Why do we build a throne for God

For God sits upon the throne and reigns. His kingdom comes to the earth - as it is in the Heaven.
That is why we are building a throne for God here on earth as well. · Many people are working to ensure that the Kingdom of God, which they await, becomes visible in the lives and actions of believers and the congregation. Through their actions and the standard of their moral conduct, they shape a way of life and invite others to join them in it. This is not compatible with the command to invite people globally. Therefore, the local church endeavours to adapt the message to the local culture. And here we are: we’re already building a religion, a philosophical system or a club, carefully selecting the ideas from the verses of the Bible that suit us. · The ‘throne-builder’ works to ensure that the kingdom which, according to Jesus Christ, has come* (Mark 1:15) is made visible, that the King reigns and that His reign extends into the lives of believers, those who walk in Jesus. The latter means, on the one hand, that they should be in the Truth and walk in it – as John, for example, says. On the other hand, it means that the countless forms of God’s personality may be represented to humanity through us, through the Church. In this case, there is no coding because, according to the Scriptures, all nations can come directly to Jesus, and he is not a shape-shifter or a being with multiple forms. We were created in his image.
The new Creature is this: Here there is no longer Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian or Scythian, slave or free; there is neither male nor female, for they are all one in Christ, and Christ is in all and everything (Gal 3:28; Col 3:11. The two citation are united here) The Word, God’s creative word, however, took on a new form at the moment of the Saviour’s arrival. The Word became flesh in Christ — and we are his followers. This is a sure exit point, an escape from the religion of written doctrine: the visible and active expression of God’s holiness, his humble work, and his self-sacrificing, loving heart. Jesus Christ supports every believer on their journey of faith. Yet we still harbour that old inclination to act of our own free will and by our own strength, even when it comes to our Christian affairs. At such times, we no longer even realise how patient and merciful the Lord is towards us. But in the same time Jesus Christ is able to give full support to the second group, for He Himself says:
‘Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness**’ (Matthew 6:33); all the rest will be given to you as well... When we live/act according to His priorities, we give him the full respect and status befitting the supreme ruler.

* arrived {e.g. train}
** not ‘his righteousness’ but ‘his being righteous’. These are two different expressions, and this distinction is of great significance from the perspective of Christian teaching.

When we live/act according to His priorities, we give him the full respect and status befitting the supreme ruler.

To adopt this attitude, we must, of course, know who the Lord is; that is to say,
· we must know His Names, which characterise His nature
· we must know the history of His faithfulness throughout the history of His chosen people
· we must know Him through a personal calling
· we must know Him in Jesus Christ
· and also in the Holy Spirit This knowledge – or rather, this process of coming to know – requires time and personal growth.
From Jesus’s perspective, therefore, the building of the throne is, first and foremost,
· a mystery, because we enter into communion with God in a supernatural way whilst seeking His kingdom.
· Furthermore, we are given help to walk this path, where we put this knowledge into practice; where His reign will be visible within us and around us, and where we receive guidance grounded in love (Eph 3:17–19)
· Without love, we cannot reflect, nor can we build a throne in such a way that it is visible to all people (Mt enhozzam, Mt commission) So let’s start the second part in this way niw: with him, with his names. {coming soon..}

Our reflection - our workout with Gd

The next deep teaching comes from ap Paul who indeed understood the significance of the death — life dynamic. Read it carefully: this is not just God's work. This is not just your work.

Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
Philippians 2:12-13

Our path in the glorious kingdom

I repeat this now:
Let us go over once more what Jesus teaches when he pray:
‘Your kingdom come,
on earth as it is in heaven.’ His Own Kingdom. If this is true in heaven, then it is true on earth as well. If Jesus prays this, then this is His plan. If this is His plan, then He will bring it to pass here on earth as well. He brings it to pass through us.

Who are we building that throne for?

When preparations for building the throne are underway, they are carried out in accordance with the client’s requirements... coming soon...
