Many people don’t accept God as their King
They have abandoned the Lord; they have despised the Holy One of Israel; they have turned their backs on Him. (Isaiah 1:4)
God is the Creator of all humans and their rightful King. However, we often don’t acknowledge God’s authority over our lives. Since Adam and Eve first rebelled against Him, all of humanity naturally lives in rebellion against the Lord. Isaiah accuses his own people that they have turned their backs on God, but the same goes for all other nations.
Adam and Eve did not want to obey God but be like God themselves. However, this decision did not give them the autonomy they longed for. Instead, they became slaves of Satan, who had tempted them into sin — and all their descendants with them. By nature, all humans are trapped in the domain of darkness by
following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience” (Ephesians 2:2)
However, even though humanity has turned its back on God, He has not abandoned us. He offers us a way back to Him and His Kingdom of light, peace, and joy if we put our trust in Jesus as our Savior and King. Then we are set free from Satan’s power and gladly submit ourselves to the Lord God.
Under whose dominion do you live — God’s or Satan’s?

Jesus invites people into the kingdom of God. This is not an actual physical place. It transcends time and space, which makes it difficult to see what God’s Kingdom exactly is. Let’s read a collection of Bible passages to learn what God’s Kingdom is and how you can inherit it.
