THE QUEST FOR GOD AND HIS KINGDOM: HIS KINGDOM IS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE AND JOY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“For the KINGDOM of God is not a matter of EATING and DRINKING [what one likes], but of RIGHTEOUSNESS and PEACE and JOY in the Holy Spirit”<\/em> Romans 14:17 (Amplified).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Kingdom of God in course of doing life and living godly in grace – is much more about RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE and JOY in the Holy Spirit than about FOOD and DRINK and PLEASURE as many will crave and even sell their FAITH and conscience to have and possess.<\/span><\/p>\n

God’s kingdom is of righteousness because the WORK OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is of Christ Jesus and it’s efficacious and fruitful to give the right to stand before God and be emboldened in grace – without shame, fear, unsafe, unsecure, inferiorly and such like as it’s written of the WORK and EFFECT:<\/span><\/p>\n

“And the WORK of RIGHTEOUSNESS shall be PEACE; and the EFFECT of RIGHTEOUSNESS QUIETNESS and ASSURANCE for ever”<\/em> Isaiah 32:17.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“And the FRUIT of righteousness is SOWN in PEACE of them that make PEACE”<\/em> James 3:18.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The WORK to have a righteous STAND with God in Christ Jesus stead gives PEACE, and the EFFECT of that righteous STAND gives QUIETNESS and ASSURANCE for ever. What a position to take a stand and enjoy God through life in grace.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED by faith, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have ACCESS by faith into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God”<\/em> Romans 5:1-2.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Do ensure that your WORK OF RIGHTEOUSNESS with God leads you to PEACE – meaning, brings about PEACE, and the RIGHTEOUS EFFECT eventually gives ASSURANCE and QUIETNESS, and not confusion and schism and hopelessness.<\/span><\/p>\n

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!<\/span><\/p>\n

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:<\/span><\/p>\n

“For Christ is the end of the law for RIGHTEOUSNESS to EVERY ONE THAT BELIEVETH”<\/em> Romans 10:4<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His KINGDOM and His RIGHTEOUSNESS [His way of doing and being right\u2014the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also”<\/em> Matthew 6:33 (Amplified).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“For he hath MADE him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” <\/em>2 Corinthians 5:21.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE UNTO US wisdom, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 that, according as it is written, He that GLORIETH, let him GLORY in the Lord”<\/em> 1 Corinthians 1:30-31.
