Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2: 10-12
… these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.
Scripture Commentary:
God has freely given us His love and a chance to choose. We can choose the things of this world (money, cars, lust of the flesh) or we can choose to serve God.
We need the things of the world to live but we do not need to let anything of this world rule us. God gives us what we need. We are to labor for our needs, but more importantly, we are to labor for our Lord Jesus Christ.
Where would we be if not for His grace and mercy?
God gave His son for us. What have we given to Him? God’s Holy Spirit lives in us but we have to accept, repent and ask God for forgiveness so that it can be awakened.
Non-Christians cannot understand God, and they cannot grasp the concept that God’s Spirit lives in those who believe. To have an intimate relationship with Jesus is to spend time with Him.
