a snapshot of the kingdom of god today and in the ages to come.
The Kingdom of God entered this present evil age in the Person of Jesus Christ. He embodied the Kingdom, preaching it and demonstrating it by healing, and delivering people from the power of Satan. He called people into His Kingdom. By accepting His Kingship and work of redemption, we are born again and enter the Kingdom of God. To enter the Kingdom is to experience its overcoming life, facing all of this world’s trials tribulations and opportunities with His grace, Jn. 16:33; Acts 14:22. In this age we are the presence of the Kingdom of God in the earth. Our lives influence society as we reflect Christ’s life to a dark world. We look to the day when there will be new heavens, and new earth wherein dwells righteousness, 2Pet. 3:13.
Currently, the future has entered the present, and we now experience Kingdom blessings and powers of the ages to come but in measure. Our future inheritance, guaranteed to us by Holy Spirit of promise, is the down payment of this inheritance, and is God’s assurance of a grand inheritance reserved for us in Heaven, Eph. 1:13-14; Eph. 2:7.
When Jesus returns at the resurrection, the Kingdom will come in its fullness. We are destined to reign with Jesus in His Kingdom and the whole earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Glory of God like the waters cover the seas, Hab.2:14. Then every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father, Phil.2:10-11. There will be the end of war, suffering, death, and tears. We will be changed into His likeness. Creation will be delivered from its bondage. Jesus will be all in all.
For now, we can continue entering and experiencing the Kingdom of God and willingly accept our Lord Jesus’ reign in our lives. We will continue to receive its blessings, embody its presence, proclaim it to all, and demonstrate its love and life to our brethren and to the lost.
