“WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST!”

 1 Corinthians 2:14-16                (ESV)

“[14] The natural person does not accept the things of the SPIRIT of GOD, for they are folly to him, and he IS NOT ABLE to understand them because they are Spiritually discerned. [15] The Spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. [16] “For who has understood the mind of the LORD so as to instruct him?” But “WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST”.”

It can be very encumbering to observe people who are members of the the “Natural Man Club” which are seemingly Spiritually blind, “ignoring” the TRUTH when it is playing out right before their EYES!  My “Brain Damaged” mind tends to drift toward thinking of a person who has a disease that several medical professionals haven’t been able to diagnose, BUT THEN they go to a Doctor who has a host of patients who have experienced tremendous results from their protocols.  Why isn’t the successes of this physician made known to everyone???

The Amplified Bible translation of 1 Corinthians 2:14 says “But the natural [unbelieving] man does not accept the things [the teachings and revelations] of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness [absurd and illogical] to him; and he is incapable of understanding them, because they are spiritually discerned and appreciated, [and he is unqualified to judge spiritual matters].”  Humankind has limitations, regardless of what people admit.  In our “natural” state we are NOT ABLE to comprehend the intricacies of the SPIRIT OF GOD!  When “WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST” our actions should reflect this continuously.  

If and when our EYES are OPENED to SEE the TRUTH about our SPIRITUAL health, we quickly discover we are unable to save our souls!  We are TERMINAL!!  The ONLY CURE for the TERMINAL CONDITION is the BLOOD OF JESUS that was shed for us on Calvary!  John 14:6 explicitly says “JESUS said to him, “I AM THE WAY, and THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE. NO ONE comes to the FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME”!  “WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST” all because JESUS paid an unimaginable PRICE!!!  It is NOT because we are worthy, but because “WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST” that we will spend eternity with HIM!!!
