Lesson 12 Review: Receiving an Unshakable Kingdom

 

Lesson 12 Receiving an Unshakable Kingdom

Introduction

Memory Text: “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear” (Hebrews 12:28, NKJV).

Jesus has received a kingdom from God, the Judge and He is going to share His kingdom with His believers, the saints of the Most High who will possess it forever. He has also stood as our mediator to ensure every Believer inherits this Kingdom, this Kingdom is an unshakable kingdom that will have no end.

What is peculiar about Mount Zion?

The inauguration of Jesus’ kingly rule, priestly ministry and the inauguration of the new covenant are events that take place in Mount Zion.

Why are we all called “firstborns”?

We are the “firstborn” because we share the inheritance of the First Born par excellence, Jesus.

If it is a celebration that is described in Hebrews 12:23, Why is God described as a Judge there?

“The celebration described alludes to a future judgment, God the Judge, presides and books are used, and the result of this future judgment from the books is that God’s people receive the kingdom.”

What does the shaking of the heavens and the earth mean?

The “shaking” of heaven and earth simply refers to the destruction of God’s enemies, which include all unbelieving sinners, and Satan.

What cannot be shaken when the heavens and the earth shake?

The righteous will never be shaken. They will never be shaken because they trust in the Lord who can never be shaken.

How do we offer God an acceptable offering?

We offer God acceptable offering by doing good and sharing what we have. We are to show brotherly love to others, just as Jesus showed brotherly to us and gave us the right to be firstborns in His kingdom. Brotherly love means to be hospitable, to visit those who are in prison or have been mistreated and to reject adultery and covetousness.

In Conclusion,

The Kingdom of God is an unshakable kingdom, it is a Kingdom prepared for the righteous, and because the righteous cannot be shaken the Kingdom cannot be shaken too. The heavens and earth will be shaken, this means the enemies of God will be destroyed but they that trust in the Lord will not be moved. I pray that God helps us to trust in Him so we can receive the unshakable Kingdom in Jesus’ name.
