Things freely given us of God 1 Corinthians 2:9-12: The benefits of the gospel are beyond what could ever be imagined in this life and in the life to come. Paul described gospel benefits saying, "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." (1 Corinthians 2:9) We have all the benefits of the gospel in this age and an inheritance that is waiting for us in the world to come. Included in these blessing are peace, contentment, joy, love and a wealth that we simply cannot comprehend. We must not allow our sins and our poor choices to carry us away from God's great blessings.

The many unseen things of the gospel have been revealed through God's Spirit to the apostles. They in turn wrote those things down in our Bible so that we might know both the mind of God and the promises of God. The Holy Spirit has revealed the mystery of the deep things of God through the apostles. The only way that we could possibly know the mind of God was through revelation. "It is not possible to measure the arm of God with the finger of man."

God has given His Spirit to His people. "And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him." (Acts 5:32) Those that have the Spirit of Christ do not think the same way that the people of the world think. Those that have the Spirit of God recognize how blessed they are by God. They study God's word and follow His teaching to enjoy true peace. When you allow the Holy Spirit to work in your mind through the word of God you will find truths that will help you in everyday life.
