Kingdom Living Journal

Kingdom Living Journal Kingdom Living Journal is our teaching blog to understand the the Kingdom of God, and its centrality to all of life especially in each sphere of our lives.

Kingdom Living Journal formerly The Kingdom Dimension that was solely focused on our radio broadcast currently not functioning. I have over the years had different ministry sites and now wanting to steward my time more effectively rather than have different blogs with teaching I am setting up one site with all my teaching material as well as having writers of content that I believe is impacting to

our central mission which is "The re-establishing of the Centrality of God's Kingdom through this generation to the generations ahead. Our other sites will be changed to reflect their own particular function and will be linking to KingdomLivingJournal.com

I have wondered this for years, so am asking this. Had the English had a verb for righteous/ness would we struggle to understand Justification. When the English translators were looking to translate the Greek word 'dikaioō' they, from what I understand, went to the French language for a verb and came up with justified, meaning to live righteously, should we make a verb from righteous/ness, like "righteousified", after all it means to live out 'our' righteousness, because we have been made the righteousness of God, meaning made one with Father in Christ Jesus. After all we were created in the image (as sons) of God, so that we being trained to become Sons, meaning to act as our Father would act, as Jesus' life on earth demonstrated, being obedient to the will of His Father even to His death on the cross, and rising again defeated death. What are your thoughts?

I received a response, and appeared that my point was missed, so I added the following answer.

Thanks mate! However, just focusing on the term justification, and seeing how different groups promote their understanding of the term, which bring some confusion, especially between Calvinists and the many non-Calvinist groups. I have sensed that the confusion would not exist if the English language actually had a verb for the term righteous/ness as the Greek language does. As to sin, we have been given the gift called grace to resist sin, for Paul is declaring, "where sin abounds, Grace 'to resist those said sins, abounds more, because of Holy Spirit dwelling in us His Temple, and thus we in coming into maturity by being led by Holy Spirit in all things, including resisting any desire to sin, and thus are actually living out our Sonship (IMAGE) with Our Father, and the imputed Righteousness makes us ONE with Him, and thereby can act like God (LIKENESS) as Jesus the Last Adam born in His image and then given authority to act on God's behalf in all things because He had His Fathers heart and mind. Something that Pentecostals miss by focusing on tongues rather than "all in one accord" meaning to have the same heart and mind, thus fulfilling Christ's payer, Father make them one as we are one.

Any thoughts?

I love this quote by Origen when writing about Paul's letter to the Romans. "First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world." Romans1:8 Origen thus writes "The Christ of God shows His superiority to all rulers by entering into their provinces and summoning men out of them to be subject to Christ Himself" Christ had entered Rome, "the capital of the world," and had transformed many of its citizens into subjects of His Kingdom. Origen; Commentary on Romans.

Politics and Christianity both bring division because they reveal the true nature of people.

While much of the church is waiting for some RAPTURE, they are missing a greater truth, "we are already seated with Christ".

ALWAYS remember this; politicians when elected think they are to rule over us, when in fact they are our servants.
