| description | This paper aims to explain the ethics of the kingdom of God in the Old Testament perspective that is still little discussed, especially in the Book of Ecclesiastes, and how it is implemented in contemporary Christian life. Data was collected through the literature study method and data analysis was conducted by reviewing Bible verses and various literature on the kingdom of God from the Old Testament perspective. The results showed that the kingdom of God in the Book of Ecclesiastes is understood inclusively-exclusively as God's eternal rule over His people through General Revelation, General Grace, and in the Person of Jesus Christ, where the ethical values of the kingdom of God contained in the Book of Ecclesiastes are in the form of understanding God as the Creator of all things, the Holder of the Power of Life and unfathomable Wisdom. The implementation of the ethical values of the kingdom of God in the
Book of Ecclesiastes is anticipating the challenges of religious radicalism, realizing common grace, obeying worship to God, not loving money, avoiding the trap of materialism, not deifying technology, being both ‘salt’ and ‘light’ for this world and consistently carrying out the mission of preaching the Gospel of Christ in this world continuously as citizens of His Kingdom. |
