Read: 1 Corinthians 2:10–14
Have you ever listened to someone speaking a foreign language? When you don’t know the language, it can sound strange. Paul tells us that this is how unbelievers can feel when they hear Christians talking about the truth of God’s Word. Some people think differently from God, but we know that God knows best. As Christians, God’s Spirit lives in us and He shows us the truth.
Other people might not understand the truth of God’s Word. They might even think we are wrong to believe it. But we can be confident in the truth because we know the Holy Spirit has revealed or shown it to us.
