Confusion...
As I was settling into bed tonight, I started reading 1 Corinthians. All was well until I got to Chapter 2, Verse 10:"these things [wisdom] God has revealed to us through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God."
I have always been somewhat confused on exactly how to describe the Trinity, so maybe that is where I am having problems. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all one God in the Trinity, but separate entities. But it doesn't make sense that the Spirit would search God. I suppose it depends on the word being translated as "God", whether it is God as in the Godhead or God the Father. Normally, one of my bibles will have some kind of note saying what it is, but for some reason, not in this spot.
The following verses describe that only the spirit of a man knows the thought of the man and same with the Spirit and God. So is the Spirit the thoughts of God? Is that part of the Spirit's role in the Trinity?
And if that IS the Spirit's role.... WOW! We receive the Spirit when we become believers, so that means we have part of God's wisdom. I guess that makes a little more sense now. And as a result of having part of God's wisdom, we become convicted of sin and fruit of the Spirit should flow from us.
I've never really thought of it like this before... so maybe it's right, maybe it's wrong. I'm not sure I understand this, so if anyone has any comments, please leave them!!
