The Mind of God

v 9-11

the eye has never seen, nor the ear heard, nor the mind imagined what God has in store for those who love Him

God reveals these things by His Spirit- all we can handle

v 12

received not the spirit of the world

John 17:16 “They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.”

2 Timothy 1:7 “for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”

we have received the Spirit of God

Romans 8:15 “For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!””

SO THAT we might undrstand the things freely given us by God.

v 13

v 14

the Natural Man does not accept (perceive, understand) the things of God

Not able to undertand them because they are spiritually discerned.

The spiritual man understands from God’s perspective

discerning evil from good

loving one’s enemies, truly

forgiving from the heart
