The verse discussed today and the other verses we have referenced convey that the kingdom of God is not merely a futuristic concept but a present reality to be experienced daily. In his letter to the Corinthians, Paul reminds them of their identity, their Spiritual dwelling amid this world, and the abundant blessings bestowed upon them by God. The world's system and order are at odds with God and His kingdom. But those who have bowed their knee to the one who claims to have all rule and authority, to them, they have received the Spirit, which is of God, that they might know by experiencing the things that have been freely given to them by God!
