Jesus explains the secrets of God with parables or allegories, mysterious and difficult to interpret, these teachings describe the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus looks in the daily things of life such as the bread, the yeast, the mustard seed, the examples we need to learn: "Again he asked, ´What shall I compare the kingdom of God to?´", Luke 13:20.
The apostle Paul also gives us a description of this Kingdom in the second letter to the Corinthians: "Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.", 2 Corinthians 6:10.
The kingdom of God begins with a call: "As God's co-workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain", 2 Corinthians 6:1. And this call is a call to the fullness of spiritual goods in man, this is salvation: "´In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.´ I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation", 2 Corinthians 6:2.
According to the Christian faith, the Kingdom of God is progressive mentality, it is precision and accuracy, it is life ("I am the way, the truth and the life", John 14:6). The Kingdom of Heaven is the dominion, empire, government of the divine perfections: "Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect", Matthew 5:48.
And this Kingdom as Paul describes it is both wealth and poverty. Poverty is the poverty of spirit, that is, an attitude of humility towards God: "Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven", Matthew 5:3.
But it is also wealth, the Kingdom of God is growth in values until eternal life is obtained, which is the true fortune of man. Well-established wealth is wealth founded on the fear of God, as Jesus explains, when we act out of greed, the person that accumulates for himself ends up accumulating for others (The Parable of the Rich Fool, Luke 12:13-21).
