The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses into it. Luke 16:16
It is one thing to see the kingdom (John 3:3), it is another to enter into the kingdom. (John 3:5)
The Kingdom of God represents being "joint-heirs with Christ"
"Hearken, my beloved brethren, Has not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to them that love him?" James 2:5
The fall of man (Genesis 2:15-3:24) was an act of treason against God's Word and the consequences was spiritual and physical death. And as man could not redeem himself, for "we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." (Isaiah 64:6). But God has provided the "Way" through the blood of Christ as the atonement to restore "the Truth and the Life." (John 14:7)
Religions are a vain attempt to restore man's personal relationship to God.
"Religion is the toil of mankind in his search for the Kingdom." Myles Munroe, Rediscovering the Kingdom
Houses of worship, or "entering God's house" does not satisfy the requirement of God dwelling in you. Houses of worship are gatherings for fellowship in Christ. The Kingdom of God and "church" are distinct, and each are to be kept in perspective.
Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom
of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 7:21
"And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? for you are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people." 2 Corinthians 6:16
What Name did Jesus "manifest?"
And now, O Father, glorify me with Your own self with the glory which I had with You before the world was. I have manifested your name unto the men which you gave me out of the world: Yours they were, and You gave them to me; and they have kept Your word. John 17:5-6
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Matthew 12:50
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their
Father. Who has ears to hear, let him hear. Matthew
13:43
