Life is all about perception. How you see things.
2Co 4:18 TPT because we don’t focus our attention on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but the unseen realm is eternal.
What is the “unseen realm”? and how can you see it?
The “unseen realm” is the kingdom of God and the principles that He created within it, which are eternal.
The “seen realm” is how “mere men” have not had their minds renewed because of unrepentance (Unwilling to change their minds. See 1Co 3:1-4) and see things as temporary, meaning subject to change. You can say, that if you are unrepentant you can only eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and you will only see into the “seen realm”, but if you repent, then you have access to the tree of life to eat from, and you enter in and can go deeper into the realm of the kingdom, where it is everlasting and there is no death (See 2Co 4:18 AMPC).
In order to see the “unseen realm” or the kingdom, and see things as God sees them, you must be “born again” (Joh 3:3).
If you have been “born again” it does not mean that you have been saved from a so-called hell and now your destination is heaven when you die. It is where you have repented and the kingdom which has always been within you (Luk 17:21) comes to life since He has chosen you in Christ before the foundation of the world (Eph 1:3-6), even though you didn’t realize it at the time!
Being “born again”, you are no longer a “mere human”; you are a new creation in Christ (2Co 5:17). Now you have the ability to change the temporary from the inside out for the better with the eternal kingdom principles as God reveals them to you as you eat from the tree of life (Rom 10:17). How do you do change your world? With your Words! You believe in your heart and confess with your mouth what God has revealed to you (Mk 11:22-23).
That is the good news!
Plus you expound on this? “ If you have been “born again” it does not mean that you have been saved from a so-called hell and now your destination is heaven when you die.”
Amen! Religion teaches us we have to be “born again” to go to heaven. However, Jesus never said that. It is the entrance to the kingdom now! Anyone who tries to enter any other way is a thief and a robber (John 10:1). It is the thief (religion) who comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came so we may have life (Kingdom life now), and have it more abundantly (John 10:10). Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Mt 6:10)! It is experienced through you and me!
