Section 5 | The Kingdom of Heaven on Earth
If a person truly completes the renewal of their identity, they will live in a state of continuous success—not a stack of external achievements, but a solidified internal state. They will find themselves "nearly omnipotent," because in their life, "there is nothing they cannot do."
Then, if everyone in a society lived according to the way God designed them, what kind of scene would this world present?
First, such a world would no longer need competition, nor would it need comparison. Because everyone finds themselves and their value within their own role, there is no longer a need to fight for positions collectively deemed as "good" by society. When there is no unified "ranking of good and bad," competition naturally disappears.
Of course, various roles still exist, but they no longer carry a sense of hierarchy. The Emperor does not feel superior to the Beggar; the Minister submits to the Emperor in role, but is completely equal in personality and value.
Just like the human body: the brain can direct the hands and feet, yet it does not consider the hands and feet to be "lower" than the brain. There is no high or low between different functions, only a division of labor.
Some might ask: without an artificially set order, how can this play be performed well?
In fact, God’s calling itself contains diversity; it naturally covers the role structure required for the operation of society.
Just like that world-famous play—the roles have already been perfectly arranged. As long as we submit, we can present the best script and the best performance.
When everyone settles into their own place, three fundamental changes occur in the world:
1. Without Competition, There is No Scarcity
Competition comes from fear—fear of not having enough, fear of loss, fear of being replaced, and fear of being worthless.
When a person stands in the position prepared for them by God, fear loses its root, and accumulation loses its meaning.
Accumulation comes from scarcity, and scarcity comes from fear.
When fear disappears, scarcity disappears.
2. Productivity Will Greatly Increase
Because everyone does what they are best at and what they love most.
When a person's role is perfectly consistent with their nature, their creative ability will naturally mobilize God’s power, rather than relying on strain and struggle.
True abundance is never "strived for"; it is "aligned for."
3. Production Relations Return to Equality and Natural Order
Human-made classes no longer exist; order comes from "nature" rather than institutional design.
Without accumulation, there is no scarcity;
Without differentiation, there is no hierarchy.
Society will naturally move toward an effortless abundance, self-consistent, harmonious, and full, like a forest.
Many people may feel that such a world is too idealized.
But in fact, this is the way the world was originally meant to be—it is only the human ego-consciousness that has distorted the order.
The Tao Te Ching says: "Man follows Earth, Earth follows Heaven, Heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows Nature." Nature itself is originally like this:
A Story from Childhood
When we were children, we read the story of "The Fox Assuming the Tiger's Might," and the teacher told us the fox borrowed the tiger's power.
But what truly left an impression on me was a childhood misunderstanding—I once thought the tiger in the forest was like a "King" in human society: superior, feared by all, and living in luxury.
Later, I saw those emaciated tigers in the Siberian Tiger Park and thought they were being mistreated.
The keeper told me: Life for tigers in the actual forest is much harder than in the park.
Insufficient prey, the pressure of raising young, the constant possibility of starvation... meanwhile, the herbivores around them actually lived more stable lives.
When I watched lions in Africa, I also found that being at the top of the food chain does not mean life is easier; they often suffer from hunger.
In the real natural world: The lion is not happier than the gazelle, and the wolf is not superior to the sheep. There is no "King" in nature, only division of labor and cycles.
Just like the four seasons—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter each have their place, with no superiority or inferiority.
All of this reminds us:
What truly introduced "good" and "bad," and what truly broke the balance, is human ego-consciousness after the knowledge of good and evil.
After eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, humans began to use "evaluation" to replace "calling" and "comparison" to replace "mission," and thus the world was turned upside down.
Therefore, only one thing needs to be done: Let the Holy Spirit replace the Ego, and let identity renewal replace self-striving.
The world will restore itself to the way it should be.
Because God loves us, unlike the rest of nature, He put His own power into the spirit of man—allowing us not only to return to order but to create the Kingdom of Heaven.
Where is the Kingdom of Heaven? When identity is renewed and everyone is settled in their place, the Kingdom of Heaven is not only in the hearts of men,
But also in the order of society, in the structure of institutions, in the operation of the economy,
And within all relationships and creations.
The Kingdom of Heaven is on earth. It manifests not only as the long-term happiness and joy of the human heart,
But also as a community of order, harmony, abundance, and joy.
