Christ calls His kingdom the Kingdom of Heaven, where He does not rule in a temporal way nor deals with the things of this life; but He founded and developed an eternal, imperishable kingdom, which begins on earth through faith, and in which we receive and possess eternal riches, forgiveness of sins, comfort, strength, renewal of the Holy Spirit, victory and triumph over the power of satan, death and hell, and finally eternal life of body and soul, that is, eternal fellowship and blessedness with God. (Church Postils, Trinity 20)
