Adventures in Odyssey - The Kingdom of Heaven

Today on the way home, Adventures in Odyssey was talking about The Kingdom of Heaven. I learned that sometimes as we go through this life, we can make the incorrect but logical conclusion that what we can see is all that is real. We forget or are not aware that there is something more that we cannot currently see or physically experience. Some people call this the Kingdom of God. It is eternal, not temporal; spiritual, not physical; mysterious yet very authentic and quite factual.

How does one discover this Kingdom of Heaven? It is accomplished by having faith in the Word of God, the Bible, that describes and offers assurance of its existence. This type of faith is based on one’s belief that Jesus, described in the Bible, is in fact God and came to the Earth in the form of a man to live among us and later go to the cross. Here Jesus willing accepted the penalty of our sin so that those who believe would no longer be obligated to this debt. He died, was buried and then rose again just as Scripture predicted and is currently in Heaven.

Simple acceptance / belief of this will initiate one’s personal relationship with Jesus and opens one’s eyes to the ever present, very real, Kingdom of Heaven.
