I Corinthians 1:18
The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.
The Power of God is not
- Human Words – V 17 For Christ didn’t send me to baptize, but to preach the Good News—and not with clever speech
- Human Knowledge – V20 So where does this leave the philosophers, the scholars, and the world’s brilliant debaters? God has made the wisdom of this world look foolish.
- Signs- V22 It is foolish to the Jews, who ask for signs from heaven.
- Human Plans – V25 This foolish plan of God is wiser than the wisest of human plans,
- Human Strength- V25 and God’s weakness is stronger than the greatest of human strength
The Power of God is VS 30-31 – Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin. 31 boast only about the Lord.”
- Made right by Christ
- Able to let us be:
- Pure
- Holy
- Free
