Thy Kingdom Come

The Message of the Kingdom of God

The Following excerpts from ladd's gospel of the Kingdom will give us a clearer graps of the powerful message we have to proclaim to the nations.


Victory Over Death

The Gospel of the  Kingdom is the announcement of Christ conquest over death. There are two stages in the destruction of death. Its final destruction awaits the second Coming of Christ; but by His death and resurrection Christ has defeated enemy. We are certain of the future victory because of the victory that has already been accomplished. We have an accomplished victory to proclaim.

Victory Over Satan

The enemy of God's Kingdom is Satan. Christ must rule until He has put Satan under His feet. This complete Victory also awaits the Coming of Christ. But we have Discovered that Christ has already defeated Satan. Christ took on flesh and blood that through death He might destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of Death were subject to bondage   " Since the Children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him  who holds the power of death- that is, the devil 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death"  (Heb. 2:14-15 KJV)

Satan is defeated enemy. His power, his domination has been broken. His doom is sure. The decisive victory has been won. Christ cast out demons, delivering men from satanic bondage, proving that God's Kingdom delivers men from their enslavement to Satan. It brings them out of darkness into the saving and healing light of the gospel. This is the good news about the Kingdom of God.

Victory Over Sin

sin is also an enemy of God's Kingdom. Christ reign as King has the objective of abolishing every enemy (1Cor 15:24-26). This work is indeed future, but it is also past. What our Lord will finish at His second, He has already begun by  His death and resurrection. "Death" has been abolished (destroyed) (2Ti 1:10) Satan has been destroyed (Heb 2:14) and in Romans  6:6 the  body of sin has been abolished (destroyed). 

The gospel  of the Kingdom is the good news that Christ is coming again to destroy forever His enemies, sin, death and satan. This is the gospel that we must take into all world
