Life or Work?

As inheritors of the Kingdom of God, should we not live in the ebb and flow of the Kingdom? Then why dont we? So many children of God do not live in the ebb and flow of the Kingdom. how much different would "church" look? how much more would the true gospel be spread? how many more people would truly know the love of God? The ministry that could be done and the lives that would truly be changed would be outstanding!

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you who {people} insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me." Matthew 5:3-12 (NASB)

To truly live in the ebb and flow of the Kingdom as we are called to do means a lot of things. it means that you should HUNGER and THIRST for righteousness because it is only then will you be satisfied. You should be merciful, pure of heart, and a lot more than that, the lifestyle of the Kingdom is all over scripture. It can all be boiled down to LOVE, not little acts of love or saying "the three words" but true unselfish, unhindered love.
Love that is not so afraid of upsetting people, so it doesnt water down the true gospel. A love that is so pure that there is no grey line between living in this world and being of this world. A love that gives ALL.
I call this blog "life or work?" because so many Christians (myself included sometimes) are only going into the Kingdom on occasion to "do there good deed" like when we go to work just to make a pay check. They are casually going in and out of the Kingdom when ever they choose, but life as an inheritor of the Kingdom of God is to be spent in the Kingdom, living in complete love, not watering down the gospel of Christ for seeker sensitivity but also not speaking with intentions of offending. Only seeking truth and merely telling the truth because of how amazing the truth we hold is.
I challenge you and myself to live every minute within the Kingdom. Living unselfishly, unhindered, not afraid of truly loving people, and not withholding anything. How beautiful that would be!

Is the Kingdom a work place or a home for you?
