Know The Things Of God

"Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God: that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God."  I Corinthians 2:12.  The world knoweth not God.  The world has a wisdom that is not of God.  The world denies God.  A rejection of God opens the door for every vile and evil affection.  However, the church is not of the world.  The church of God are those precious souls that have been sanctified by the Spirit of God.  The church has separated from the world.  The church loves not the world, nor the things of the world.  The church embraces God because God has embraced the church.  God, therefore, has given us His spirit so that we might know the blessings that He has given to us.  God's blessings upon His people are given freely.  Freely we have received.  By the spirit which is of God we come to know God.  We understand and accept His wisdom and His will for our lives.  His blessings give us access to His presence and His companionship.  We give ourselves to His leadership and kingship.  God bestows upon us precious treasures that the world cannot know.  These treasures are for now, and the ages to come.
