What Part Do We Have in the Kingdom of God?

God has called us. (Matt.22:14) We have answered. (Rev.17:14) We have turned from the pleasures of sin and committed ourselves to a life of pleasing God. (Heb.11:25 Col.1:10, 1John 3:22)

We have repented and had all our sins washed away in the name of Jesus. (Acts 22:16) God has mercifully filled us with His Holy Ghost so we can walk in His Spirit (Titus 3:5, Gal.5:16, 22-25).

At creation, the first commandment God gave to Adam and Eve was to be fruitful and multiply. (Gen.1:27-28)

When we are in Christ (Acts 2:38), we are a new creation (2Cor.5:17 NKJV, Eph.4:24). The first command God gave to us as the newborn church is to be fruitful and multiply. (Mark 16:15-16, Acts 1:8, John 20:21-23)

The church is fruitful and multiplies by the gospel. (Acts 2:38-39, Mark 16:20, 1Cor.4:15, Acts 2:41, Acts 4:4, Acts 5:14, Acts 6:7, Acts 8:12, Acts 9:31, Acts 11:23-24)

We are laborers together with Jesus. (1Cor.3:9) When we are in Christ we have obeyed the gospel, taking His yoke upon us. (Eph.3:6, Matt.11:28-30)

Yoked together with Jesus by the gospel, we labor together with Him in the field of souls in the world (Matt.13:37-38, 1Pet.1:23) bringing them the gospel of salvation. (Eph.1:13-14)

"To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

"Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God." - 2 Corinthians 5:19-20 KJV

Every child of God has a testimony. (Acts 22:18, Rev. 6:9, Rev. 12:10-11, Rev. 19:10)

Every child of God can be a witness of Jesus. (Acts 1:8)

Every child of God can pray for souls to be saved. (Gal.4:19, Eph.6:18-20)
