The Place Where We Live It's the Kingdom of God

The kingdom of God is not of this world. The definition of faith tells us the same thing. "Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1). Just prior to His ascension, we find that Jesus gave "instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles. He had chosen and spoke about the Kingdom of God" (Acts 1:2""3). Thus, why should we be preaching about worldly problems and situations when we know that God has already overcome the world? If this is true, and it is, there is nothing left for us to overcome. The overcoming factor belongs to the worldly. We, as souls saved, have been "Returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of our souls" (1 Peter 2:25). "Christ Jesus has become for us wisdom from God, that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption" (1 Colossians 1:30).
