Abstract

The concept of “Kingdom†is well-known on the pages of the Bible, especially in the New Testament. God, the Father, and the Son, Jesus, are called and behave as kings of the Universe. Jesus Christ was very interested in speaking about the kingdom and in explaining its concepts to his listeners. Due to their beliefs, according to the concept of kingdom, many times, Christians relate differently to the values vindicated by the majority of people in the society. Their faith guides the believers when speaking about loving, appreciating, approving, or disapproving things and events around them. In this article, the author presents both, what the Bible teaches about the concept of Kingdom and some direct and indirect consequences of the biblical concept in the life of the believers. The biblical concept about the Kingdom influences believers both in terms of personal and community. When it comes to interacting with others, believers' beliefs may conflict with those who struggle with worldly principles.
