7.3: Can You Live in the World and in the Kingdom of God at the Same Time?

The short answer is — NO! Do you call yourself a Christian? Why? Is it because you… grew up attending a church with your family? were “born” in that denomination? Like I was born Catholic, to Catholic parents on a Catholic island. aren’t Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, or Hindu, so you must be Christian? attend a church every Sunday? attend a church every Christmas and Easter? grew up forced to attend a church you didn’t understand or had a bad experience, then stopped going? know that Jesus Christ is your personal savior and that He is the only way to get into Heaven? I hope you answered #7. Then you are a true Christian. All others fall into the category of the ones Jesus “never knew”.... Keep reading in my blog.... If you truly want to be born again and have the assurance of salvation and a 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven and that you won’t be left behind at the Rapture, this is what you have to do… Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.  Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly… “Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus' name, Amen.” Jesus Christ is coming back soon! Are you ready? Soli Deo Gloria — To God Alone Be the Glory!
