3. 1 Cor. 2:6-13 ( NKJV)
6 However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, 8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him." 10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

4. 1.Knowing the hidden Wisdom of God
Christ – Wisdom of God (1 Cor 1:24,30)
Psalms boy!!!!
Careful with favorites
Paul vs Apollos vs Cephas vs Christ
Col 2:3

5. 2.Seen among the mature/perfect
"Perfect" is used not of absolute perfection, but relatively to "babes," or those less ripe in Christian growth.
Obedience to the Word of God
Carnal man (1 Cor 3:1-4)
Sin prevents growth
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. (Jam. 3:17 )

6. 3.Revealed through the Spirit of God
God has given to us the Spirit that we might freely know the things of God as He instructs our hearts in the ways of God.
The Holy Spirit reveals to us about God and His wisdom. This knowledge is unattainable by human experiments, reasoning or analysis.

7. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. (Jam. 1:5
"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him." (1 Cor. 2:9 NKJ)
