The Christian’s relationship with God Not Made With Hands The kingdom, the temple, and the covenant in which Christians have a relationship with God are all “not made with hands.” Ultimately, the divine, spiritual, and eternal nature of these things that are not made with hands will have fruition for the saved in a home with God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. The Christian’s relationship with God

The Kingdom not made with hands Daniel 2 promises a kingdom not made with hands that would fill the earth (2:34-35, 44-45) “Not made with hands” implies that it would be of Divine origin, spiritual in nature, and eternal. The New Testament describes the kingdom of Christ as being… Not of this world (John 18:36) Invisible/spiritual (Luke 17:20-21) Everlasting (2 Peter 1:11)

The Temple not made with hands God does not dwell in temples made with hands He did not dwell in idols’ temples. (Acts 17:24) Even His temple on earth could not contain Him (1 Kings 8:27; Acts 7:47-50) We now worship God in a temple/tabernacle not made with hands (Mark 14:58; Hebrews 9:11, 24; Eph. 2:21-22)

A Circumcision not made with hands Physical circumcision was an important part of ancient covenants God made with man (Genesis 17:10-11; Leviticus 12:3) The new covenant is sealed with a circumcision not made with hands It occurs in the heart, as one is buried in baptism (Colossians 2:11-12; Romans 2:28-29)

If we are in the kingdom, the temple, and the covenant which are of divine origin, spiritual in nature, and eternal, we will have an everlasting dwelling with God… “a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” (2 Corinthians 5:1)
