Is Spirituality in the Bible?

The Bible is the doctrinal root of most Christian religions and denominations. Many of the denominations started as a result of differences in opinion over the meaning of certain Bible verses. What about spirituality? Is it mentioned in the Bible? The answer is yes.

The word "spiritual" is mentioned 28 times in the KJV Bible. All but one of those verses is in the New Testament. It is used once in the Old Testament in Hosea 9,7. The word "spiritually" is used 3 times in the KJV Bible all of which are in the New Testament. The word spirit is used over 500 times throughout the Old and New Testaments.

One Bible verse that uses the word spiritual I find to be interesting is from 1 COR 2,15 in the King James Version Bible. It says " But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man". What is the message in this verse? Is this a good thing? Is this verse exhorting people toward spirituality?

The meaning and message to many Bible words and verses are up to us to decide their meaning or message. In the Gospels Jesus said that God seeks those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth. This verse is food for deeper thought and revelation from God. OK God, please reveal the truth...
