“Nonsense Or God’s Wisdom?”

 “Nonsense Or God’s Wisdom?”

 

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.  As the Scriptures say, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and discard the intelligence of the intelligent.”  1 Corinthians 1:18-19

 

God in His INFINITE WISDOM has WISELY brought into existence the fact that mankind could NOT know Him by HUMAN WISDOM.  By allowing them to come to Him by their OWN wisdom, would EXALT them, so God planned  to save SINNERS through the PREACHING of the MESSAGE of the CROSS of JESUS CHRIST, who SUFFERED, BLED, DIED and then RESURRECTED from DEATH and the GRAVE to bring SALVATION to mankind by the PREACHING of  the MESSAGE of the CROSS, which to the WORLDLY WISE,  the message was so simple that it was FOOLISH.

 

But to those who are BEING SAVED it is the VERY POWER of GOD.  God in His WISDOM has made the wisdom of this world look FOOLISH.  The MESSAGE is FOOLISH to the JEWS who ask for SIGNS from heaven. And it is FOOLISH to the GENTILES, who seek HUMAN WISDOM.  And when the MESSAGE is PREACHED that CHRIST was CRUCIFIED, the JEWS are OFFENDED and the GENTILES say its ALL NONSENSE.  (V22,23) 

 

But to those who are CALLED by God to SALVATION, both JEWS and GENTILES, Christ is the POWER of GOD and the WISDOM of GOD.  This FOOLISH PLAN of God is WISER than the WISEST of HUMAN plans, and GOD’S WEAKNESS is STRONGER than the GREATEST of HUMAN STRENGTH.  (Vv 24-25) 

 

So, the question that YOU MUST ask yourself is;  Do you BELIEVE that GOD’S PLAN for SALVATION is NONSENSE?  If you think that and have been REJECTING HIM, then YOU are headed for DESTRUCTION, and for an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  It is IMPOSSIBLE for you to get to HEAVEN by your OWN HUMAN WISDOM.   GOD may be CALLING you to COME to Him through His PLAN of SALVATION.  In order to RECEIVE an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS, you MUST COME by JESUS CHRIST, and you do that by ADMITTING that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, who GAVE His LIFE to SAVE your LIFE.  And you MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him, and ask for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  Then ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION, and TRUST in GOD’S WISDOM for your ETERNITY.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!!
