The Kingdom of God

Every earthly kingdom has a king. The Lord Jesus Christ is the King of the Kingdom of God. Unlike the earthly kingdoms, the Kingdom of God has no boundaries. It is worldwide and extends beyond racial, language and denominational barriers. This Kingdom has no time limits. It is from generation to generation and God's dominion is everlasting.

The characteristic of the people of the Kingdom is humility. They also have a desire to have a right relationship with God. People of all ages are welcome to this kingdom and especially children have an important place here.

If the Lord Jesus Christ is enthroned in your heart, and His Spirit is ruling over your life, you can be assured that you are in the Kingdom of God.
