God's Secret Wisdom

Do you know God's secret wisdom? The Bible says you can't know it unless the Spirit of God reveals it to you (1 Corinthians 2). It doesn't matter how intelligent you are or how religious you are, you just can't work it out unless God's Spirit gives you understanding. The Apostle Paul says this in 1 Corinthians 2:14: The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

What is this secret wisdom? Paul tells us a few verses earlier in v2: "I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified." Jesus crucifixion is the secret wisdom of God which is at the core of the Christian message.

OK you've heard of the crucifixion of Christ .... but do you really know what it means? What its significance is for you personally? The first thing you'll need to do if you really want to find out is to pray to God and to ask Him for Spiritual understanding. You won't 'crack the code' of meaning unless God's Spirit allows you to.

And for Christians who want to tell God's gospel to others you will need to make sure that the message of the Cross is at the core of what you tell people. You should also be praying that God's Spirit makes the message of the Cross clear to the hearer.
