John Calvin on the Kingdom of God

Taken from his Catechism of the Church of Geneva, c.1545. Discussing the Lord's Prayer:

Minister: What do you understand by the Kingdom of God in the second petition?
Child: It consists chiefly of two parts: that he would govern the elect by his Spirit; and that he would prostrate and destroy the reprobate who decline to submit themselves to his obedience; thus making it manifest that there is nothing which has the power to resist his will.
M: In what sense do you pray that this kingdom come?
C: That the Lord may daily increase the number of the faithful, and load them repeatedly with new gifts of his Spirit, till he wholly fill them. And further, that he render conspicuous and apparent his truth for the dispersal more and more of the darkness of Satan, and that he abolish all iniquity by furthering his own righteousness.

Pray God the Father to increase his kingdom in Ireland!
