I often hear how Christ's Church is God's kingdomw. But these verses seem to say otherwise:
Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom (Luke 12:32).
Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world' (Matthew 25:34).
Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe (Hebrews 12:28).
Listen, my beloved brethren: did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? (James 2:5)
