The greatest of minds cannot know the mind of God. Scripture can be memorized to the last letter but if the spirit of God does not live in your heart, the fullness of God will never be known to you. (Ephesians 3:17-19) To know God, baptism in the Holy Spirit is needed. For that to happen you must believe in Jesus Christ. The way of life you once lived will become fresh and new, cleansed of all things of this world. A desire for the word of Christ will bloom with new meaning and light the way to a new life. Those whose heart is right He will call to himself. (John 15:9-17) A heart that loves Christ is also one that abides in the word and spreads the word to those in need. The word will manifest itself in those who believe and follow it. No one can fully know the mind of God, our creator, but we can be covered in the fullness and inner peace in His presence. That peace is His Spirit that lives within letting us know He loves us, will care for us, will never abandon us. His constancy is always true.
