Why Kingdom Family Values? "We honor, value, celebrate, and pursue healthy relationships." Col. 1 (24-27) Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share on behalf of His body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions. 25 Of this church I was made a minister according to the stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit, so that I might fully carry out the preaching of the word of God, 26 that is, the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints, 27 to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is *Christ in *you, the hope of Glory. *You is in the plural *(body of Christ) body of *Anointed ones. Yes,You Harvest Church! Context: Heaven's Glory coming to earth Glory is often used as a synonym of Heaven, however in the Apostle Paul’s mind, thinking as a leading Jewish theologian of the day, he would have been thinking about: Isaiah 40(5) ]Then the glory of the LORD will be revealed, And all flesh will see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” Habakkuk 2(14) “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD. As the waters cover the sea. Psalms 72 (18-19) blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, Who alone works wonders.19 and blessed be His glorious name forever; and may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen. (Most believe 72 is the last psalm that David wrote. ) The Family of God is Destined to Bless the Earth Gen 22(16-18) and said, “By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17 indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies. 18 In your *seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.” (The Akedah –binding) Gen 28 (14b) and in you and in your descendants shall all the families of the earth be blessed. God's Glory is Restored to the Earth through "the Christ." Rom 3(23) for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; ("Christ in you the hope of glory.") Eph 1(13-14) In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is given as a *pledge (Arrhabṓn), of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory. 1Cor.3(16) Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? ( 70 AD the Temple was destroyed) *Down payment of the full relationship we will ultimately have with the Godhead. The inheritance of heaven on the earth. Christ in us is means we have the anointing of Jesus. "Christ in us, the hope of glory" is for us to restore the world, not to be rescued from it! Romans 8(18-21) For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to *corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
