to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.
unto his kingdom and glory: This is one of many New Testament verses that speaks of the kingdom as an existing reality during the apostolic age. Citizenship in the kingdom of God is promised to those who make an appropriate response to the call. This kingdom is not a geographic entity. It is "the sphere of God’s rule" (Hogg and Vine 68). It is a spiritual relationship in which the will of God is "done on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10). "Glory is the future consummation of that kingdom. Glory of God expresses the sum total of the divine perfections" (Vincent, Vol. IV 27).
