God's kingdom will triumph because it is built upon His promises and the work of Christ, which cannot be thwarted.
The assurance of God's kingdom triumphing is rooted in the character and promises of God. In Matthew 16:18, Jesus declares, 'Upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.' This highlights that the foundation of the church is Christ Himself, ensuring its ultimate success against opposition. Furthermore, God's word throughout the Bible promises that nothing can hinder the building of His kingdom. Romans 8:31 reinforces this truth, stating, 'If God be for us, who can be against us?' Believers are therefore called to be confident in the power of God and His sovereign plan, knowing that He is actively working to gather His elect from all nations until the end of time.
