Wisdom and Knowing

Wisdom and Knowing

 However,
 we speak wisdom among those who are mature,

 yet not the wisdom of this age,
 nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery,

 the hidden wisdom which God ordained
 before the ages for our glory,

which none of the rulers of this age knew;

 for had they known,
 they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

But as it is written:
"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,

Nor have entered into the heart of man

The things which God has prepared
 for those who love Him." 

But God has revealed them to us
 through His Spirit.

 For the Spirit searches all things,
 yes, the deep things of God.

For what man knows the things of a man
 except the spirit of the man which is in him?
 Even so no one knows the things of God
 except the Spirit of God.

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.

These things we also speak,

 not in words which man's wisdom teaches
 but which the Holy Spirit teaches,

 comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

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.

But he who is spiritual judges all things,
 yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.

For "who has known the mind of the Lord
 that he may instruct Him?" 

But we have the mind of Christ. 

1 Corinthians 2:6-16 

For now we see in a mirror, dimly,
 but then face to face.

 Now I know in part,
 but then I shall know just as I also am known.

  And now abide faith, hope, love, these three;

 but the greatest of these is love. 

1 Corinthians 13:12-13

When we reach Heaven, we will have a 'Knowing' that we can never understand while on earth. Although as believers in the LORD JESUS we know and understand many spiritual truths through the revelation of the Holy Spirit, our spiritual sight is dimmed by our carnal nature. We do not see spiritual things with our natural eyes but through eyes of faith, which is based on the word of GOD. We also live according to our faith. Such wisdom and such living is foolishness to those of the world. We live constantly with the hope that our faith will become sight one day!
