“What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” the things God has prepared for those who love him—
I have heard this preached with the idea that the wonders of heaven are greater than we can imagine. There is a problem with using this text to prove this; it's the next verse. "These are the things God has revealed to us by His Spirit," verse ten begins. So whatever these mysteries are, God has shown them to his people. In context, we see Paul is talking about the salvation found in Jesus's death on the cross and resurrection. Only the mind of God could come up with a plan that could bring about not just salvation but the transformation of lives. A plan that gives us the Spirit of God and the mind of Christ. It was God's plan. Others may say there are others like it in history, but they aren't like what God really did.
