For The Kingdom Of God

Is Not Just A Lot Of Talk;

It Is Living By God’s Power.

Scripture

1 Corinthians 4

²⁰ For the Kingdom of God is not just a lot of talk; it is living by God’s power.

Observation

Paul was under verbal attack. His ministry and his authority were being questioned by a group of people that were negatively influencing the church at Corinth. Those first believers came to Christ because of Paul. He was their spiritual father and yet he was under attack, the very people that he had won to Jesus Christ questioned Paul’s motives and authority.

The Kingdom of God is so different from the way this world operates! It is living by God’s power!

Paul said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Ephesians 6:10

That’s why I work and struggle so hard, depending on Christ’s mighty power that works within me. Colossians 1:29

For when we brought you the Good News, it was not only with words but also with power, for the Holy Spirit gave you full assurance that what we said was true. And you know of our concern for you from the way we lived when we were with you. 1 Thessalonians 1:5

So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do. 2 Thessalonians 1:11

⁷ For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7
