GOD'S WISDOM IS HIDDEN FROM THE DEVIL AND THE WORLD
INTRODUCTION
1 Corinthians 2:6-9 emphasizes the difference between the temporary wisdom of the world and the true wisdom of God, which is hidden but nevertheless available to believers.
CONTENT
The key points of God's wisdom for believers (1 Corinthians 2:6-9):
True wisdom is not the same as worldly wisdom (1 Corinthians 2:6-7).
Paul teaches true wisdom, not the wisdom of this world or of the rulers of this world, who will perish. True wisdom comes from God, is hidden, and was given before the foundation of the world for our glory.
The ignorance of the rulers of this world (1 Corinthians 2:8)
The rulers of this world do not acknowledge God's wisdom. This is evident from the fact that they have crucified the glorious Lord. Human wisdom is often contrary to God's will.
God's wonderful promise (1 Corinthians 2:9)
"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
This is a promise of blessing, understanding, and a glorious plan that transcends human comprehension.
CONCLUSION
God’s wisdom/ true wisdom is found through the Holy Spirit, not through worldly intelligence, but it brings believers to an understanding of true salvation in Jesus Christ.
