KINGDOM OF HEAVEN | Orthodox Church of the Mother of God

KINGDOM OF HEAVEN – The Kingdom of Heaven is Christ Himself, not a physical place or location. It is within Christ that the Kingdom is to be experienced. For this reason, we cannot think of the Kingdom as something we are either “in” or “out” of. Through baptism and a life of repentance, we participate in the Life of Christ, and thus we participate in the Kingdom. The Kingdom is a dynamic state, wherein we grow in perfection through God’s grace. Our journey is not to the Kingdom, our journey is in the Kingdom.
