858. Things of God

1 Corinthians 2

“Deep things of God” 1Co_16:10-11

1. “The Testimony of God” (1Co_16:1). Our testimony is of account and counts when it is what the Lord says.

2. “Demonstration of the Spirit” (1Co_16:4). The only effective worker is the Spirit, but if we are usable He will use us.

3. “Power of God” (1Co_16:5). When God’s power works, things are gripped and governed.

4. “Wisdom of God” (1Co_16:7). The wisdom is displayed in the works of His hand, in the heart of His love, and in the grace of His salvation.

5. Spirit of God—1Co_16:11-12, 1Co_16:14, is the source of Truth, its Revealer, and its Communicator.

6. “The Mind of the Lord” (1Co_16:16). When we know the Lord we know His mind.

7. “The Mind of Christ” (1Co_16:16). “Christ” is the One who thinks of us, thinks in us, and thinks through us.
