The Kingdom of God is eternal, it is an everlasting kingdom where Jesus rules and reigns as King. It is established in the heart of the believer as he surrenders his all to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. It is the rule of God in the hearts, minds and wills of His people. Through it is a Kingdom ordained before all other kingdoms, though it will remain after all other kingdoms crumble and fall - the Kingdom of God is now at hand!

2. How Do We Receive Kingdom Citizenship?

      1. Must be born again to receive - (John 3:1-5)

3. What Is Our Commission In The Kingdom?

   Matthew 28:18-20 "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; Teaching them to observe whatsoever I have commanded you: and, Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen"

   
   

4. What Characteristics Are Manifested In Kingdom Citizens?

   1. A change in "Character" - (Matthew 5:3-4,6,8, I Peter 1:14-16, Romans 12:2)

   3. We become an "Influence" on the world in which we live - (Matthew 5:13-16)

     The Kingdom is within the believer's heart. This is where God wants to reign, even as He does in heaven (Matthew 6:10). He also desires that we receive the benefits that are ours as Kingdom citizens: righteousness, peace and joy! (Romans 14:17)
