Spirit-Led Wisdom: The Power of Preaching Christ (1 Cor. 2:1-16)
Mar 16, 2025 • John Holmes
Paul contrasts human wisdom with God’s wisdom, emphasizing that the gospel is not based on eloquence, rhetoric, or human intellect, but on the power of the Holy Spirit. The world's wisdom, no matter how refined or intellectual, cannot grasp the things of God—only those who have the Spirit can truly understand divine truth. Paul’s goal is to shift the Corinthians' confidence away from human reasoning and toward the supernatural revelation of God. God’s Wisdom Is Revealed by the Spirit, Not Human Understanding. Therefore, believe God; walk by the Spirit, not Worldly Wisdom.
