How did Paul speak the things of the Spirit of God?
Paul spoke the things of the Spirit of God by comparing spiritual with spiritual. He did not use words that man’s wisdom teaches, but words the Holy Spirit teaches. The revelation came through the Word as the Holy Spirit worked, not by human energy or fleshly attainment.
Les explains that Paul spoke the things of the Spirit by comparing spiritual with spiritual. These things are of the Spirit of God and are not taught in words of man’s wisdom, but in words the Holy Spirit teaches. Les emphasizes that this knowledge is not attained by the energy of the flesh; the Holy Spirit works, coming through the Word, and reveals it freely. He also notes that we must line ourselves up with the Word of God to discern our eternal destiny, since only God can truly know the heart.
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
