When I came to you, my brothers, to preach God’s secret truth, I did not use big words and great learning.

For while I was with you, I made up my mind to forget everything except Jesus Christ and especially his death on the cross.

So when I came to you, I was weak and trembled all over with fear, and my teaching and message were not delivered with skillful words of human wisdom, but with convincing proof of the power of God’s Spirit.

Your faith, then does not rest on human wisdom but on God’s power.

1 Corinthians 2:1-5

God has implanted the mind of Christ in those who have accepted His Son as their Savior. The Spirit of God has taken up residence in us. Now, we have a capacity for divine wisdom that no natural experience can ever provide. That does not mean we can think on God’s level but it does mean we have a new capacity to think and talk and act more and more like Christ Himself. We should ask forgiveness for not using the good mind God has given us. We should spend more time in His Word absorbing His thoughts so we can think, talk, and live more and more like Christ.
