The kingdom was prepared from the foundation of the world for those predestined to life under the Spirit's guidance.
AI summary
Christ appears as King and Judge, calling His sheep to come and inherit the kingdom. They are blessed of the Father because chosen by Him to grace and glory, dear to Him with everlasting love, and blessed with all spiritual blessings of the covenant: pardon, justification, sanctification, adoption, and right to the eternal inheritance prepared from the foundation of the world.
AI summary
The Lord Jesus, acting as Judge, calls the righteous to inherit the kingdom as heirs of God. That He prepared it for them from the foundation of the world means God's plan is eternal, not new; He intended to bestow salvation on them as individuals according to His own pleasure, which is right and consistent with justice since all men are equally undeserving by nature.
