1 Corinthians 2:11-12
11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

We do not know all that is in another person’s heart unless they reveal it to us truthfully. This is infinitely more true with God; unless He reveals His thoughts to us, we cannot presume to know or understand what is on His mind. Yet for those of us who have been reborn by God through faith in Christ alone, we are able to know what He has told us in His word by His interpretive presence as the Holy Spirit living in us. God Himself interprets what we read and hear from the Scriptures. There we see the things freely given through His grace in Christ to us sinners.
