The Untouchable

Devotional Reading:
Romans 14:17
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Romans 14:16-18 (in Context)

Devotional Question:
Does Paul teach that the Kingdom of God is physical or spiritual? Why are there so many directives to comparing physical things to intangibles?

Devotional Reading:
Hebrews 12:28
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe,
Hebrews 12:27-29 (in Context) 

Devotional Question:
Is there anything that can be touched that cannot still be shaken? Is Paul teaching that the kingdom of God is spiritual?

Did You Know?

The relationship between a spiritual kingdom of God and a finite physical world we live within is a major theme of instruction in the Bible. It's called Faith. We easily believe what we can see - but faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we cannot see.

Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

So... what is your hope in?
