Life Under A King

I have heard Bible teachers refer to the Christian life as life under a King. That is exactly what it is. A majority of mankind reject the Kingship of God. They do not want to be under Him. They would prefer to be over Him. It cannot be both ways. There have been many mortal men on earth who were kings, some just and some unjust but God is always just. Mortal kingdoms have some similarities to the Kingdom of God but none are a perfect reflection of the glorious Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is above all others. We need to subject ourselves to Him.

Matthew 6:10: Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Matthew 18:3: And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Luke 6:46: And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

John 8:23: And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

Colossians 1:12: Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

1 Thessalonians 2:12: That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.

1 Timothy 6:14: That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

Hebrews 12:28: Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

James 4:7: Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

1 Peter 5:6: Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

2 Peter 1:11: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
