• When Jesus said "the Kingdom of God is within you", he meant:
  
  When you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior (become saved), the Holy Spirit comes to live within you, and it will help you live a life that is pleasing to God.  Being saved will not make you perfect, but your sins will be forgiven.

• Thanks Sara for your explanation. I've always thought Jesus Christ was the model as to how one should be living their life on earth than anything else. Love Jesus.

  Sara,
  
  This is a great place to discuss subjects people always ask of Christians.
  
  One that comes to mind is when people ask, "why do bad things happen to good people?"

  Yes, this is a very debateable topic.  It could be a test, like with Job.  Also, God always has a plan for everything, and sometimes it involves something bad.  Sometimes you have to go through the hard things before everything is okay again.

  Thanks for the reply, Sara.
  
  I agree, it may sound cliché, but everything happens for a reason. It reminds of the scripture that says that rain falls on everyone, the good and the bad (I'm paraphrasing).
  
  But some people see it as "what's the point?"
  
  Getting through tough times is a blessing though, it makes you stronger for the future and can help those around you to see the inner strength and resolve that comes from trusting God.
