Abstract:
The Synoptic Gospels talk a lot about the concept of the Kingdom of God in relation to Jesus' teachings about the Kingdom of God, while Paul and other letter writers also teach a lot of it as an important doctrine for the church to know. Jesus not only taught the Kingdom, but Jesus also demonstrated the presence of the kingdom through His ministry. However, even though the Kingdom of God has come and entered the present dimension, the Kingdom of God has been working in secret until the time when the kingdom will appear in its perfection where believers will experience the fullness of the blessings of the Kingdom. The concept of the Kingdom of God is not a mere theoretical concept. He is truly present in the midst of humanity and gives new meaning to every aspect of the lives of believers. The five aspects discussed in this paper (salvation, a victorious life, prayer, ethics and the Church), represent only the broad aspects of the reach of the Kingdom of God. The method in this study uses qualitative methods in the form of descriptive analysis.
