Dictionary of Biblical Words
:
A phrase
often
very wrongly and lightly
used
—probably taken from
1 Cor. 2:16
16
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:16)
. It is not, however, generally used in
this
simple sense, but is intended to mean that
the
person
who has it is not
only
spiritual
, but knows
God
’s thoughts and
judgment
on the matter in hand—a very blessed and rare thing to
have
—but certainly not a matter to
boast
of, still less to assert in support of an opinion or line of conduct.
All
such expressions should be used sparingly, and
with
great
caution.
