The Work Of The Kingdom Hebrews 12:22-28

Citizens In The Kingdom Have Work Colossians 1:13 Translated into a kingdom that would not be destroyed. Colossians 4:7-11 Fellow-workers in the kingdom. 1 Thessalonians 2:11-12 Walk worthy of God … called into the kingdom.

We Are Soldiers 2 Timothy 2:1-3 A good soldier endures hardship. 2 Timothy 2:4 A good soldier pleases his superior. Philippians 2:25 Epaphroditus a companion in labor and a fellow soldier. Philemon 2 Apphia, and Archippus fellow soldiers. 1 Timothy 1:18 Timothy to “war a good warfare.”

Fight – We Are At War 1 Peter 2:11 Fleshly lust – war against the soul. 2 Timothy 4:7 Paul fought a good fight. 1 Timothy 6:12 Charged Timothy to fight “the good fight of faith.” 1 Corinthians 9:26 Paul fought to win.

Our Warfare Is Not Carnal 2 Corinthians 10:3 Our warfare is not after the flesh. 2 Corinthians 10:4 Our weapons are not carnal. cf. Isaiah 2:4; John 18:36 Ephesians 6:17 Sword of the Spirit is our weapon (The Word Of God).

War In The Mind! Two Kinds of Fighting Offensive: We fight against: Ephesians 6:12 Fight involves self discipline. 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 Fleshly lusts. 1 Peter 2:11 War In The Mind!

Two Kinds of Fighting Defensive: Philippians 1:17 Defend the gospel. cf. verse 7 Acts 15:1-2 Defend against error. cf. Galatians 2:5; 1:6-9 Jude 3 “contend earnestly for the faith.” Mark 8:38 Must not be ashamed or afraid. 2 Timothy 1:8; cf. Revelation 21:8

Requirements For The Work Of The Kingdom … Recruiting: This is the work of evangelism. Acts 8:12; cf. 2 Timothy 2:2 The “gospel of the kingdom” to be preached by those in the kingdom. cf. Matthew 24:14; Luke 4:43; 8:1; 9:2,11,60

Requirements For The Work Of The Kingdom … Training: This is the work of edification. Preparation necessary. Matthew 28:20 Accomplished by reading, studying, and learning the word of God. Put on the armor of God. Ephesians 6:12-13

Requirements For The Work Of The Kingdom … Strength: Put on the armor of God. Ephesians 6:12-13 Be strong. Ephesians 6:10-14 Proper food and exercise! Hebrews 5: 12- 14 Having done all to stand, “STAND THEREFORE.”

Requirements For The Work Of The Kingdom … Courage: “Stand against the wiles of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11-12

The Work Of The Kingdom Demands Correction … This is the work of discipline. The Lord is King, “All authority.” Matthew 28:18; Colossians 3:17 Must walk by the “same rule.” Philippians 3:15 Correct those who “walk disorderly.” 2 Thessalonians 3:6,10-15 Correct or avoid those to teach error. Romans 16:17 Correct those who live immorally. 1 Corinthians 5:1ff

The Work Of The Kingdom Means Caring For Our Own … Spiritual needs. Those overcome in sin. Galatians 6:1 Converting those who err. James 5:19-20 Warning the unruly. 1 Thessalonians 5:14 Physical needs. This is the work of Benevolence Sharing in times of need. Acts 2:44-45; 4:34- 35; 6:1-4; 2 Corinthians 8:13-14

Conclusion: Citizenship In The Kingdom Means Work … Those in the kingdom must preach the gospel, tell others of the benefits in the kingdom, recruit more soldiers. We must train the soldiers of Christ to fight the good fight of faith, guard the faith, earnestly contend for the faith and be set to defend the gospel.
