To enter into the mysteries of the kingdom of God is to understand the christian fellowship because the spirit of the Lord is a charism, in this way, the apostle Paul explains this truth in his first epistle to the Thessalonians:
"Just as a nursing mother cares for her children, so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well" 1 Thessalonians 2:7-8.
Paul firmly preached the gospel in the greek city of Thessalonica, and compared that dedication towards the believers with the love (Agape) and the mercy (compassion, kindness, gentleness) of a mother towards her child, this comparison is very important because this love that occurs between mother and child is often love with joy. To understand this, is to understand the mystery of love that is linked to that communion with Christ.
Sharing the word of God and sharing the life, also wrote the apostle Paul, for the gospel we are like children who have to find a spiritual treasure, it is within us and we have to be aware of it, that is the love of Christ, the love projected to the whole creation of God, but to achieve this we need to share not only the word but also share all those acts of daily life that seem insignificant but are of great importance, the Kingdom of Heaven begins with small decisions, gradually and progressively.
The Kingdom of God implies very important things, because the faith means bearing witness to Jesus with the spiritual gifts placed at the service of the community, this is how the christian fellowship grew in its early days, as well as now, so explained Paul: "You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed" 1 Thessalonians 2:10.
