El Reino de Dios no tiene doble nacionalidad.

Mucha gente se siente atraída por el estado., poder, y disposiciones de otro país y deciden abandonar su país. Se van a un país que les da lo que anhelan. Pero aunque dejen su casa y su patria, many don’t renounce their culture, hábitos, religión, and the laws they grew up with and don’t want to give up their nationality and passport. Y entonces, many people live with dual nationality (citizenship) and have two passports, which they use to access both countries. Many Christians think that the Kingdom of God also works that way. They desire the provisions of the Kingdom of God but want to live like the world. But the Kingdom of God has no dual nationality.

Can Christians live in the Kingdom of God with a dual nationality?

Many Christians desire the provisions of God’s Kingdom and live in the Kingdom without renouncing their nationality by birth aka their old life as the old creation.

They think that through a confession of faith and bautismo, they can enter the Kingdom of God and be saved and then live in the Kingdom with dual nationality and use two passports. But the Kingdom of God has no dual nationality.

In the Kingdom of God, you can’t have dual citizenship and retain two passports to live in the Kingdom of God and the darkness (el mundo).

There are laws in the Kingdom of God, which are written in the Bible and through the abiding of the Holy Spirit are written on the heart of the new creation, which apply to all Kingdom citizens.

These laws apply to everyone, who has repented and is born again in Christ (baptism in water and the receiving of the Holy Spirit) y es transferido de las tinieblas al Reino de Jesucristo.

A Christian can’t be a citizen of the Kingdom of God and a citizen of the kingdom of darkness. 

Every kingdom has its own king, gobierno, y la ley. You belong to the kingdom and the king, to whom you yield yourself, whose government you obey, and whose laws (mandamientos) you keep.

Can you live in the Kingdom of God and walk in darkness?

Y todavía, hay muchos cristianos, who retain dual citizenship and use both passports for the spirit and the flesh and live in two kingdoms.

They use the spiritual passport for the promises and provisions of God and to be saved from hell, because they don’t want to go to hell but to heaven.

They use the carnal passport to return to their old lives (y hábitos) and live like the world and keep doing the works of the flesh (pecado). If they give up this passport, they don’t have access to the darkness and they can’t do all those things their heart and flesh longs for and which the world has to offer.

And so they claim the promises of God for the new creation while living after the flesh as the old creation (en pecado).

Through this kind of faith and behavior the gospel has been humanized and many churches, which are supposed to represent Jesus Christ and His Kingdom and law, are defiled by sin and have become powerless and made a mockery. They have rejected the truth of God’s Word and live in a lie. (Leer también: ¿Es la iglesia una institución social o un poder de Dios??).

The passport for the old creation and the passport for the new creation

Y por esto sí sabemos que lo conocemos a Él, si guardamos Sus mandamientos. El que dice, Yo lo conozco, and keepeth not His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in Him (1 John 2:4)

El Reino de Dios no tiene doble nacionalidad. (citizenship). In the Kingdom of God, you can’t hold dual nationality and keep two passports. You can’t have a passport for the new creation and hold on to the passport for the old creation.

You can’t live like the world in darkness in the Kingdom of God. It is either the spirit or the flesh.

It is either living after the voluntad de Dios y su palabra, which reigns by the Holy Spirit in the spirit, or the voluntad del diablo, que reina en la carne.

But you can’t obey, serve, and please both, since the flesh rebels against the Spirit.

El Ley del pecado y de la muerte, que reina en la carne, won’t submit to God, Su palabra, and His law of the Spirit of life.

Por lo tanto, aquellos, who are in the flesh and walk after the flesh and do las obras de la carne, no puedo agradar a Dios.

Como una cuestión de hecho, the Bible says that everyone, who keeps doing the works of the flesh and walks in sin has not seen God, has not known Him, has not been born of God, no le pertenece, and has no part in Him (Oh. 1 John 1:5-7; 3:4-10; 5:18, Hebreos 10:26-30).

The Spirit and the flesh don’t go together but are contrary to each other

Esto lo digo entonces, Caminar en el Espíritu, y no satisfagáis los deseos de la carne. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, y el espíritu contra la carne: y estos son contrarios el uno al otro: para que no podáis hacer las cosas que queréis. Pero si sois guiados por el Espíritu, vosotros no estáis bajo la ley. Ahora las obras de la carne son manifiestas., cuales son estos; Adulterio, fornicación, impureza, lascivia, idolatría, brujería, odio, diferencia, emulaciones, ira, lucha, sediciones, herejías, envidias, asesinatos, embriaguez, juergas (carousings), y cosas como: de las que te cuento antes, como también te he dicho en otro tiempo, que los que hacen tales cosas no heredarán el Reino de Dios (Gálatas 5:16-21)

If you are justified by the blood of Jesus Christ, and born of God, and entered the Kingdom of God through baptism (the death and resurrection in Christ) y la morada del Espíritu Santo, then you shall do the will of the Spirit and bear the fruit of the Spirit instead of doing the will of the flesh and keep doing the works of the flesh.

Your works testify to whom you belong and whom you obey and in whose kingdom you live; Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God or the devil and his kingdom of darkness (el mundo).
