The Kingdom (rule, way and system) of God is based upon love and forgiveness. It is comprised of love, compassion, forgiveness, blessing, and provision. Through and in His government, He gives us authority an victory over the fallen world, fallen creation, and the devil. God's kingdom is a government of wellness.
We receive the full benefits of the Kingdom of God through the cross of Jesus Christ. There is no other way to reach and know God and receive all of His blessings (physical and spiritual benefits). Because of sin the human race died. All are dead, i.e. separated from God. Christ died saddled with out sins, illnesses and pains to remove death and its effects; He also paid the complete penalty for not obeying the law. The kingdom of God is for all who have surrendered themselves to God by entering though the door (Jesus) that He opened.
Christ died to destroy death. He resurrected to give us life. Death to death, life to Life. (2 Cor. 2:16). God's kingdom is life, good things (spiritual and physical), provision and victory.
Christ is the only door through which we have victory over this worlds systems and Satan's way of doing things. Because of the cross, we can leap from death to life. We enter as sinners and condemned (separated from God); we come out forgiven and free. We enter and emerge with the power and authority to be healthy and whole. We enter filled with sin and come out clean and being filled with God. We enter under the devil's authority and come out a conqueror over the devil, his ways of doing things, and the garbage that he has put in our lives.
The cross is the point of forgiveness, removal of sin and the stain of sin, and of power. It is where we get united with God, and thorough Christ's death on it have access to the blessings, answers and the help that all human beings desire. If we follow Christ in and with faith, we have access to all the blessings of His kingdom.
