This little piece is aimed at revealing the truth to believers.

John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

There is nothing so valuable as freedom which comes from the inside, it is that satisfaction you derive from knowing answers to all questions, it makes you relaxed

The truth is, The kingdom of God is right inside you. If you know what that means you will appreciate Christ .

Luke 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Luke 20:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Now, many Christians if you ask them "Do you want to make heaven? " they will answer "I want to make heaven "
That is a very wrong question to ask in the first place.

Luke 17: 20 says heaven does not come with observation. That mean, heaven isn't like some kind of place you will go and observe, heaven is right inside you.
HEAVEN IS JESUS CHRIST IN YOU.

Now, what is the implication of that?
1. it means you are free!
2. it means you don't work anything to achieve heaven.
3. It means heaven is absolutely free like the air you breathe.
4. It means you can go about your day to day duty on this earth freely without the fear of making heaven or not.

Therefore, the question of i want to make heaven should not come into your mind.

Hebrews 4:16 "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."

You have to be very bold, do not entertain fear, fear is of the devil.

Good one!
Those scriptures you quoted attest to what you are saying, but how can one reconcile what you are saying with John 3:3 which says
Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.” ?

I just ended a conversation with some ignorant folk on NL (no need to mention his moniker)

See, that statement by Jesus was strictly for Nicodemus and not for you who lives today.

you don't get it

It's like someone saying in 2016 unless a student pass jamb he cannot enter university and it was written in a book that the person said so.
In 2018, the student passed jamb and in 2019, the student is already in the university.
The student now picks the book that was written in 2018 and saw that it was written that someone says unless a student pass jamb he cannot enter university and laugh

That is what has happened.

2018 was 2000 years ago when it was written in the bible that jesus made that statement to Nicodemus.
2019 is our current day, the book that we read about this thing is the bible, we have entered the university, we have entered the kingdom of God in 2019

So, the kingdom of God is all about time factor.

Think, you will understand.

Where The Righteous Spirit determine The Focus of The Universe.

I get what you are saying.
So, at what point in time can we say we have been in God's kingdom?
Because, there were signs of the coming of Christ and the kingdom of God mentioned in Matthew 24

Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

I tell you, not all nations in the world currently have the gospel of Christ preached, until that is done the kingdom of God will not come

24:21 ]For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

We have not seen the great tribulation yet, this will come after rapture.

24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Jesus described how he will come, and already you are saying we are already in Gods kingdom even when jesus has not yet come

I don't get it

Luke 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

The gate of the kingdom refers to the time of his resurrection, so the kingdom of God is a time factor

Luke 13:25 When once the master of the house is RISEN UP...
that means the gate of the kingdom the time of his resurrection( time factor). It follows that the time after his resurrection is the kingdom of God, and the time before his resurrection is outside the gate of the kingdom, which includes the era of the old testament.

Because, there were signs of the coming of Christ and the kingdom of God mentioned in Matthew 24

point of correction, the signs of his coming to die for mankind 2000 years ago as prophesied by Daniel, not the signs of him coming in the future or any rapture.

24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

I tell you, not all nations in the world currently have the gospel of Christ preached

the world here is not referring to the whole world or the world of today.
It was referring to the world of that time 2000 years ago.

24:21 ]For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

We have not seen the great tribulation yet, this will come after rapture.

the great tribulation happened then, it happened during the period Christ was still alive on earth, Daniel prophesied it.
Do you think it was easy abandoning everything and following Jesus through the wilderness to Jerusalem without food and water ?
It was a terrible thing.

24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Jesus described how he will come, and already you are saying we are already in Gods kingdom even when jesus has not yet come

I don't get it

have you seen verse 34 of that chapter 24?
It says

Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

That concludes everything I'm trying to say to you.
That generation 2000 years ago did not pass until everything Jesus mentioned in Matthew 24 was fulfilled.
The great tribulation,
Him coming like a lightening (which invariably means him resurrecting)
Name it.

So, you see now that we are free but obviously we don't know.

as if we were in some kind of bondage believing otherwise

when a doctrine is making people to be scared of life what do you call that, freedom?
Ofcourse it is bondage let's call a spade a spade

In absolute terms, Christianity is the life we live
