1 Corinthians 2:12-16

One day God will wipe away every tear.

From the first moment of creation, to David's heart's cry, to our greatest need today, Elohim continues to create newness. He meets our sin with His salvation, our darkness with His light, our old habits with His new heart. Scripture proves there is nothing too messy for Elohim to make beautiful, and nothing too void for His presence to fill with His steadfast love. First5 

“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.” (Elie Wiesel)

1 Corinthians 2:12-16

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. 13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. 16 For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ. The New King James Version

Only the Holy Spirit could reveal the truths of God. The first verb refers to innate knowledge; the second refers to experiential knowledge. We could never have discovered the mysteries of God or the benefits of Christ’s death by ourselves. But we can know them by experience because they have been freely given to us by God. The NKJV Study Bible

God’s Spirit is not like the spirit of people or anything that can be comprehended, computed, or reasoned in this world. While God’s work is eternal, everything of this world is temporal—including current rulers and evil spiritual beings. Spirit who is from God describes the Spirit’s ability to provide believers with gifts and refers to God’s gracious gift of salvation, which believers can comprehend because of the Spirit. It therefore describes the content of God’s revealed wisdom and thus refers to Christ Himself. 

Without God’s help through the Spirit, people lack the ability to understand His plans or work. The Spirit (pneuma) is the one who truly explains and reveals the ways of God to people—believers are just messengers and instruments of the Spirit’s message. Paul again stresses that a true understanding of spiritual things occurs only with the aid of God’s Spirit.

Those who belong to the Spirit do not need to subject themselves to human condemnation or approval; they recognize that God is their only judge. Paul says this to combat the Corinthians’ suggestion that he should somehow justify who he is or his actions; his authority comes from Christ and the Spirit’s work in his life to emphasize the gift of the Spirit. Since Christ has no need of an advisor, this quotation suggests that God’s wisdom is incomprehensible—yet He has enabled believers to understand the wisdom of His salvation through the crucified Messiah, Jesus. Through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, God provides believers with the understanding they need. The presence of the Spirit grants believers the ability to discern God’s will and works within them to make them more like Christ. Faithlife Study Bible

God has revealed true wisdom to us by his Spirit. Here is a proof of the Divine authority of the Holy Scriptures. In proof of the Divinity of the Holy Ghost, observe, that he knows all things, and he searches all things, even the deep things of God. No one can know the things of God, but his Holy Spirit, who is one with the Father and the Son, and who makes known Divine mysteries to his church. This is most clear testimony, both to the real Godhead and the distinct person of the Holy Spirit. The apostles were not guided by worldly principles. They had the revelation of these things from the Spirit of God, and the saving impression of them from the same Spirit. These things they declared in plain, simple language, taught by the Holy Spirit, totally different from the affected oratory or enticing words of man’s wisdom. The natural man, the wise man of the world, receives not the things of the Spirit of God. Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary

John 15:15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.
