In a reflective teaching on 1 Corinthians 2:12-16, the focus is on the distinction between the natural and spiritual realms, as articulated by Paul. Believers have received the Spirit of God, enabling them to understand divine gifts, which the natural man perceives as foolishness due to a lack of spiritual discernment. Paul contrasts worldly peace with the peace given by Jesus, rooted in a right relationship with God and characterized by righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. The teaching highlights the importance of investing in the spiritual kingdom and living by the Spirit, embracing qualities like meekness and purity of heart. Paul concludes that those who are spiritual can judge all things, possessing the mind of Christ to understand spiritual truths beyond the natural mind’s grasp.
