HOW TO BE ESTABLISHED IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD

Colossians 2:6-7 (LB)

And now just as you trusted Christ to save you, trust him, too, for each day’s problems; live in vital union with him. Let your roots grow down into him and draw up nourishment from him. See that you go on growing in the Lord, and become strong and vigorous in the truth you were taught. Let your lives overflow with joy and thanksgiving for all he has done.

The way to be established in the kingdom of God is to abide in Christ – for He is the way, the truth and the life of God’s kingdom. We abide in Christ by filling ourselves with the revelation of Christ and by letting our faith rest solely on Christ. We also abide in Christ by fellowshipping with Him.

When we abide in Christ, His Life overflows from us and manifests in every area of our lives. It is only as we abide in Christ that we will manifest His life and bear His fruit, (John 15:4). As we abide in Christ, we will become more and more like Him. The Spirit of God will keep transforming us into His image from glory to glory, (2Cor.3:18).

As we abide in Christ, we will walk as He walked, (1John 2:6). As we fellowship with Christ, we will not walk in darkness; we will walk in the light, (1John 1:6-7). The Bible says if we abide in Christ, we will not be ashamed before Him when He returns, (1John 2:28). As we abide in Christ, our hearts will be established in grace (Heb.13:9) and the Holy Spirit will cause us to walk in righteousness, peace and joy of Christ/ God’s Kingdom, (Rom.14:17). To be established in God’s Kingdom, we must continue to desire to know Christ, to be more and more like Him and to manifest His Life and fullness, (Phil.3:10-13).

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, please help me to keep filling myself with the revelation of Christ and help me to keep my faith solely on Christ.
