Eternal Kingdom

 

 

I will establish his line forever, his throne as long as the heavens endure.
Psalm 89:29

In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.
Daniel 2:44

He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.
Luke 1:32-33

Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 1:10-11

God's kingdom is an Eternal Kingdom. Eternity is a hard concept to grasp; we are such creatures of time; everything has a beginning and an end. In addition to that, we live in a war-torn world. Will it ever end?

My husband and I just re-watched the movie, Miss Congeniality. What was it that every contestant in the beauty pageant wanted? World peace! Another favorite series of our is the Star Wars movies. The first movie (actually the 4th in the series) ended so victoriously, but was that the end? No! The victory established in the first movie was short-lived; soon the Empire was back with another attempt to crush the rebellion.

In the face of continual world conflict, the words of Daniel 2:44 are a refreshing oasis, In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever. The ultimate victory of good over evil will not come at the hands of men, but rather at the hands of God. This victory will be eternal.

What is the proper response to such knowledge? What do we need to do? Be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:10-11 should be the true life goal for every person on this earth. This life is so short; in relation to eternity, it is almost non-existent. Yet, our focus in this short life has eternal implications. Our response to Christ is the only determining factor; our faith is in God alone who is able to save us and keep us for eternity.

Why study at Christian Success Institute?

God states in His Holy Word many times that He wants to prosper us. He created a magnificent world full of wealth, beauty and resources for those of His creation who love Him. Christ told us that if we love Him we will follow His Commandments. We are told to study to show ourselves approved. The mission of CSI is to teach Biblical Success Principles while making Christ the focus of our lives.

By seeking Christ, by studying the Word of God, we place ourselves in a position of favor in the eyes of our Holy Creator. We want everyone to learn the principles of Stewardship which will prove us. In the parable of the Servants and the talents, we see that God will prosper us and favor us with prosperity when we use His direction in the way we handle His property.
