The Meaning of The Name

Kingdom and Covenant: A Theological Framework The name Kingdom and Covenant encapsulates two of the most central and unifying themes in Reformed theology, each reflecting a profound aspect of God’s redemptive work and sovereign rule over all creation.

 

Kingdom: The Sovereign Rule of God The concept of 

 

Kingdom in Reformed theology underscores the absolute sovereignty of God over all things, both in creation and redemption. Rooted in the biblical narrative, the Kingdom of God represents His righteous reign, exercised through His providence, His moral law, and ultimately through the redemptive work of Christ. Christ, as the exalted King, governs His church and creation with divine authority, bringing all things under His rule.

For Reformed Baptists, the Kingdom theme emphasizes:

• The Lordship of Christ over the church and the believer’s life.

• The advancement of the gospel as the means by which the Kingdom of God is manifested on earth.

• The eschatological hope that Christ’s reign will culminate in the full realization of His Kingdom at His return.

 

The Kingdom is not merely a future reality but a present spiritual reality in which believers participate through faith, obedience, and worship, as they live under the sovereign kingship of Christ.

 

Covenant: The Framework of God’s Redemptive Plan

 

The theme of Covenant serves as the backbone of Reformed theology, outlining the structure of God’s redemptive relationship with His people. Covenant theology emphasizes that from the beginning, God has related to humanity through covenants—formal agreements that establish the terms of His relationship with His people.

 

For Reformed Baptists, covenant theology is particularly significant in its emphasis on:

• The Covenant of Redemption – An eternal agreement within the Trinity to save a people for Himself through the work of Christ.

• The Covenant of Works – Established with Adam as the federal head of humanity, promising life for obedience and death for disobedience.

• The Covenant of Grace – God’s gracious promise to redeem His elect through faith in Christ, revealed progressively from Genesis to Revelation and culminating in the New Covenant.

    

     Distinctively, Reformed Baptists understand the New 

Covenant as being made exclusively with the elect, those who have been regenerated and brought into saving union with Christ, thus informing their view of the church and believer’s baptism.

 

Theological Significance of the Name

 

The union of Kingdom and Covenant reflects the holistic Reformed Baptist understanding of God’s work in history:

• Kingdom speaks to God’s sovereign rule and Christ’s kingship over His people and all creation.

• Covenant highlights the means by which God establishes, maintains, and fulfills His redemptive purposes through Christ.

 

Together, these themes underscore the mission of Kingdom and Covenant—to promote theological clarity, biblical fidelity, and confessional integrity within the Reformed Baptist tradition. The name serves as a continual reminder of the overarching narrative of Scripture: a covenant-making God who, through His sovereign rule, redeems and reigns over His people for His glory.
