Jesus offers in the reality of His present Kingdom a good life of a good person who avoids a troubled life as a broken person. He teaches us to live under an open Heaven right here, right now “On Earth as it is in Heaven”. Eternal life starts immediately in the gospel of the Kingdom of God. Blessed salvation is not delayed until life after death.
Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.‘ [Luke 17:20-21]
