The other day, we looked at a translation of 1 Corinthians 2:16b which says, Christ’s mind we have! Let’s look at the how and how not of having wisdom from Christ.
How Not?
- Through our senses: (eye hath not seen, nor ear heard) We do not live by sight.
- Through our natural mind: (neither have entered into the heart of man)
How?
- Know that God has prepared them. God has his counsels prepared beforehand to hold in reserve. Nothing is a surprise to God.
- We receive these counsels. . .
- through the revelation of the Holy Spirit (v. 10,11).
- through receiving the teaching of the Holy Spirit (v. 12, 13).
- through spiritual discernment/illumination given by having Christ’s mind (v.14-16).
Christ’s mind we have!
