What is God’s kingdom?
The kingdom of God is an eternal, spiritual kingdom.
"For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but
righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost." - Romans 14:17 KJV
"And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the
kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God
cometh not with observation: neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there!
for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." - Luke 17:20-21 KJV
Jesus told Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews, how to enter the
kingdom of God.
"Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God." - John 3:5 KJV
Jesus gave Peter the keys to the kingdom.
"And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of
heaven..." - Matthew 16:19 KJV
On the Day of Pentecost, Peter preached what these keys to
the kingdom are, born of water and of the Spirit.
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." - Acts 2:38 KJV
Those that are part of God’s kingdom do not fight physical
battles.
"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after
the flesh: (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through
God to the pulling down of strong holds;)" - 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 KJV
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of
this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." - Ephesians 6:12
KJV
The armour of God is the truth, the righteousness of the
Holy Ghost, the gospel, faith, salvation, and the word of God. Praying always
in the Spirit, staying alert and persistent in praying for believers
everywhere. (Ephesians 6:10-18, Romans 2:8, Galatians 2:5, 14, 3:1, 5:7, Romans
14:17, Ephesians 4:24, Acts 2:38, Jude 1:20).
