Don’t be satisfied with conversion, for it is just the launching pad into the gospel of the kingdom. Don’t stop with a salvation of the small gospel of a lesser god, leading you to an equally small impact on life. The witness of too many now filling our pews now testifies to that. Jesus came to give you the Full Monty, a gospel that is fully heard and experienced right here on earth!
If you bought into the gospel of salvation and now one, five, or twenty years later wonder why little has changed in your life, consider “being transformed by the renewing of your mind” into life as a full-fledged citizen of the kingdom of heaven on earth. Ask God for the Real McCoy, not a diluted derivative of it.
The gospel of the kingdom will not leave you wanting for more. This gospel will not leave you wondering why your walk looks so differently than those of the great saints you read about in your Bible, for the simple reason it must be lived-out and not just proclaimed and taught endlessly. This gospel of the kingdom, when fully engaged, can take a disjointed life of meetings and teachings and transform it into a process that leads to the perfection Jesus seeks. He brought the kingdom, embodied it, preached it and lived it and said to all of us forever after, “Follow Me.”
