Book 2 of Musings God's Will and Kingdom

God loves Christ. Christ loves me. I love others, as God directs. In this manner we all dwell in joy in God's perfect will and Kingdom.

The Kingdom of God is a simple idea, easily understood. The Kingdom of God is God in Christ in saints governing the works of God's hands.

God loves Jesus Christ. God has given all that He is to the Lord Jesus and Jesus has given all that He is to God. God is content to live in Jesus and express Himself through Jesus. Jesus does nothing of Himself. It is the Father who dwells in Him who does all things.

In the same manner, Jesus has given all that He Is to the believer who gives to Jesus all that he is. Jesus is content to live in such a person and express Himself through that person. Eventually that individual will do nothing of himself. It will be Jesus who dwells in him and who does all things.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)

It is God's will that each one of His elect be filled with the fullness of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Thus there will be one Divine Entity. This is the Kingdom of God, the holy city, the new Jerusalem.

When we become one in the Father and the Son, the world will believe that God has sent Jesus Christ and loves us as He loves Christ.

Then the Kingdom will be enlarged. God's love in Christ in us will be directed toward the saved peoples of the nations, as God directs. Christ will begin to be formed in them. As Christ is formed in them, God and Christ will dwell in them.

This process will continue until God is All and in all in His creation.

Thus we see that some reap Christ a hundredfold; some, sixty fold, and some thirty fold.

The victorious saints, those who follow the Lamb wherever He goes, will have had Christ formed in them completely.

The remainder of the Church will have had Christ formed in them to a lesser extent.

The saved peoples of the nations will have had Christ formed in them to a yet lesser extent.

Christ will be in all people, and God in Him. Christ will be the Center and Circumference of the entire creation. All shall be crucified and raised in Christ. All shall be made new in Christ. Then a most marvelous eternity shall commence.

For he "has put everything under his feet." Now when it says that "everything" has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all. (I Corinthians 15:27-28)
