I would like to share with you some insights gained from doing a focus and amplify study of 1 Corinthians 2. As I read this chapter over a few times I felt that the focus of what is being said is that God wants us to know some amazing things about what He has planned for those of us who love Him. What Paul says in this chapter can be summed up in a quote from Isaiah 64:4: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.” When I first studied this chapter and came on this quote from Isaiah I stopped and reflected on what it said. My conclusion was that what Paul was referring to was heaven. No human eye has seen what God has prepared in heaven for those who love Him. In addition, no human ear has heard the wonderful sounds of heaven. God has prepared these wonderful things for us who love Him. In fact, it is beyond our mind being able to conceive what God has prepared in heaven for those who love Him. I started dreaming about what it’s going to be like. And though what I was thinking may be true, that isn’t what this verse is primarily talking about. Verse 10 says, “God has revealed it to us by his Spirit!” Remember, the focus of this chapter is that God wants us to know what He has prepared for us who love Him. Read the chapter over again and see how Paul amplifies this truth.
