God's kingdom is present today and will be established in full when Christ returns. All who have trusted in Christ are part of His church, living under God's rule as King today while waiting for Christ's return to establish the kingdom in full. As such, the church's mission is to proclaim salvation through Christ to the world so that others might be part of the coming kingdom as well. Because we have come to know God as our good and perfect King, we live joyfully and obediently under His reign, proclaiming Christ to the world so that others might enter into the kingdom.
