While urging Corinth to repent of elevating human wisdom over God’s wisdom (1 Cor. 1:18-2:5), Paul acknowledges, “Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away” (2:6).

The Holy Spirit is truly the Trinity's Gift to us while we are on the earth with a mission to fulfill the Great Commission. He helps, counsels, comforts, strengthens, and intercedes for us.
