Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
The phrase "the kingdom of God" and its twin the "kingdom of heaven" is used 100 times in the New testament. Who's Kingdom is it anyways? And does the phrase always refer to a single thing? Or does it have more than one utility? We look at one application of the phrase, and humanity's response to it becoming a reality.

Ephesians 1:13-14 NLT
And now you Gentiles have also heard the truth, the good news that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, He (God) identified you as His own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom He promised long ago.
The spirit is God's guarantee that He will give us the inheritance He promised and that He has purchased us to be His own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify Him.
