Dynamics of Choice and Consequence … p14

Living our life in the Kingdom of God:

In the realm of spirituality, the concept of the Kingdom of God often produces images of divine sovereignty, righteousness, and eternal peace. However, when we look deeper into this spiritual realm we can realize there are competing and conflicting forces. (The Kingdom of Light and the kingdom of Darkness)

It is within this spiritual realm that our choices and behaviors hold profound significance, carrying us towards either life or death.

At the heart of this understanding lies the recognition that the Kingdom of God is not a static entity but rather an interactive system governed by dynamics. These dynamics encompass a myriad of influences, ranging from personal decisions to supernatural forces, all working in tandem to shape our reality.

Every choice we make, every action we take, is ingrained with the inertia and energy that propel us towards predetermined outcomes.

Our choices have consequences, echoing the written Word of God: “As you sow, so shall you reap.” Whether consciously or unconsciously, our decisions have influence throughout our fabric of existence, setting into motion a chain of events that ultimately lead us to either life or death. Thus, we are confronted with a profound responsibility—to choose wisely, for our choices hold the power to create or destroy our life!

In essence, the Kingdom of God operates as a system, wherein the principles of cause and effect reign supreme. Every thought, every word, every deed contributes to the balance of this system, either enriching it with life-giving energy or disrupting its harmony with destructive forces. It is within this system that the biblical direction to “choose life” gives us our greatest life-giving outcome.

But what does it mean to choose life within the dynamics of the Kingdom of God? It goes beyond mere survival or physical existence. Rather, it entails aligning oneself with the divine will of God, to produce virtues such as love, compassion, and righteousness. It requires a conscious effort to resist the love of self desires, and instead, to pursue actions that uphold the greater life that God directs us in.

Conversely, to choose death is to embrace a path of spiritual decay and moral decay. It is to succumb to the temptations of greed, hatred, and pride, thereby producing a cycle of suffering and destruction. In the grand scheme of things, such choices serve only to create discord within the Kingdom of God, undermining the Blessings and Promises that it provides.

Amidst the complexity of these dynamics, there remains hope.

Within the Kingdom of God, redemption is always possible. No matter how far we may have strayed, we can always choose to realign ourselves with our God-Given divine purpose, thereby rekindling the flame of life within us. It is through acts of repentance, forgiveness, and transformation that we can break free from the grip of death and embrace the fullness of life.

To conclude, the Kingdom of God is not a distant utopia but a living reality, pulsating with the energy of competing and conflicting forces. Our choices and behaviors serve as the catalysts that shape this reality, determining whether we contribute to life or death. In this life, the choice is ours—to choose life or death, to uphold the divine order or to sow discord. May we heed the call to choose wisely, for in our thoughts and actions lies the destiny of our abundant Kingdom life; something we can experience here and now!
