Sermon Notes:

• The Holy Spirit Inspired Scripture to Reveal God’s Eternal Truth and Wisdom
  • God’s truth and wisdom is very different from our fallen world’s “wisdom” (verses 6-9)
  • The Bible reveals this eternal wisdom (verse 10)
• The Holy Spirit’s Illumination Is the Only Way to Truly Understand Scripture
  • The Spirit helps believers understand the Scriptures (verses 11-13)
  • Even the smartest unbelieving expert cannot fully understand Scripture (verses 14-15)
• Are You Actually Using the Mind of Christ?
  • The Holy Spirit gives you the mind of Christ! (verse 16)
  • Use His mind to read and study the Bible for yourself
  • Meditate on what you read using Christ’s mind
