Wisdom of the Spirit

I Corinthians 2:9 "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what GOD has prepared for those who love him."

We have now received the Spirit of GOD, once we accept Christ as our Saviour, our Lord and King. GOD will reveal to us through His Spirit what we need to know.

There are those in this world who do not know GOD. They do not understand His word, His teachings nor can they even comprehend it. Not even the rulers of those days understood. Human wisdom comes from books, learning in a class room, learning through an apprenticeship but the wisdom of the Spirit is given to us by GOD. It is through the Spirit that we learn to be like Christ, giving ourselves over to Him to walk and talk like He did, to act as He did, to love as He did.

I Corinthians 2:12 "We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from GOD, that we may understand what GOD has freely given us."

I Corinthians 2:14 "The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of GOD, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned."

The above verse touches me in a way that brings to mind a few people who are dear friends. I can remember instances when these people really question the validity of Christ and His teachings. They wonder if He really existed or if He was a myth. They argue the "worlds" way, defending their beliefs passionately. I, however, find many bible verses that contradict what they say and I am going to keep my belief in the Lord. I pray for these people, hoping someday they will come to understand and love the Lord their GOD with all their hearts too.
