What is the kingdom of God? It is believers that have been born again of water and the Spirit according to John 3:5[1] It is believers that have first been reconciled to God by the death of His Son according to Ro. 5:10[2] and then born of water and the Spirit. What better way to be born of water than Acts 10: 48[3] in the Name of the Lord Jesus? What better way to be born of the Spirit than Acts 2:4[4] baptized in the Holy Ghost speaking tongues as the Spirit of the Lord gives you utterance? See also ICor. 14:2, 14[5].

Where is the kingdom of God? It is in the hearts of believers who have been born of the water and the Spirit according to John 3:5[6]. Jesus said in Luke 17:21[7] the kingdom of God is within you. The kingdom of God is in this world according to Matt. 13:41,49[8], but it is not of this world according to John 18:3[9].

When was the kingdom of God established? A king has a throne and Jesus took His throne after He was resurrected according to Acts 2:30,31[10]. According to Acts 2:33[11] that is when He poured out His Spirit by which by which we could be born again.
Heb. 11:8[12] says Abraham proved his faith by obedience. Do you have faith? Read and obey Acts 2: 38, 39[13]!
