Definition: The Kingdom of God is God’s reign, through God’s people, over God’s place. Although mysterious, God also desires to establish His rule in the human heart; the people of God give total allegiance to His kingdom alone. Believers look forward to the fulfillment of God's eternal Kingdom in the age to come.

Scriptures: Daniel 2:44; Isaiah 2:4; Romans 13:1-7

Study: In the beginning, God established the Garden of Eden as an outpost of His Kingdom on the Earth and created man as a ruler on His behalf. Christ Jesus re-established this Kingdom in the world through His church. We now seek to advance and expand the interests of this kingdom into every facet of our lives. The Kingdom of God is a corporate Kingdom, made up of every tribe, nation, and tongue. We are citizens first and foremost of this multiethnic and multinational kingdom, giving it our allegiance over and against loyalty to our own people, government, and ideals.
