The Kingdom is within you .
Is the Kingdom of God already on the inside everyone ?
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said,
The kingdom of God comes not with observation:
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Luke 17:20-21
When Jesus told the Pharisees that the Kingdom of God dosn't come with observation but is wthin you He was really telling them its not about your much External doing as it is the right Internal believing . Thats why Jesus said the Kingdom of God was within you .
One definition for within is in your midst. The word became flesh and was in their midst to persuade their hearts about where true Life that they were striving for was found .
Jesus wasn't saying the kingdom of God was already in everyone they just don't know it ..
But He was telling the pharisees that the only way to enter into and to see the kingdom of God was a matter of the heart being persuade by the faith to believe the truth about where true Life of God was found .
The within part is a matter of the Heart being persuade to believe or to respond to the truth that there is no life apart from Jesus Christ who is the only way, truth and the Life
And so it is today ..
Christ is not in everyone but he knocks on the door of every heart saying let me come in
And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.1 John 5:11-14
