Man’s
need for divine illumination springs from two different areas. The first is due
to the infinity of God and the finiteness of man. Although man was created in the
image of God, which makes possible communication between God and man, the
Scripture declares: “For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit
of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit
of God.” (1 Corinthians 2:11) Since the Spirit of God is the only one who knows the mind or
thoughts of God, even unfallen man would be unable, apart from revelation and
illumination, to know and to understand the mind of God.
