Sidenote on Spirituality 1

...these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. (1 Corinthians 2:10-13 ESV)
Do we know the mind of God? At first that may sound like a presumptuous question, but Paul indicates we can... and should. As those who have received the Spirit of God at salvation, we can, and should know the Mind of God by the Spirit of God, as we study His Word given to us with the interpretive help of the Spirit. Are we spiritual? Not only should we not be afraid to be, we should long to be so.
