Colossians 1:13 Who delivered us out of the authority of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love.
To be transferred into the kingdom of the Son of the Father's love is to be transferred into the Son who is life to us. The Son in resurrection is now the life-giving Spirit. He rules us in His resurrection life with love. This is the kingdom of the Son of the Father's love. When we live by the Son as our life in resurrection, we are living in His Kingdom enjoying Him in the Father's love.
To be trained that Thou may the reward to us give;
Make the Kingdom’s reality our exercise,
That its manifestation may be our great prize.
Lord Jesus, we aspire to be Your overcoming believers in this age who will rule, reign, and feast with You in the millennium! We love You, Lord Jesus, and we love Your appearing! Praise the Lord! 😀

Lord Jesus gain us for your kingdom in this age and the reward in the next!
