Spirit to spirit

 

How do you describe color to a blind-from-birth person?  You can't.  Right?

Well, how does the Lord God describe things of the spirit to a natural-from-birth person?  That is, to us?  Good news, He can!  What is impossible with man is possible with God.

First Corinthians chapter 2 declares there is hidden wisdom, the wisdom of God, a mystery. (verse 7)

And in verse 9 it expands it to this, quoting from Isaiah:

"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."

Adding, "But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit." (verse 10)

God has revealed things to us which our natural senses have no power to comprehend!  And He will continue to reveal them to us!  That's really good news!  Yes, what is impossible with man is possible with God!

But how?  Spirit to spirit!  His Spirit to our spirit.  Hallelujah!

OK, truth be told, we will start by seeing in the Spirit dimly.  But we will grow, we will see more fully as His grace enables us to exercise our faith.

How does this all start?  ASK.  Ask the Lord God to reveal Himself to you.  He wants to.
