Mike its not so hard.
The Holy Spirit is the
EARNEST OF OUR INHERITANCE.
The inheritance is greater than the earnest! The kingdom is presently on two levels.
Now watch this please.
Level a. Present.
13Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and
hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Col 1:13-14
Level b. Future.
10Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11For so an entrance shall be ministered
unto you abundantly
into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 1:10-11
Peter is writing to Christians who by faith are in the kingdom. Yet he tells
THEM if they bear fruit an
ENTRANCE shall be granted them
INTO THE KINGDOM OF CHRIST!
The kingdom of the Holy Ghost realm....comes not with observation. That realm or walk of faith where no one sees anything. We walk by faith and not by sight.
