Life in the Coming Kingdom of Jesus the Christ

Why do so many Christians drop out of fellowship? Despite experiencing God’s saving grace and power, many no longer attend church regularly. Might this be because they have no Future Hope?

A strong faith is not the answer to everything. A future Hope is also important. Israel had a Resurrection Hope, and held onto it through times of trial. Job 19:23-27, Acts 26:6-8

The Resurrection is not only “the Hope of Israel” but also “the Blessed Hope” of the Church! Titus 2:13

The Promised Hope Luke 1:68-75 “As He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets, which have been since the world began.” Salvation, through God’s Covenant Oath to Abraham.

“And He will send to you Jesus …whom the heavens must receive until the times of the restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.” Acts 3:21 & 3:24-26

The authority of Satan Millennial kingdom of Messiah. God to be “all in all” A present kingdom Partly present, fully in future God’s Eternal Kingdom

John 5:25-29 We have risen to life out of spiritual death. (Eph. 2:1-3) We have passed from one to the other. John 3:36 (as John 7:3). 1 John 3:14 We have “the life of the ages” in present possession – but there’s more!

Revelation 20:5-6 The Kingdom to be inherited in the First Resurrection. 1 Corinthians 15:50 Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom. “The rest of the dead” will rise to judgement 1000 years after the First Resurrection.

Heaven is not our home! We will “meet the Lord in the air” (Acts 28:15) and return to earth with him. We will rule the nations. The meek will then inherit the earth. The Son of David will rule from the throne of God’s kingdom on earth, in Jerusalem. 1 Chronicles 28:5 & 29:23

Acts 26:18 The inheritance of non-Jews is “among those [Jews] who have been sanctified by the faith that is in Jesus.” All the families of the earth will be blessed through Abraham’s true descendants! If your hope is to reach Heaven, you are facing the wrong way!

Matthew 8:11 During Christ’s reign on earth, non-Jews will sit down with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. Christ’s judgement seat will be a far more searching throne of examination than Pilate’s! Matthew 25:31, Romans 14:10, 2 Corinthians 5:10. The faithful should not fear. 1 John 4:15-18

Christ’s Kingdom will be Heaven on Earth!
