Day 112: Three Things

The kingdom of God right now is three things: it’s righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. And if you’re not in the kingdom and not under the king there is no righteousness. You’re simply a rebel. You may be a polite religious rebel, but you’re a rebel. You may be an Assemblies of God rebel, you may be a Roman Catholic rebel, but you’re just a rebel. The only righteousness is under the Kingship of Jesus, and after that there is peace and joy. Don’t pursue peace, pursue righteousness and peace will take care of itself. But apart from righteousness there is no peace. God says there is no peace to the wicked.
