GOD's Secret Wisdom
"But
we speak of God's Secret Wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God
destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age
understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified The Lord of Glory"
I
Corinthians 2:7-8
This is 'the hidden Wisdom'—God's Secret Wisdom. It is The Wisdom of GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT.
The
WISDOM of GOD is a Mystery. It is ‘the hidden Wisdom’, which God ordained
before the world began. None of the rulers, princes, or world's great men of
all time understood it.
The
Wisdom of God is hidden from the understanding of the ordinary or natural or
sinful man.
For
the Scriptures tell us that:
“The
mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by The Spirit is Life and
Peace; the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor
can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.”
Romans
8:6-8 NIV
True
wisdom is a great gift from GOD, given only to those who belong to Christ, who
however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by The Spirit (read verse 9).
Our words become wise because they are from GOD.
The
carnal mind is dead and is enmity against God (Rom.8:6, 7).To the mind of the
natural or sinful man, the Wisdom and Knowledge of God remains unfathomable,
inscrutable, unsearchable, mysterious, and undiscoverable.
The Lord of Glory destined this Secret Wisdom for our glory and
hid it before time began. Through the Wisdom of The Spirit of Christ, GOD has
revealed to us the Gospel of the Kingdom. The Gospel is not earthly wisdom; it
is Heavenly Wisdom—Divine Wisdom.
When the spiritually mature Christian
who is ripe in understanding hears the Truth, and receives it into his mind, a
higher wisdom is imparted—a knowledge of the Divine Plan previously hidden from
him.
The
advancement of this Wisdom has nothing to do with ‘the wisdom of this world’ or
of the rulers and leaders of this age.
This Wisdom,
God devised and decreed before ages for our glorification. This means
that, by the Revelation of The Wisdom of God;
which personified is Jesus Christ,
He will lift us into the Glory of His Presence.
The
Wisdom of God is a Mystery. But, this
mystery has been unveiled to us by His Spirit.
