Earthly Life and Spirit World (Part 2) - 037 Chapter 1. The Kingdom Of God Section 2. Preparation For Going To The Kingdom Of God
1) The Base Of The Kingdom Of God - 4
Where is the base of the Kingdom of God? A great number of Christians believe that they can go to that heavenly nation by believing in Jesus. Then, where is the base of the Kingdom of God? When Peter asked, "Where is the Kingdom of God?" Jesus answered that it is not in heaven but in your mind.
Then, what is the base of your mind? Can a sad mind be the base of your mind? Can a proud mind be the base of the Kingdom of God? Can a mind that denies society be the base of your mind? These are not the foundations we are expecting and not the foundations that God can approve.
In this situation, the person seeking the base of the Kingdom of God cannot help being more solitary than anyone else. Why is this so? Because God is solitary, the person has to be solitary. Because God has taken the history of conquest, that person has to also go that way.
Then, if humankind always repents, feeling sad and shedding tears because heaven and earth are filled with sadness, can that be the base of the Kingdom of God? That alone cannot be the base of God's Kingdom.
Even when you serve the church, expecting the time of new joy, you have to determine to resolve the problem of evil in this world. Without such an attitude and determination, the base of the heavenly nation cannot be made. This is an obvious fact.
