THE KINGDOM OF GOD COMING WITH POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the outpouring of the Holy Spirit was unquestionably a coming of that kingdom which the apostle Paul afterwards defined as "Righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost" (# Ro 14:17). We recall, moreover, in regard to the phrase "With power," that our Lord, in speaking to his disciples concerning the then approaching advent of the Holy Ghost, had said, "Ye shall receive power" (# Ac 1:8). Power was needed and was promised for the effective preaching of that gospel whereby those who believe it are translated into the kingdom of God’s dear Son" (# Col 1:12, 13); that gospel which is "the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth"  Ro 1:16).
