Kingdom Value

The concept of Kingdom Value refers to the principles and priorities that characterize the Kingdom of God as taught by Jesus and the apostles. It emphasizes values such as love, humility, service, and righteousness, contrasting with worldly values.

In the first-century Jewish context, the Kingdom of God was anticipated as a political and spiritual reign. Jesus redefined this concept, focusing on internal transformation and ethical living rather than external power.
