The Kingdom of God is a vast topic. To understand it, we should listen carefully to the descriptions contained in the Bible verses.

Reader, take some time, read these verses, and reflect. There is much to ponder, because this present life is short and difficult, while the future is beautiful and infinite.

We are fighting for something more than just surviving a few decades. In truth, this present life is a test, a trial for us. So it’s worth winning it and reaching for the prize.

Therefore, Reader, take time and don’t chase trivialities, but fight for the most important thing: your life.

You have a choice: you can laugh it off, ignore it, or start repairing your life.

The choice is yours.

I invite you. There are so many verses, it’s difficult to discuss them in detail. Therefore, I leave the reflections to each of us…

New Testament – Life in the Kingdom of God

1) Who will attain the Kingdom:

„Blessed (happy) are the poor/self-controlled/humble in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Blessed are those who mourn (endure pain, yearn, mourn), for they will be comforted (calmed, soothed).

Blessed are the meek (gentle, humble, quiet), for they will inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice (righteousness, holiness), for they will be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful (compassionate, forgiving), for they will obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart (sincere, blameless), for they will see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers (establishing harmony, soothing „Blessed are those who are persecuted (oppressed, attacked) for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven” – Matthew 5:3–10.

God and His Kingdom come first – material needs become an “add-on”:

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness (righteousness, honesty), and all these things will be added unto you” – Matthew 6:33.

Faith in the Good News:

„The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent (be converted, change your mind) and believe the Gospel” – Mark 1:15.

There will be many problems along the way:

“Through many tribulations (labors, pressures) we must enter into the Kingdom of God” – Acts 14:22.

The Kingdom is a transformed heart, not an external ritual:

“The Kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness (righteousness, holiness), peace (concord, harmony), and joy (gladness, contentment) in the Holy Spirit” – Romans 14:17.

The lifestyle we choose should guarantee our calling to the Kingdom:

“…that you may walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into His Kingdom and Glory” – 1 Thessalonians 2:12.

2) Believe in the Kingdom and get to work:

“Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world” – Matthew 25:34.

“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a householder who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard” – Matthew 20:1.

The farmer was looking for workers to employ. He paid everyone the same, equally. He didn’t care who worked how many hours. The workers had to demonstrate a willingness to work and actually put in the work. It’s the same with us. We must believe in the future Kingdom of God and get to work.

3) We should pray for the Kingdom:

“Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” – Matthew 6:10.

4) We are to become like children:

“Unless one is born again (from above, of the Spirit), he cannot see or enter the Kingdom of God” – John 3:3–5.

“Unless you are converted and become like children (simple, trusting, uncomplicated), you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven” – Matthew 18:3.

“Let the children come to Me, and do not forbid them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these” – Matthew 19:14.

We are born and raised for years in various religions, in atheism. To know and understand Biblical truth, a certain amount of work must be done. We are to become like children; to discard old religious knowledge, and(like children) question everything and learn anew.

5) Co-ruling with Christ in the Kingdom:

„Truly I say to you, you who have followed Me will sit on twelve thrones in the regeneration when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands for My name’s sake will receive a hundred times as much and inherit eternal life.” – Matthew 19:28–29

“I confer upon you a Kingdom, just as My Father conferred upon Me, that you may eat and drink at My table in My Kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” – Luke 22:29–30.

“You have made them a Kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.” – Revelation 5:10.

„And I saw thrones… and they came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. […] Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him a thousand years” – Revelation 20:4–6.

6) The Kingdom is an invitation to the nations:

“They will come from east and west, from north and south, and recline at table in the Kingdom of God” – Luke 13:29.

“Many will come from east and west and recline with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven” – Matthew 8:11.

“Blessed (happy, favored) is anyone who eats bread in the Kingdom of God” – Luke 14:15.

“God has chosen the poor of this world, rich in faith, to be heirs of the Kingdom which He promised to those who love Him” – James 2:5.

7) Healing as a sign of the coming of the Kingdom:

“Heal the sick, and say to them, ‘The Kingdom of God has come near to you.’” – Luke 10:9.

In the Kingdom of God, sickness and evil disappear. This heralds the complete renewal of man.

8) The Kingdom is already at work among God’s servants:

“The Kingdom of God does not come with observable signs; they will not say, ‘Look, here, or there,’ for the Kingdom of God is within you (within, among you)” – Luke 17:20–21.

“Fear not, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the Kingdom” – Luke 12:32.

“Therefore, if we receive a Kingdom that cannot be shaken (lasting, unmovable), we may have grace to serve God with humility and piety in a way that is acceptable to Him” – Hebrews 12:28.

“To Him who loves us and washed us from our sins in His blood and made us a Kingdom and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever” – Revelation 1:5–6.

9) The Kingdom of God is not of this world:

“My Kingdom is not of this world: if it were, My servants would fight: but now My Kingdom is not from hence” – John 18:36.

10) Who will not inherit the Kingdom

“The unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God…” – 1 Corinthians 6:9–10.

“Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, nor corruption incorruption.” – 1 Corinthians 15:50.

“No sexually immoral, impure, or greedy person—that is, an idolater/worshipper of images—has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.” – Ephesians 5:5

The Kingdom is spiritual wealth, not a bank balance:

“God chose the poor of this world, rich in faith, to be heirs of the Kingdom which He promised to those who love Him” – James 2:5.

11) How we will live in the Kingdom:

“They will hunger no more, nor thirst any more; the sun nor heat will strike them; for the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” – Revelation 7:16–17.

“Behold, the tabernacle of God is with mankind; and He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God. And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore, for the former things have passed away.” – Revelation 21:3–4.

12) The Kingdom of God over the whole world:

“The Kingdoms of the world have become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever.” – Revelation 11:15

„Great and wonderful are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, King of the nations. Who will not fear You, Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy; all nations will come and worship You, for Your righteous judgments have been made known.” – Revelation 15:3–4

„Hallelujah! For the Lord our God Almighty has begun to reign. Let us rejoice and exult and give Him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready. […] Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb” – Revelation 19:6–9.

“The nations will walk in His light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory to Him. … And they will bring to Him the glory and honor of the nations.” – Revelation 21:24–27.

“And he showed me the river of water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. […] The leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. […] And they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. […] And they will reign forever and ever” – Revelation 22:1–5.

What is the Kingdom of God?

This is a wonderful place in heaven and on earth, prepared by God for His servants, for God’s people.

It is a beautiful reward for the present hardships of life in this world. These verses motivate us to act, to endure, because there is truly something to fight for: a life without disease, without stress, without death, in a joyful, beautiful climate – this is the dream of each of us.

We look at the present world and wonder: why does God allow this? Readers, pay attention to a fundamental fact: God did not make decisions for our ancestors. Their decisions brought about the creation of the world we have today. One need only analyze the PLANdemic to understand what man is capable of.

The conclusion is simple: Christ’s rule over all the earth, which guarantees justice in heaven and on earth, must return. Only then will wars, disease, death, and scoundrels disappear.

And this is what we fight for…

„’Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ Yeshu answered him, 'What is written in the Law? How do you read it?’ He said, ’You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.’ Yeshu said to him, 'You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.'” – Luke 10:25-28.
