As Christians, we are members of the kingdom of God as well as the social order of ______.

• A. The Next World
• B. This World
• C. Heaven
• D. Society

Answer: (B)

Christians live in two overlapping realities: God’s kingdom now, shaping our lives as believers, and the social order of this world, with whom we share daily life, duties, and responsibilities. The kingdom of God is not just a future hope; it leads and guides how we act, think, and relate to others right now. At the same time, we participate in earthly society—governing authorities, families, work, and community life—within the framework of this world. That makes the best answer the present, earthly social order.

The other options pull in different directions: the Next World or Heaven refers to the future eternal realm, not the current social sphere we inhabit; and Society is too general, whereas the established idea emphasizes the specific present-world social order we live in and influence.
