1 Corinthians 2:12 “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.”
John 14:26 ” But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.”
Matthew 16:15-17 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” 17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. Divine truths are revealed only by God to those who seek them. We are so blessed because we have the mind of Christ.
1 Corinthians 2:16 “For, who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
Praise God for these promises that are filled with hope and truth from Him who never is wrong and who never lies! We understand scripture through the Holy Spirit. It is a miraculous imparting of God’s knowledge and wisdom that is given through He Himself, God the Holy Spirit. And for all of us, including those of us who were not blessed with formal training, how wonderful that the Lord has not forgotten us. To all of His He has given this great promise in 1 John 2:27 “As for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as His anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit–just as it has taught you, remain in him.” We still need pastors and teachers. We all have a purpose which God has given us. The Lord speaks through each of us to speak to each other. We need each other. First God and then others. It all starts and ends with the Lord God!
The truth of Christ, abiding in us is a means to sever from sin, and unites us to the Son of God, John 15:3-5. God gave us His Word to reveal Himself and as a guide to us. Spend time listening to God. Have conversations with Him in private and when out and about. Why waste time by not being in conversation with Him. But we need to listen to Him. If we don’t understand, ask Him. (James 1:5)
Want to know more about God? Read the Bible. Want to push forward to the goal of not sinning. Read the Bible. Want a roadmap for life. Read the Bible. Want to understand the Bible? Talk with the Holy Spirit. Especially listen, and then do. In that is surpassing peace, joy, love and quietness of soul. Know that God is good all the time and that He loves us. Know that and know peace. So, in that, peace to you! Praise God!
