ARTICLE: This World and the Kingdom of God https://thebahnsenbibleacademy.com/theology-articles/ Christ does not settle for a part-time or restricted reign as King. He demands obedience in all things from us, and His aim is to subdue all resistance – of any nature (internal or external) – to His rule. Paul teaches, “he must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet,” concluding with the defeat of death itself at the general resurrection (I Cor. 15:25-26). All opposition in all areas will be overcome by the King. And as it is, it will be an indication that the Messianic kingdom is coming. Christ taught His disciples to pray: “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”(Matt. 6:10). That prayer is a continual reminder to us that the coming of the kingdom means the doing of God’s will, and that the reign of Christ (His kingdom) through our obedience comes precisely here on earth. The kingdom of Christ is undeniably this-worldly in its effects and manifestation. To be sure, Christ’s kingdom does not spring “out of this world” (John 18:36), meaning (as the end of the verse interprets matters for us) that the source of Christ’s reign is not “from here.” Nevertheless, His reign, as originating from God Himself, pertains to this present world. The resurrected, victorious Savior said it Himself: “all authority in heaven and on earth has been granted to Me” (Matt. 28:18). We must admit, therefore, that the kingdom of Christ is not merely internal and other-worldly. It has external expression on earth at the present time. “The kingdom of God and His righteousness” makes provision for every detail of life (Matt. 6:31-33). It is, as Paul taught, “profitable for all things, holding promise for the life that now is, as well as for that which is to come” (I Timothy 4:8). In a famous kingdom-parable, Christ authoritatively explained that the field (the kingdom) is the world Matt. 13:38). In the perspective of Scripture, God’s redeemed kingdom of priests – the church (IPeter 2:9) – presently “reigns upon the earth” (Revelation 5:9). Our confidence, calling, and prospect is encapsuled in the wonderful song, that “the kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever” (Revelation 11:15). The Messianic kingdom must be seen, then, as this-worldly, external, and visible – not merely internal to man’s heart and other-worldly.

WELCOME! You are invited to learn how to defend The Faith from one of the greatest Christian Apologists of all time—Greg L. Bahnsen https://thebahnsenbibleacademy.com/ * Audio excerpt from Greg L. Bahnsen's Series, PRACTICAL APOLOGETICS (1 OF 5) https://thebahnsenbibleacademy.com/practical-apologetics-1-of-5-arbitrariness/ If you are unfamiliar with Dr. Bahnsen and his work, here is a great introduction by Randy Booth, taken from his preface to Bahnsen's book, Always Ready: Directions for Defending The Faith. The Apostle Peter instructs believers that they should be “always ready to give a defense [apologia] to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you” (1 Peter 3:15). Dr. Greg Bahnsen was not only “always ready” to make such a defense, he was always ready to teach others how to prepare themselves for this essential work. It pleased God, in the mystery of His providence, to raise up this doubly-gifted man for the benefit of His people in this generation. That same mysterious Providence that gave us Dr. Bahnsen also called him home at the early age of 47—he went to be with his Lord on December 11, 1995. Dr. Bahnsen left in his wake a legacy of apologetic evangelism. Not only was he one of the leading apologists and debaters of this century,[1] taking on prominent atheistic champions, he was also devoted to seeing Christians at all levels equipped and competent to defend the faith themselves. The defense of the Christian faith [apologetics] is the responsibility of every Christian. This was the heart-felt conviction of Dr. Bahnsen, who devoted much of his ministry to the training of men and women for this important task. He was eminently qualified to offer such training and instruction. First, Dr. Bahnsen was a man who loved and was committed to his Lord Jesus Christ—he was called by God to this task. He received a B.A. (magna cum laude, philosophy) from Westmont College, and then simultaneously earned the M.Div. and Th.M. degrees from Westminster Theological Seminary, specializing in systematic theology and ethics. From there he went on to the University of Southern California where he received his Ph.D. in philosophy, specializing in the field of epistemology (the theory of knowledge). His dissertation was on the subject of self-deception, making a significant contribution to this important apologetic issue. student at seminary, he was called upon by the renowned apologist, Dr. Cornelius Van Til, to lecture for him in his apologetics course. Dr. Bahnsen has done much toward explaining, applying and even popularizing the work of Dr. Van Til’s distinctive presuppositional apologetic.[2] This volume is a compilation of materials produced by Dr. Bahnsen over several years and is intended to introduce students to important foundational concepts essential to biblical apologetics. The first section, previously published as a syllabus, provides a step-by-step explanation of key issues in Christian apologetics and establishes the biblical support for the presuppositional method. The second section of this volume offers further practical advice on how to approach an apologetic situation and provides specific answers to particular apologetic questions such as “the problem of evil.” The book concludes with an appendix giving a detailed exposition of the Apostle Paul’s defense of the faith as he delivered it at the Areopagus in Athens, as recorded in Acts 17. Every believer can profit from this material. It may prove especially useful as a textbook for school and church classes. As we become better equipped to defend the faith we find greater confidence and boldness to carry the message of the gospel to every dark place. No challenge shall intimidate the believer as he gently and respectfully closes the mouth of unbelief. May God bless you in your preparation to be “always ready.” Your fellow servant, Randy Booth
