Earthly Life and Spirit World (Part 2) - 038 Chapter 1. The Kingdom Of God Section 2. Preparation For Going To The Kingdom Of God
1) The Base Of The Kingdom Of God - 5
Where is the base of the Kingdom of God? Some people confidently assert that because they have a certain social position, the Kingdom of God starts from them. If good and evil start together, their opinion might be right.
However, good and evil cannot start together. When evil goes east, good has to go west. When evil stops, good has to move. Moreover, when evil has desire, good must have no desire. Good and evil are opposite.
In this sense, when God comes to this world, who would be the most desirable one to make a bond with God? The heavenly nation starts from the place where God abandoned all hope for mankind. Therefore, people who are satisfied with their present lives cannot be true religious persons.
When you are confronted by the sorrowful fate of life and death, and when you sink into despair and distress, losing the meaning of your existence, you should not be excessively attached to your past. On the contrary, you should seek new value at the place of self-denial. In this process, the base of true goodness can start.
