We Are Enriched With All Knowledge


[So] that in Him in every respect you were enriched, in full power and readiness of speech [to speak of your faith] and complete knowledge and illumination [to give you full insight into its meaning]. 1 Corinthians 1:5

One of the things that Jesus does for us is to enrich us with all knowledge! 

Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: [Let Him be your example in humility:] Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained, But stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being.Philippians 5-7 

Jesus will enrich us with all knowledge, so that we will actually have His mind. He does this so that we can think like He thinks and so that we may understand God as He understands God! The Truth just keeps getting better and better! We now have the mind of Christ, which means that we can know fully that we are now in God and that He is now in us. Jesus enriches us so that our Father can use us, just as He uses Jesus. We are now the servants of our Father just as Jesus is the Servant of Him. 

We are now dead to sin but alive unto God, just as Jesus is dead to sin and alive unto God, Romans 6:11! Look at Jesus’ life, He just took on His glory and talked with Moses and Elijah for a while, Mark 9:4. Jesus looked right at the devil, even after fasting for forty days and told him to leave, and the devil had no choice but to obey Him, Luke 4:8! Jesus knew that even though He was in the form of a man, that He still was God, that He still was One with God, and that God was still in Him! We now have Jesus enriching us with the knowledge that we too are one with our Father, even though we are here on this earth, 1 John 4:17! We are servants of God just like Jesus and we are by the power of our Father that is within us! Jesus wasn’t hindered by sin, our Father wasn’t hindered in being able to work through Jesus, and we have been born again, so that our Father has the exact same freedom through us that He has with Jesus! This is just down right awesome! Jesus is within us, He is enriching us with all knowledge, and by His power, we have the fullness of our Father, Who is God, within us!
