We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. ~ 1 Corinthians 2:12 ~

 

The spirit of the world is one that leads and binds people to sin, but Christ followers or Christians are given the Spirit who is from God, the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enables Christians to have the mind of Jesus revealed to them in a way that others can never understand. The Holy Spirit is in contrast to the sinful nature, purififying the hearts of Christians, therefore bringing forth good fruits.
