your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power

 1 Corinthians 2:1-16

For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling.

My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.

We declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

These are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.

In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.

The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.

Why?

Paul told us that what he preaches does not come from this world, but comes from the Holy Spirit. God's wisdom, a mystery, has been hidden and was destined for our glory from the beginning of time. None of the rulers of this age understood it.

The Spirit who is from God is not words taught us by human wisdom.

The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. So everyone could be chosen by the Lord is the work of the Holy Spirit.

How?

May my behavior and my personality, and my actions be a good witness in my working company and my surrounding friends.
