              LAWS AND GOVERNMENTS ARE NEEDED

     Laws and governments are needed. "It is not in man to 

direct his steps." The highest and purest possible conduct

is needed to lead us to the highest degree of usefulness and

development. 

.   We find this in the gospel, "the law of the spirit of

life,"  "the perfect law of liberty." To be a law unto ourselves

is rebellion and anarchy. Jesus as a King administers the

affairs of his kingdom. Children of God are its citizens.

Jesus will reign in this kingdom, as now constituted, till he,

after the resurrection, delivers up the kingdom to God the

Father. (1 Corinthains 15:21-24)

Friend, one must choose Jesus as the King of his life,

in order to enter his glorious kingdom and expect at death

to live with him eternally in heaven . This being true, it is

so needful for each of us to open the Bible and follow  the

examples of how one became a part of this kingdom

in the first century. Take the time to read the book of John

to reaffirm your faith in Jesus as the Son of God. Then,

go to the book of The Acts of the Apostles. There, you willl

find eight or nine examples of how the believers

entered the kingdom of God. You too, can join all obedient

believers in heaven some day. Life is too uncertain to delay

in preparing for where we will spend eternity.
