The Kingdom of God ... "The Earth is the Lord's & everything in it.. " (Psalm 24 1-2)
The Kingdom of God is God's presence, rule & reign - in heaven, on earth & in our lives (Matthew 6:33, Luke 17:20)
Christ in the Cross defeated death & hell - the powers of darkness. (Colossians 2 6-15) - but we are taught to pray in The Lord's Prayer ~ "deliver us from evil" (Matthew 6 5-14) - because for now the devil, a fallen angel, remains. (Isaiah 14:12, Revelation 20)
Jesus prays to the Father for us - "protect them from the evil one" (John 17)
We were born into sin - an imperfect, fallen world & as Disciples we need to "throw off sin that entangles" (Hebrews 12 1-3, Psalm 119:101) & not "give the devil a foothold" (Ephesians 4 26-27)
We must pray "Your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.."
Conflicts in this world cause distress, war, discord. Jesus, the Prince of Peace, who paid the price, (Isaiah 9:6) & takes our punishment (Isaiah 53:5) says -
"Take heart, I have overcome the world" John 16:33.
Troubles & idols distract (Acts 7:10, 1John 5:21) Christ's sacrifice (Hebrews 10) provides Redemption ~
"The world & it's desires pass away but whoever does the will of God lives forever" (1John 2 17)
We must worship in Spirit & truth. (John 4:23) The Kingdom of God is Righteousness & Peace... (Romans 14:17) Hebrews 12:14. Matthew 13 14-16.
