“This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations; and then shall the end come” (Matthew 24:14)

Jesus did not bring a religion
Jesus brought a KINGDOM
Religion gives you ‘things’ to do—
The Kingdom of God gives you an opportunity to be!
Religion makes you work for salvation
In the Kingdom SALVATION [what Jesus did] works for you
We are HIS CITIZENS and HE enforces His LAWS

Jesus did not bring a religion
Jesus brought a KINGDOM—

“I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him. And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; and His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed.” Daniel 7:13-14

Religion means to search—you are not satisfied
When you find the Kingdom of God you are fulfilled
Religion gives you ‘things’ to do—
The Kingdom of God gives you an opportunity to be!
Religion makes you work for salvation
In the Kingdom SALVATION [what Jesus did] works for you
