The Kingdom

What is the kingdom of heaven? Is it a synonym for the church? Can one become a part of the kingdom of heaven and not be saved?

The answer to these questions is that the kingdom of heaven and its synonymous phrase, the kingdom of God, simply refer to the rule and reign of Christ. Thus when we read that the “kingdom of heaven is like” we learn something about the nature of the rule and reign of God — whether it be in heaven or on earth.
