The Kingdom Paradigm, Part Three
In my last blog, we explored how paradigms shape our worldview and influence the outcomes of our lives. We considered how our internal picture of faith — painted on the canvas of our minds — determines what we pursue and experience. We also recognized that most human paradigms are temporary, confined to time and space. But the Kingdom paradigm transcends time, offering an eternal perspective and purpose. In this final post of the series, we turn our focus to embracing this Kingdom paradigm — God’s way of doing and being right.
When Jesus walked the earth, He encountered the multitude of paradigms that still exists today — political, religious, cultural, and personal. He saw how deeply entrenched these systems were in human life. Yet He didn’t come to endorse or reform them. He came to replace them with something completely different: the redemptive Kingdom government of Heaven.
The Kingdom of God is not an earthly institution, a new religious movement, or a national government. It is a divine system — God’s original and perfect plan for humanity. It is His government, His rule, His way, and His authority. And it is eternal.
Jesus modeled the Kingdom paradigm perfectly. He didn’t just teach about it; He lived it. His life was the embodiment of God’s system — righteousness, peace, justice, healing, love, authority, and truth. He demonstrated what it looks like to live under divine governance — not just in theory, but in action.
This Kingdom paradigm is not optional for those who desire alignment with God. It is the only system that truly works. Humanity was made for the Kingdom, and the Kingdom was made for humanity. Nothing else will fit. Nothing else will fulfill.
So, what paradigm will shape your life? Will it be one built by human hands, subject to time and decay? Or will it be the eternal, unshakable, life-giving Kingdom of God?
The invitation still stands: embrace the Kingdom. Live by His System. Pursue His way of doing and being right. It is the only paradigm that lasts.
