[Publisher Comments: Jesus declared that the Gospel of the Kingdom was to be preached into all the earth then shall the

end come (Mt 16:14). This commission begins with the fact that Gospel of Jesus Christ (Mk 1:1) is Kingdom’s Gospel. It

is building the Kingdom of God in the Church. Paul the Apostle makes it clear in Col 4:11 that he considers himself as a

master builder of the Church and a laborer in the Kingdom of God. The entrance into the Kingdom is by the new birth

(1Tess 2:12; Gal 1:13; Heb 12:28). The Church and the Kingdom is not identical! The Kingdom of God is an everlasting

kingdom. It is from eternity to eternity. It is a total rule and Reign of God (Ps 145:10,13; Ex 15:18; Ps 102; 19). There is

the rule of God in His Kingdom in heaven and a present demonstration of His reign and rule in the earth through the

Church. While the church is an earthly visible expression of the Kingdom of God in the earth, the Kingdom of God is

much greater than the Church. Again, the point stands clear that the Church is a mystery form of the Kingdom. But,

presently the Kingdom of God is expressed and revealed in Church]

[The relation between the Church and the Kingdom of God in the light of the “great tradition”; the study explores the

biblical, patristic, scholastic, dogmatic, and magisterial record; it has implications not only for theology and exegesis, but

also for ecumenical dialogue and for understanding the Church’s evangelical mission in a pluralistic world]

[The Church and the Kingdom are deeply united within the mystery of Christ (Lumen Gentium 3). There exists no

unbridgeable chasm between the Church and the Kingdom of God, but a unity-in-distinction]
