To live a Kingdom life, we need to be plugged with God continuously. We cannot be on and off when it comes to taking time with Jesus. That is not the way...
If one is going to say that there are not really bothered about Kingdom life but would just be related to Jesus on a shallow level, then they need to look at the Matthew 21:43 more closely.
Matthew 21:43 (New International Version)
43"Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.
If we are not going to produce fruit in the Kingdom by the way we live, our faith, action, functioning our role in the Kingdom and living our talk, then we will be counted as outcasts. We cannot expect to enter the Kingdom of God for all eternity... So it is rather vital that we be fruitful in Christ. For this we need to continually abide in the Lord...
John 15:5,6 (NIV)
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.6If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.
When we remain in the Lord then He will make us more like Him and will make us a blessing to others. And this is how the Kingdom of God is established here on earth...
