Not Far From The Kingdom Mark 12:28-34

Introduction  The kingdom of God was a focal point of prophecy (Gen. 49:8-10; Isa. 9:6-7; Dan. 2:44-45).  As the time drew nigh for God’s purpose to be fulfilled, both John the Baptist (Matt. 3:1-2) and Jesus Christ (Matt. 4:17) preached that “the kingdom of God is at hand.”  Not only was the kingdom of God near unto men, but the Bible also speaks of men who were near unto the kingdom (Mark 12:28-34).

The Nature of the Kingdom  When Scripture speaks of the kingdom of God, it describes a monarchial form of spiritual government (Luke 1:31-33; Col. 3:17; Eph. 2:19-20).  Furthermore, “the kingdom of God” and “the church of Christ” refer to the same spiritual realm (Matt. 16:16-19; Col. 1:13-14, 18; Heb. 12:22-24, 28-29; Rev. 1:4, 6, 9).

The Dividing Line  In the New Testament the kingdom of God is represented as both a rule unto which man must submit (Luke 17:20- 21; Rom. 14:16-17) and a realm into which man must enter (Luke 16:16; Matt. 4:23-25).  In either case, we may be near unto or far from God’s kingdom, depending upon our attitude and disposition.

The Qualities Of Nearness  Many are far from the kingdom of God (Rom. 3:10-18).  Others, like this scribe, have progressed spiritually to the point that they are near to the kingdom of God.

The Qualities Of Nearness  This Scribe was Knowledgeable  This Scribe was Open-Minded  This Scribe was Courageous  This Scribe was Humble

The Terms Of Admission  To enter the kingdom of God, one must be born of the water and the Spirit (John 3:1-5).  This demands faith in Christ (John 8:24)  This demands repentance from past sins (Luke 13:3)  This demands confession that Jesus is the son of God (Matt. 10:32-33)  This demands baptism into Christ for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38; 22:16; Rom. 6:3-4; Gal. 3:26-27)

Conclusion  Many today are in the same condition as this scribe.  Why remain on the outside looking in?  Why remain on the borderland of God’s kingdom?  If you believe, do not hesitate. Obey today!
