The Only Foundation (Jesus Christ) – part II

Jesus Worldview

The gospel of the kingdom of Jesus Christ is rarely heard today. We hear portions of hit broken up and fractured in a variety of churches. Some churches you hear none of it. The gospel of the kingdom of Jesus Christ is what turned the world on its head in the first century. It infuriates many to the point of causing them to commit murder. It revolutionizes many more. This gospel is being restored in the earth today.

Five Common Gospels Of Today: (see part I)

  • Christian Gospel of libertinism
  • The Christian Gospel of legalism
  • Christian Gospel of Catholicism
  • Gospel of progressivism and enlightenment
  • Gospel of Islam

There are many others and strange partials as people try to explain God…..But with this post I hope to compare and contrast these with the gospel of the kingdom we find in scripture.

The Gospel of The Kingdom of Jesus Christ

John the Baptist preached it, Jesus preached it, the disciples preached it and the apostle Paul preached it to the gentiles.

The message of the gospel (good news) of the kingdom was that your world is entirely controlled by Satan. All of its systems enslaved to the demonic powers in control. Governmental, economic, religious (including much of Christianity), entertainment…all systems of Satan, controlled by wicked powers in high places.

You are loyal to this system and therefore are its slave.

God is uprooting and displacing this system with the currently present and increasing kingdom of his son, Jesus Christ.

Turn from your loyalty to the world system, repent of your sins and join God in his son Jesus Christ. Believe in him and completely surrender your life to him and follow him. Let him have his way in your life daily.

Baptism in water was an outward display of this turning and dying to Satan’s world and your loyalty to him.

The gospel of kingdom of Jesus Christ is about a new creation displacing the old. It’s about our death and his new life. This gospel is rarely preached today. We have shrunk it down to a miniscule version of its formal self.

The gospel of the kingdom of Jesus Christ is like an insurgency within Satan’s domain.

God’s Restorative Work

The Lord himself is restoring this gospel of the kingdom message.

In these last days Jesus Christ is Gods communication with man (Hebrews1). Jesus Christ himself embodies the union between God and man. God speaks to man through his son Jesus Christ alone, God speaks to us in the language of Jesus Christ alone.

If our foundation is not on the gospel of the kingdom of Jesus Christ we will struggle with confusion about God. Our worldview will be inaccurate and not match well with reality.

Much more to come on this.

Also don’t miss all the great work of Frank Viola on recovering the gospel of the kingdom.

The Only Foundation of Jesus Christ – part I

Jesus Worldview

For a Christian the gospel that we believe is like our life’s foundation or our world view. We can track almost all of our behavior back to our gospel. Jesus Christ himself is the only foundation that will move into the future.

1 Corinthians 3:10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. 11 For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

We should constantly reconsider and evaluate our own foundation, what we believe and why. We can also watch other people and find out what they believe about Jesus and their relation to him.

  • Is your worldview of God like a Santa’s nice list for blessings. God’s world revolves around your comfort and success? Your life is its foundation.
  • Is your gospel an after life business, an evangelism program that you are called to work hard for to please God? Foundation is self.
  • Is your worldview of God and church a social club for those going to heaven, “lets just all hang out and be friendly?”

Our gospel shows in our behavior, desire that it’s the same one Paul and John the Baptist and Jesus himself preached. That gospels is Jesus himself who is the only foundation, the chief cornerstone himself. Constantly be willing to have your foundation examined and perfected.

There are many gospels out there. More than ever, many involve parts of Jesus’, most steal ideas from him then exclude him.

Five Common Gospels Of Today:

Christian Gospel of libertinism, this gospel is primarily an afterlife program which teaches how you live doesn’t matter, it over emphasizes grace so that people can live and do whatever they want. Because their after life is set. Its true but its twisted and incomplete.

Christian Gospel of legalism, this gospel is about pleasing God with a list of things to try hard and accomplish. It over emphasizes the human role in service and it become extremely divisive because every legalist has a different list.

Christian Gospel of Catholicism, this gospel is about the catholic church centered in Rome, it seeks to sign people up under the Vatican’s hierarchy. It’s current version over emphasizes itself, the saints and Mary’s role in interacting with God. It has components of both libertinism and legalism.

Gospel of progressivism and enlightenment. Very common today, this gospel has as its foundation evolutionary theory, it believes humanity came up from the earth is evolving into something better and better. It emphasizes education and knowledge itself as the mechanism of human progress. This gospel enjoys the support of many governments in the world today as its official message and is taught to children at a very young age. It sees itself as superior to all religions. Enlightenment thinking typically pushes Jesus down as some religious figure while it plagiarises many of his teachings.

Gospel of Islam, This gospel is a message that rejects Jesus as God and exalts Allah as the single and one and only true God. There are many versions of it, some accept the old testament prophets view Jesus as one of them. Its central message is believe that Allah is one and only true God

There are many others….

The Gospel John the Baptist and Jesus and Paul preached

The gospel of the kingdom. I will elaborate in detail in Part II on 3/3/18.

Preview: The gospel of kingdom of Jesus Christ is about a new creation displacing the old. It’s about our death and his new life.

Not Called to Make the World a Better Place

Pop-Music Philosophy

“If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change.” – Michael Jackson

I hear many Christians today saying “we want to make the world a better place.” Of course this is noble and is an effort to be admired but I think this sentiment is ill advised. The reason I say this is not because I don’t think that the world needs to be better. It is not because I don’t wish it were better. Frankly I think the world is an absolute mess.

The reason I think this world-view is ill advised is because it is not in step with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Jesus does not want to make the world a better place. Jesus is actually displacing the world with himself and his new humanity.

The idea that the world will be made better by us being kinder or more generous doesn’t reflect reality.

This World-System Has No Future

Imagine its 1943 in Nazi Germany and the Germans started saying “let’s make Nazi Germany a better place.” At the peak of the war crimes, the killings, the concentration camps. That is the equivalent of us saying it today in comparison to what is coming in Jesus Christ. Surrender to the coming regime of Jesus Christ is the only option. But not a physical military surrender an inner spiritual surrender. Until that happens, if billions are in rebellion to the real Lord of the earth, this world should not be “made better.”

It’s not reform we are pushing for in the world it’s a conquering nonviolent displacement of Satan.

The world will not be better until Jesus Christ (and not Satan) is absolute Lord. This world as we know it has absolutely no future. I want to make Jesus Lord of heaven AND EARTH. Because this world is still being run by satanic systems and forces.

Our governmental, religious, economic, entertainment, and educational systems are still dominated and controlled by satanic forces. Some of them reluctantly tolerate Christian influence begrudgingly and only if we are kept at the bottom of their hierarchies.

Make the World…Surrendered to Him

Maga

Editing our philosophy to live by.

The only thing that I want to see the world become is subject and surrendered to the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. Anything less than that is just pop music.

More about the coming kingdom of Jesus Christ.
