Spiritual Things To Spiritual Men

1 Corinthians  2:10  

"But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: 

for the Spirit searcheth all things, 

yea, the deep things of God." 

   Paul lays down the fact that the only person who can tell us about God is the Spirit of God. There are feelings which are so personal, things which are so private, experiences which are so intimate that no one knows them except a mans own spirit. Paul tells us and the same is true of God. There are deep and intimate things in Him which only His Spirit knows; and that Spirit is the only person who can lead us into really intimate knowledge of God.

   Paul speaks of the man who in (v-2:14) lives as if there was nothing beyond physical life and there were no needs other than material needs, whose values are all physical and material. A man like that cannot understand spiritual things. A man who thinks that nothing is more important than the satisfaction of the sexual urge cannot understand the meaning of chastity; a man who ranks the gathering of material things as the supreme end of life cannot understand generosity; and a man who has never a thought beyond this world cannot understand the things of God. To him they look mere foolishness. No man need be like this; but if he stifles "the immortal longings" that are in his soul he may make himself like this, so that the Spirit of God will speak and he will not hear. 

   My Friends, It is easy to become so involved in the world that there exists nothing beyond it. We must pray to have the mind of Christ, for only when he dwells within us are we safe from the encroaching invasion of the demands of material things.

Amen!
