<p>Seeing the kingdom of God is believing that God is totally good and a competent being who is right here with us to look after us is necessary to experience the eternal kind of life now in the Kingdom of God.</p>

<p>Idea: Entering the Eternal Kind of life now is available through the immediate space around us when His unseen Kingdom connects with the unseen spiritual life that is ours by God’s design.</p>

<p>To live a life where my inner self more fully reflects the&nbsp;inner life of Jesus with growing success requires us to surrender our “members” as instruments of righteousness to God. We do this when we recognize our broken state and restore what is broken with God.</p>

<p>Meaningful transformation of the inner self (our image&nbsp;bearing capacities) requires us to adopt the spiritual practices of Jesus, first and foremost of which is having ears to hear God</p>

<p>Meaningful transformation of the inner self (our image bearing capacities) requires us to adopt the spiritual practices of Jesus, first and foremost of which is having ears to hear God.</p>

<p>Jesus proclaimed His gospel and performed the&nbsp;availability of the kingdom of the heavens by acting with God's rule from the heavens by meeting the desperate needs of people around Him, from His heart of pure mercy, showing us who and how we are blessed by God.</p>

<p>No human condition excludes us from the free&nbsp;availability (God's Pure Mercy) of God's rule and righteousness bringing His care and deliverance to all without distinction.</p>

<p>To be the salt of the earth and light of the world we&nbsp;must be living in fulfillment of the Law of God that we have been taught, and it is only achievable in the Kingdom of God.</p>

<p>Jesus teaches us pursuing a heart of goodness,&nbsp;always seeks to obey God's law to not murder from having a heart that feels anger yet does not sin by understanding its dangerous, knowing its purpose, and expressing it as Jesus would if he were us.</p>

<p>We must tame our anger to become the kind of&nbsp;people who live in God’s Kingdom, able to love, forgive and seek reconciliation without delay.</p>
