Eye Hath Not Seen
Kevin Sadler
“In 1 Corinthians 2:9, what is ‘the things which God hath
prepared for them that love Him’ referring to?”
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have
entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that
love Him” (1 Corinthians 2:9).This verse is commonly interpreted
to refer to the glories of heaven which none has seen nor heard. Once we get a
meaning for a verse in our minds, it is often difficult to dislodge it and
consider any other meaning.
However, here Paul wrote about the
truths of the Mystery that have been revealed to those who love the Lord in
this dispensation of grace. “The things which God hath prepared for them that
love Him” were not seen nor heard in the past, and they never “entered into the
heart of man” because they were “hid in God” (Ephesians 3:9) and were never
before revealed. But Paul writes in the next verse in 1 Corinthians 6:10: “But
God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit.” Now the Mystery has been fully
revealed! Now we see and know the things God has prepared for us as members of
the Body of Christ through the Holy Spirit via illumination to His Word.
Paul’s point here is not the things
in heaven God has prepared for us. Rather, it is that God has fully revealed to
us His formerly-hidden wisdom, the Mystery and the dispensation of grace. God
has revealed to us our heavenly calling and our blessed hope (Philippians 3:20;
Titus 2:13) which He “hath prepared” and “ordained before the world unto our
glory” (1 Corinthians 2:7), and we can see it, know it, and enjoy it right now!
