“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.”
1 Corinthians 2:12 KJV
As Paul reveals, the Spirit proceeding from God unveils the gifts of His generosity. He has graced us with understanding so that we may know what He has always had in mind for us; this is so unlike the secular spirit of the wisdom of the world where everything has a price tag! Christ is the unveiling of the mystery of God’s wisdom - now we know how God redeemed our righteousness and our wholeness in Christ. Mankind is God’s design when we are in Christ, associated in oneness with Him. Our wisdom, righteousness, holiness are sourced in this union. Secular religion is the product of the spirit of this world where everything is performance based, only the heroes of the moment are acclaimed, the rest are reduced to spectators and audience. But thanks be to God that in Christ we are redeemed completely. This He has freely given us. Let’s believe it and receive it. Hallelujah!
