What the eyes can't see 30

The greatest proof we have of the spiritual kingdom, is that of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. If we apply the standard norms of society, in establishing fact, that of eye witnesses, then the life death and resurrection of Jesus should be more than acceptable. His life at least is an accepted fact by most Jews, most if not all Muslims, by all Christians and many others. The facts of his existence can be found in many books outside of the bible, both religious and secular.
Another but often less accepted fact is, what do you say to the millions of Christians who claim to have been reborn and have the Spirit of God within them? James4:5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely? (this might not be the correct verse to quote here but I put it here for those who believe, to read in context and discern over) Then what about all those who claim to have been healed? By Gods hand, I will personally stand up and be counted among those.( from six months to now more than seventeen years, all praise be to God)
Another area on which the spiritual realm plays a significant role, is that of Fear, what causes it and what controls it? At some stage throughout every ones life they will encounter fear of one kind or the other,be that of a physical nature or that of the unknown. Death is probably the greatest of mans fears, and in itself could be looked upon as evidence of a spiritual realm.
1John4:18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
With all this evidence then, why is it that we don't all have this connection with this spiritual world? Well there may be more than one way of seeing beyond what is visual, but I believe only one which is beneficial, and that is Christ's way! John3:3 In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." So here we have it in order to see or partake in this spiritual world ( the part of it that is beneficial that is ) one needs to get into a relationship with God, without whom your greatest fears will remain unanswered. So I urge all of you who haven't yet, to give God at least the same concern as you have all your other beliefs.Why worry about the unseen? 2Cor4:18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
