1Co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
1Co 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
1Co 2:12 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.
1Co 2:13 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.
Reading the news about the experts who have advised us about the Wuhan Virus. It seems that they were just guessing. I look around and see that many of our constitutional freedoms are at risk as governors seek to control their citizens with drones and other ways of spying to keep them isolated. Can they take away our freedoms? If we are in Christ Jesus, the Son of God, we are free because he has given to us the Holy Spirit and the Sprit makes us free.
John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
1Co 2:12 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.
What things are freely given to us? Spiritual things; liberty and freedom.
Gal 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
We are given the fruit of the Spirit.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Gal 5:23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
Gal 5:24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Gal 5:25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.
Gal 5:26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
We are taught by the Holy Ghost, or Holy Spirit "comparing spiritual things with spiritual."
The Holy Bible is Spiritual. We compare Spiritual things within the framework of the Bible. The word of God explains itself if taken in context. My mother used to say that people make the Bible say anything that they want. That is not using the Bible correctly. The best way to read the Bible is to read through each book and allow the Spirit to speak or if there is a question, go deeper using the whole Bible and searching a topic using a concordance. If we continue in reading the Bible and prayer, then we remain free indeed.
