    Of Such Is the Kingdom

    About this ebook

    In the gospels, there is a passage of scripture where we see how close to Jesus heart, little children are. For the scripture says that He was “greatly displeased”, when He found out that the disciples were trying to keep the little children from coming to Him. I can imagine that the disciples learnt very quickly not to transgress in this area again. So just why was Jesus so protective over small children? Jesus answers that question Himself, when He plainly tells us that, “of such is the kingdom of God”. Jesus stated that children were of the kingdom of God, because He knew that all children were born of God. This book teaches what the bible says on the subject.

    Michael Maher

    From childhood, Michael E.B. Maher has always known that the Lord's call was upon his life for the ministry. When he was saved at the age of twenty-two, almost immediately the Lord Jesus began to deal with him about entering the ministry. However, it was only many years later that he committed to the Lord to answer the Lord's call to the ministry. And so, in 2014 Michael Maher Ministries was begun. From the beginning, the mandate given to Michael from the Lord Jesus was to preach the word. And so, this ministry preaches the word of God on every available platform around the world.

      God’s creation of man

      Man is a spirit being

      1 Thessalonians 5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

      God created mankind with two parts, i.e. the outward man and the inward man (2 Corinthians 4:16). The outward man is the physical body of man, while the inward man is further made up of the spirit and the soul. In the above quoted passage of scripture the Holy Spirit through the apostle Paul refers to our spirit, our soul and our body. And so we see that essentially mankind is a tri-part being, for as we will see in this teaching, man is a spirit being, he has a soul and he lives in a physical body.

      Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

      Because man is created in the image of God and our Lord Jesus has taught us that God is a Spirit Being (John 4:24), it is therefore clearly evident that man is also a spirit being. However, God also created man with a soul. The spirit of man and the soul of man are not the same, for as revealed to us in the above quoted passage of scripture, the word of God is able to separate the two. Therefore, because they can be separated, the spirit of man and the soul of man are not one and the same. Let it be said however, that it is only God’s word that is able to separate man’s spirit and soul, for God created them to function together as one. Nevertheless, because God is a Spirit and man has been made in God’s image, it is the spirit of man that is the real man. So if the spirit of man is the real man, what role does the soul play in the makeup of man? The answer to that question is that the soul of man is essentially the mind of man.

      2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

      God has decreed that in order for mankind to be able to inhabit this planet our spirits need a physical body to dwell in. In the above quoted passage of scripture the apostle Paul referred to his body as a house. And so we see that our body is not who we are, it is only the house that we reside in. In the same passage, Paul even
