The kingdom of God is a kingdom of love.

 

The commandments of the kingdom of God are:

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul,

with all your mind, and with all your strength”

and “Love your neighbor as yourself”

(Mark 12:30-31).

Those who believe in Jesus Christ by God's grace

and possess "eternal life" (Romans 6:23) as a gift of grace (1 John 3:14)

must devote their heart, life, will, and strength

according to Jesus' twofold commandment.

We obey the commandment to love the Lord God

with all our hearts and to love our neighbors as ourselves.

Therefore, he purifies his soul to love his brother unfeignedly

(1 Peter 1:22).

This is how we practice righteousness, just as Jesus practiced righteousness

(1 John 2:6).

Therefore, the life of “seeking first the kingdom of God and his righteousness”

(Matthew 6:33) means that we, as citizens of God’s kingdom of love,

love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength as Jesus did.

Just as Jesus loved his neighbors as himself,

we also follow Jesus' example and live in obedience to Jesus' twofold commandment.

 

 

 

The kingdom of God will always be peaceful.

 

The kingdom of God, ruled and governed by the Almighty God

who is the King of Peace, will always be peaceful.

The zeal of the Almighty God will accomplish this!

(Ref.: Isaiah 9:6-7).
