Om die koninkryk van God in te gaan is n daaglikse ‘effort' om te lewe soos wat God en Jesus voorskryf in die Bybel. Dit is nie maklik om in gehoorsaamheid te lewe, soos in die Bybel voorgeskryf, in hierdie Satan-beheerde wereld nie. Moenbie mislei word en rustig sit en dink jy is reeds in die hemel nie. Ons is nog op aarde en dit is nie maklik nie en n Christen se lewe is nie n maklike lewe nie.
