ADOPTING KINGDOM PERSPECTIVE

Understand what you have, and how to create mind control in your life as a believer. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, declares and affirms that He is the Son of God. Throughout his ministry, he announced who he was, asserted his power and authority, denounced all false pretensions, and proclaimed that those who did not belong to the kingdom were enemies. How can we adopt the perspective of the Kingdom? We can adopt by identifying with 1 Peter 2:9, that we are indeed worthy of the priesthood through the purifying blood of Jesus Christ that sanctifies, cleanses, and justifies us. Knowing that Christ has declared that we are neither Jews nor Gentiles, nor male and female in his kingdom. That's why he wants us to be Christ-like functioning as an exceptionally good person in God’s will. It is expected of us to know our worth and not be willing to settle for a second choice best.

Having the understanding of the vital role of the willingness to apologize and forgive each other. For man to live the kingdom life here on earth in the kingdom of God, unresolved problems between brothers and families must be set aside and seek God's repentance. Unfortunately, many people still do not understand that it is impossible to go to heaven with unforgiveness in the heart. Unforgiveness is our inability to free ourselves and others from unresolved problems. Our inability to value and esteem one another is another major problem, as it reveals that our hearts are not yet conformed to the ways of Christ.

 The saint or believer must understand that after accepting Christ and entering into a relationship with God, the journey to holiness has only just begun. God’s expectation of believers is to seek him wholeheartedly. However, for us to do so, we must let go of our ties to culture, religion, tradition, and the carnal ways of thinking. For they are now obstacles to the progress of our new journey. Christ came to earth and returned to the Father as the Lamb without blemish. Christ's work here on earth was without spot or wrinkle in his refusal to accept the ways of the world and the desires of the flesh.

As a man, he shows us how to live above the barriers of this world. Everything that is in us that is not in the image of Christ becomes barriers, and we must rid the soul of such. Therefore, the stains and wrinkles of evil thoughts must die for us to build a healthy relationship with Christ. And Christ, who overcame these barriers, shows us how and tells the believers in the word to lay them down. Fortunately, for us, sons and joint heirs Christ broke down barriers by leaving many examples for us to follow.
