I wanted to start a thread that deals with the definition of biblical terms; words or phrases used in the Bible.
I believe this is a much needed study so when we are discussing biblical doctrine we all understand the word and terms that the Bible authors are using, which may have a different meaning in the culture and time they were living, as well as the language they were speaking.
I believe it’s important to allow the context as well help us to define these often misunderstood terms used in the scripture.
It would be His disciples, who would be be sent as Apotles, and be responsible for establishing Church doctrine forever. Culture does not change the truth of Church doctrine.
As Jesus said - teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you;
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
Matthew 28:18-20
The first one is: Inherit the kingdom of God
Jesus used this phrase when teaching His disciples in His Olivet Discourse.
It refers to those who have their part, in the kingdom of God, on the Day of Judgement.
31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Matthew 25:31-34
Those on His left hand, who do not inherit the kingdom of God, will hear these words.
Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: Mathew 25:41
It’s very easy to understand from this context what inherit the kingdom means and when it takes place.
Paul used this term when writing to the Church. Here is one example.
19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders,drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:19-21
