1 Corinthians 2:11-16 KJV
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
OBSERVATION QUESTIONS
1) How does the Apostle Paul indicate that we can know about another believer or about God? (v.11)
2) What spirit have we received if we belong to God?What does that spirit enable us to do and have? (v.12-13,15-16)
3) What spirit does the natural man have and can (s)he receive spiritual things from God? Why, or why not? (v.14)
APPLICATION QUESTIONS
4) Do you have the mind of Christ? How do you know?
LIFE LESSONS
5) The mind of every believer in the Lord Jesus Christ is to be renewed so that we may discern the voice and leading of the Holy Spirit
