How do we know Christ's kingdom has come?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's kingdom has come in a spiritual sense, established at His resurrection and seen in the church.

In Mark 9:1, Jesus indicates that some of His disciples would see the kingdom of God come with power before tasting death. This kingdom is spiritual and present, confirmed through the church, which is the Israel of God (Galatians 6:16). The establishment of Christ's kingdom was fulfilled at Pentecost when the Holy Spirit empowered the disciples to proclaim the gospel, exemplifying the advancing nature of His reign. The ongoing success of the gospel mission indicates the current reality of Christ's rule and authority over all creation.
