NextLevel Online: 1 Corintians

1 Corinthians 2

In this chapter, Paul highlights the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of believers. While chapter 1 focused on Christ’s work on the cross, chapter 2 emphasizes how the Spirit unifies and empowers all Christians, regardless of spiritual maturity. Paul contrasts those without the Spirit—unable to understand spiritual truths—with those who have the Spirit and can discern God’s wisdom. Through the Spirit, believers are given the mind of Christ, which should shape their unity, perspective, and relationships.

1 Corinthians 2

Summary: Chapter 2 continues the theme of the unity the Corinthian believers and all

believers everywhere should have. In chapter 1 the emphasis was on the work of

Christ on the cross. The emphasis in chapter 2 is the work of the Holy Spirit

within believers.

In the same way that the core message of grace should unify, the spiritual reality of the

one Holy Spirit in all believers should unify.

While there are different levels of maturity, every believer has equal access to the Holy

Spirit.

● Verse 14 - The person without the Spirit

● Verse 15 - The person with the Spirit

The universal availability of the Spirit and how that empowers believers to the mind of

Christ should further reinforce the actual experience believers have with one another.

Questions for Reflection/Discussion:

-How often do you think about the fact that, as a believer, you have the Holy Spirit

within you?

-How does it impact your outlook on others to consider that they have the same Spirit

as you?

-What does it mean to have the mind of Christ?
