In our last visit we began a focus and amplify study of 1 Corinthians 2. I pointed out that I felt the focus was this: God wants us to know what He has prepared for those who love Him. 

As you start to amplify this focus it becomes clear that the Holy Spirit plays a vital role in making this happen. This is very important to understand for those who are trying to communicate this truth to others. It’s also important to understand for those who want to know what God has prepared. Finally, it’s important to understand how the Holy Spirit was involved in preparing the documents that are the focus of our study on this program and the basis for what He wants us to know. They’re also the basis for effective communication of spiritual truth to others. Three points then amplify the focus.
 
1. The Holy Spirit’s part in producing God’s Word.
2. The Holly Spirit’s part in proclaiming God’s Word.  
3. The Holy Spirit’s part in perceiving God’s Word. 
 
Now let’s amplify point 1 further. The Holy Spirit is the only one who knows God’s thoughts according to verse 11. He is the one who reveals to man God’s thoughts, that is, what God promised He has prepared for those who love Him, verse 10. Actually, it would be more correct to say He reveals these truths to those whom He selects to be the inspired spokes-people and writers of what He has revealed, verses 12-13. 
 
We’ll look into how the Holy Spirit inspired these individuals in our next visit. I hope you will tune in.
