The Kingdom of God is simply the worldwide community of believers throughout history, looking forward to an eternity in which God will make everything new. Revelation 21:23 says, “The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.” When we take part in fulfilling the Great Commission by sharing our faith, we help add to that great future gathering of believers worshipping our God.
