Inheriting the Kingdom

Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, moral impurity, promiscuity, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and anything similar, about which I tell you in advance—as I told you before—that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
(Galatians 5:19-21 Holman Christian Standard Bible ©®)

I will let him who wins the victory sit with me on my throne, just as I myself also won the victory and sat down with my Father on his throne.
(Revelation 3:21 Complete Jewish Bible)

These two Scriptures are speaking of the same thing. Overcoming the power of our flesh to rule our lives by surrendering to the power of the Spirit of Jesus to rule our lives is walking in His Dominion – He dominates our actions. Entering His Kingdom now will be rewarded with the blessing of inheriting His Kingdom when our flesh is gone. This is not “going to Heaven.” It is reigning with Him. It is not a benefit of being born of Him, like going to Heaven is. It is a benefit of taking responsibility now being rewarded with authority next:

“At his return, having received the authority to be king, he summoned those slaves he had given the money to so he could find out how much they had made in business. The first came forward and said, ‘Master, your mina has earned 10 more minas.’
“‘Well done, good slave!’ he told him. ‘Because you have been faithful in a very small matter, have authority over 10 towns.’
