Notes
Kingdom living is about God’s power working within us. However, fully understanding what this means and how to realize that potential can feel like a treasure hunt. All of us are missing out on some of what God has in store for us because we are not aware of the potential, are not looking for the treasure, or are not willing to trust Jesus for what he has already purchased on our behalf. The truth is in order to get the best of both worlds, we must die and be born again. It’s pledging allegiance to Jesus so that we can gain entry into the kingdom of God.
