But coupled with the added dimensions of God's Holy Spirit , we can communcate with God's mind , understand his thoughts and cultivate a relationship with him..
As Paul wrote , " For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him ? Even so no one knows the things of God except the spirit of God. " { verse 11 }
The Spirit of God allows us to share the mind of the Creator, to participate in the divine nature , to see things from a higher perspective--- God's perspective.
In addition to opening our minds to spiritual comprehension, the Holy Spirit imparts to us God's spirtual characteristics and attributes...
God acts upon and operates in receptive minds through his Holy Spirit.. His Spirit within us creates internal changes that bring about an entirely new outlook..
His Spirit flows through our minds and empowers us to live good and Godly lives.. We become at one with the Creator in Spirit and in purpose . " We become partakers of the divine nature " { 11 Peter 1:4 }
In doing so.. We become a new creature.
Thats why the Bible describes conversion as being " born from above ". or " born again ".
The apostle Paul entreats us to partcipate in this magnificent expirence : Let this mind be in you which also was in Christ Jesus " { Philippians 2:5 } and in { Romans 12:2 }
Do not be conformed by this world , but be transfered by the renewing of your mind...
