What Part Do We Have in the Kingdom of God?
God has called us. (Matthew 22:14). We have answered. (Revelation 17:14). We have turned from the pleasures of sin and committed ourselves to a life of pleasing God. (Hebrews 11:25 Colossians 1:10, 1John 3:22).
We have repented and had all our sins washed away by baptism 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, Galatians 5:16, 22-25).
At creation, the first commandment God gave to Adam and Eve was to be fruitful and multiply. (Genesis 1:27-28).
When we are in Christ (Acts 2:38), we are a new creation (2Corinthians 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, 1Corinthians 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. (1Corinthians 3:9). When we are in Christ, we have obeyed the gospel, taking His yoke upon us. (Ephesians 3:6, Matthew 11:28-30, 1Peter 4:17).
Yoked together with Jesus by the gospel, we labor together with Him in the field of souls in the world (Matthew 13:37-38, 1Peter 1:23) bringing them the gospel of salvation. (Ephesians 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, Revelation 6:9, Revelation 12:10-11, Revelation 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. (Galatians 4:19, Ephesians 6:18-20).
