The kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.
The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed.
People will not point to the kingdom of God because the kingdom of God is within our midst.
Unless we change and become like children we will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
The kingdom of heaven belongs to those such as little children.
Whoever takes the lowly position of a child here is great in the kingdom of heaven.
Anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.
It is very hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.
The poor and the poor in spirit are blessed for theirs is the kingdom of God.
Those persecuted because of righteousness are blessed for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Since the days of John the Baptist the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence, and violent people have been raiding it.
No one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.
No one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.
Not all who call Jesus ‘Lord’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, only the one who does the will of the Father who is in heaven.
Simon Peter recognized Jesus as Messiah, the Son of the living God.
Jesus told Simon son of Jonah he is blessed because that was not revealed to him by flesh and blood, but by the Father in heaven.
Then he named him Peter and started his church which the gates of Hades will not overcome.
He promised Peter he will give him the keys to the kingdom of heaven and that whatever he binds or looses on earth will be bound or loosed in heaven as well.
He promises his church the same.
Many will see the kingdom of God and attempt to enter. They will see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God taking their seats at the feast in the kingdom of God along with many who come from east and west and north and south.
They will weep and gnash their teeth when the owner of the house says ‘Away from me, all you evildoers!’
Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.
The time has come.
The kingdom of God has come near.
Repent and believe the good news.
