE AND JOY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT!
The Kingdom of God in life and grace – is much more about RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE and JOY in the Holy Spirit than about FOOD and DRINK as many will crave and even sell their FAITH and conscience to have and possess.
God’s kingdom is of righteousness because the work righteousness is of Christ Jesus and it’s efficacious and fruitful to give the right to stand before God emboldened in grace, without shame, fear, unsecure, inferior and such like as it’s written:
“And the WORK OF RIGHTEOUSNESS shall be PEACE; and the EFFECT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS QUIETNESS and ASSURANCE for ever” Isaiah 32:17.
“And the FRUIT of righteousness is SOWN in PEACE of them that make PEACE” James 3:18.
The work of have a righteous stand with God in Christ Jesus stead gives PEACE and the effect of that righteous stand gives QUIETNESS and ASSURANCE for ever. What a position to take a stand and enjoy God through life in grace.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
