Luke 12.32 'Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.
The kingdom of God is a rich theological concept. Jesus proclaimed that heaven's kingdom had come in his ministry. The royal rule of God, his dominion, had begun to spread when Jesus was on earth, but it will not be fully established until Jesus returns. Christians experience some of the kingdom now on earth, but not all of it yet.
