This article explores the relationship between the Kingdom, life, health, human choice, and repentance. It argues that life is a gift from the King, while health is a condition produced and sustained by life. Therefore, health systems can help people maintain healthy conditions, but they cannot create life itself. Jesus Christ and John the Baptist proclaimed that the Kingdom of God was near and called people to repent. In this context, repentance is presented as a transformation of the mind that leads to a change of choices—moving away from death and choosing life. The article emphasizes that God, the King of the Kingdom, is the source of life. Therefore, the Kingdom of God is fundamentally characterized by life and by the principles that protect, sustain, manage, and multiply life. Losing the Kingdom also means losing the dimensions associated with its government, including leadership, management, and the proper stewardship of life. The central message is simple: human beings can make a different choice. Choosing life requires a transformation of the mind, alignment with the Kingdom, and living according to the principles of the King. Those who receive life can then become instruments through which life reaches others.
“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.”
