Radical Evangelism In God's Name
THE KINGDOM OF GOD
This teaching was inspired by God The Father, The Son Jesus Christ & The Holy Ghost & originally spoken many years ago through my brother in Christ Johnny M. Ramirez. I have updated it and added a few scripture references for a great understanding of this awesome teaching. I pray you are blessed by it.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33 KJV)
​
​

NOTE: WE FIND ALL OF THE THINGS MENTIONED IN ROMANS 14:17 THROUGH JESUS.
Q: Who is "Jesus"?
A: John 1:1 & 14 (KJV)
1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God
14. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
​
Let's take a look at how detailed the woring of these two bible verses are in The Amplified Bible for a greater understanding...
John 1:1 & 14 (AMP)
1. IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.
14. And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth.
"THE WORD"
2 Timothy 2:15 (AMP)
Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth.
Psalm 1:1&2 (NKJV)
1. Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the tungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night
WE ARE NO LONGER BOUND BY THE LAW, BUT WE ARE COVERED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS AND WE HAVE GRACE THROUGH OUR GOD THE FATHER, THE HOLY GHOST & THE SON, JESUS CHRIST!
