How could any form of government be run faithfully when most people are carnal? I do think there is an ethical predisposition if taught some bare basics but even that seems to be going by the wayside. I pray for our country. judy

invites contemplation on God's Kingdom.
1 cor 15 :24
24. Then comes the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
When the end comes there will not be a need for rules, all will obey God, there will not be a need for authority, all will have the precepts of God written in their hearts and hearts of stone will have been changed, and there will not be a need for power, death will be vanquished and God will be all in all. All will enter into Gods rest. Jesus will be the last one after He has delivered up the kingdom to the Father. Jesus is the first and last. Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega.
Such a kingdom is most worthy to be seeking. Seek you first the kingdom of God and all these things, what things...rules will be shadows and will vanish, authorities will not lord it over anyone and power will have done its work.
We know that all power in heaven and earth is given to Christ. It is His work within us that shall bring each one of us to the full height of His perfection when finally, at the end, in the order He has designated, God will be all in all.

Hi Arc,
I think you paraphrased 1Cor 15:24 beautifully. The part I put in bold immediately brought to mind the image of Captain Sully (the pilot that landed the plane in the Hudson River) checking the plane a few times to make sure no one was left behind (like the parable of the 99 sheep and the one lost). Capt. Sully was the last one after he had made sure all were saved. Is my analogy on target? I only ask because sometimes I think I have something right and I am totally (spiritually) off the mark. I don't mean to bring the spiritual down to physical, I am just a "visual" learner.

If an analogy or a song, or a movie or a flower or a sunset turns our minds to study the Word of God and compare Spiritual with Spiritual this is His Gift to us. It is His Glory to reveal His love for us in deeper proximity to our own personal experiences of life.
Jesus said. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. John 15 :13
Through your analogy Eileen my mind was caused to think of the above Scripture. So Who is doing the directing in this discussion? The Spirit of Christ Himself. Not you or I. He is the cause of everything. He is causing all who are studying His Word here in BT to walk in HIS good works to learn of Him His ways and Spirit.
