Aspects of the Kingdom of God

JCOP 19-20 Aspects of the Kingdom of God

The kingdom of God is a vital focus of New Testament revelation. It serves as a basic substructure to much of biblical teaching in the NT no less than in the Old.  Its importance is not only apparent by the frequent explicit references made to it, but by the implicit and assumptive use of the concept in much of what the NT teaches.  For this reason, a proper appreciation and under-standing of the kingdom of God are essential for a valid understanding of the NT itself.
