Kingdom of Heaven (God)

• What is the Kingdom of God?

51
Kingdom of Heaven (God)Holman Bible Dictionary

• Jesus never said that people are to build the
  kingdom of God. On the contrary, the
  establishment of the kingdom is a work of God.
  God will reign, and people can contribute nothing
  to that reigning of God.
• So the kingdom of God was the rule of God which
  He extended over human lives through the ministry
  of Jesus.

52
Kingdom of HeavenWhy?

• But now He has obtained a more excellent
  ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator
  of a better covenant, which has been enacted on
  better promises. For if that first covenant had
  been faultless, there would have been no occasion
  sought for a second. (Hebrews 86-7)

53
Kingdom of Heaven (God)

• It began slowly, but now has billions of
  followers
• Only some people understand Christianity / Bible
• Most people reject Christianity and cannot
  understand it
• People need to seek out God, accept his truths,
  and follow them (all 3)
