“In [Glem] Melo’s view, the Kingdom of God has ‘already’ arrived through Jesus’ ministry and the Holy Spirit’s work. This means that the spiritual power to address systemic injustice and poverty is already present. The arrival of the kingdom creates a ‘new humanity’ of believers who are called to live out kingdom values, such as generosity and concern for the poor, in the here and now.” – Gemini (AI)

“[A] Melo-aligned perspective might encourage believers to… [e]ngage in faithful action by volunteering at food banks, supporting anti-poverty organizations, or advocating for just policies, seeing these efforts as a continuation of Jesus’s ministry and a witness to the kingdom’s presence.” – ibid.

“Live out a new identity rooted in Christ by prioritizing kingdom values over worldly allegiances, seeking to live in a way that models justice and generosity to those in need.” – ibid.
