The Apostle Paul exhorted in Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. What is the mind of Christ? He explains in the earlier verses in the outworking of human affections in Philippians 2:1-4 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

The unbeliever or the natural man cannot understand spiritual things. Understanding comes by the illumination of the Holy Spirit indwelling the believer. To the unbeliever, the things of God are foolishness to him. I recall as an unbeliever I heard for the first time the word “holiness”. It has no meaning to me. I do not understand what it means. I recall also not having any moral compass in the sense the I have not heard the laws of God as summarised in the Ten Commandments.

Ecclesiastes 5:13-17

13 There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt. 14 But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand. 15 As he came forth of his mother’s womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand. 16 And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind? 17 All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.

The Apostle Paul’s claim is that his utterance is God-given and Spirit-led. This is a proof text for infallibility of the preaching ministry of the apostles. Today, the apostles are no longer with us. But the Word of God that is written down is preserved for us today (Matt 5:17-18, Psalm 12:6-7). Today, we are to preach the Word of God as the Spirit of God teach us in our study of Scriptures. Our authority is in the Word of God recorded for us today.

The Holy Spirit that indwells the believer guides him in understanding the things freely given to us of God. The believer appropriates God’s wisdom through the Holy Spirit that teaches the truth to us.

The natural man cannot receive and know the spiritual significance of Scripture. The baptism of the Spirit is a one-time thing when he receives Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Saviour (John 3: 5-6, 14:6, 1 Cor. 12:13, Eph. 1:13, Romans 8:9). The Holy Spirit that indwells the believer helps him to interpret the scripture.

The Holy Spirit guides man to understand the truth of God’s Word. When the child of God prays and seek the Spirit’s help in understanding the Bible, he is helped. The Holy Spirit guides the people of God to the truth of God’s Word, illuminating their minds so that they know the mind of God. This heavenly wisdom, heavenly manna, nourishes the human soul.

Acts 9:1-11 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, 2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. 3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: 4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

(1) Scripture Is the Rule of Life
– Humble Obedience, the True Imitation of Christ

The goal of the new life is that God’s children walk in the beauty of God’s law. In doing so, we become sure of our adoption as children of the Father. A sincere repentance from the heart does not guarantee that we shall not wander the straight path and sometimes become bewildered. Let us then search the Scripture to find the root principle for the reformation of our life.
