What Is God's Kingdom?

God's kingdom is the will of God in power and glory. God's kingdom works through the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17). The kingdom works to exalt Jesus our risen Lord (1 Corinthians 12:3). He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Revelation 19:16).

God's kingdom is the power of our Lord Jesus Christ. He said, All power is given unto me in heaven and on earth  (Matthew 28:18). He came into this present evil world to defeat sin, Satan, and death, through the cross and the resurrection. The power of evil was broken, yet the victory has not come in all of its fullness. The warfare rages, as the kingdom of light attacks the kingdom of darkness. However, the complete defeat of evil will only come at the return of Christ in kingdom power and great glory (Luke 21:27; 1 Corinthians 15:24-28).

God's kingdom brings our salvation, by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (John 3:5-8; 1 John 5:1). Only through the power of our Lord Jesus can we break free from the control of the evil one (1 John 5:18-20). God's kingdom comes to us in power through the gospel of Christ (Romans 1:16; 14:17).

God's kingdom shall come in great power and glory revealed at the second coming of Christ. Jesus taught us to pray to our Father in heaven: Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:9-10). God's kingdom power continues to work until that day when Jesus returns. Then, God's kingdom shall come to bring the final and total victory.
