This Is The Kingdom Of Heaven

Here is the culmination of how we are supposed to live in this world, and it is no mystery. The world is in a constant state of turmoil. Not because God doesn't exist or do something about it, but because humans refuse to adhere to the very law that they purport to uphold.
The law of the universe is love: long-lasting, peace giving, merciful love. We have read the Bible and interpreted it in our own fashion and in our own likeness. And we use those interpretations to beat down and oppress our neighbors. Yet, the law remains the same. True love is the only way to live on this planet. Every other form of behaving is an abomination and contrary to the law.
Now that you know that your own interpretation of the Bible and the law have only led to mayhem, destruction, and abuse, perhaps your eyes are opened and your heart softened. You are completely INCAPABLE of loving in the way that the law dictates. The more you try, the harder you fail. It can not be done. Read the scriptures and se that no man has ever succeeded, not even Jesus. Perhaps I have piqued your interes or your intrigue.
Jesus was very clear when He said, “I can of my own self do nothing…” (John 5:30). Jeus did what needed to be done because of one thing alone, He placed all of His trust in His Father, and His Father led Him. This… this is the way that Jesus has shown the example that He has set and the ideal that He has given. If you try to do anything good outside of the power and Spirit of God, you have failed, and your “...righteousness [is] as filthy rags…” (Isaiah 64:6).
So, trying to keep the law is simply futile. It is easy to see how futile it is due to the sheer amount of suffering in the world. Rich and poor are suffering and mourning, and your perceived righteousness is only worsening the situation. So, instead of trying to be righteous, seek a better world by asking God to teach you to love and have compassion. Ask God to show you what it means to love your neighbor and love yourself. And do all of that with an open and honest heart. At least as open and honest as you can muster.
Then, also, seek God. It will take you beseeching God to help change the world anyway. But know that God is indeed a part of our community! God's love can mold us, the Spirit can lead and empower us, and through Jesus, we can reshape the world. But without God, you will only succeed in destroying the world and yourselves in the process.
Do this and live. Do this and see what the Bible means by: “Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy reward” (Isaiah 58:8). It is not a complicated scenario, but it does take one thing, learning to acknowledge that no matter how hard you try, you just simply can not do it alone. You must seek God, who is the epitome of love and kindness, mercy, and patience.
This is the community that we are building here in KingDOM Communauté. A people who recognize that the world is suffering but something can and should be done. But in order to become a “...restorer of paths to dwell in,” (Isaiah 58:12), we can not omit Jehovah. God and God's love is the centerpiece of the whole thing. Jesus is the foundation upon which all of this community of love and peace can and will be built. You do not need to join the Discord server to become a member of the community. Joining the community is free. Just simply ask God to help you see the world as God sees it and watch the magic happen. Joining the Discord simply allows you to share your thoughts on these videos and become a live audience member, plus other future perks. But the Kingdom of Heaven will ALWAYS be free and open to those who desire to know God's peace.
