Paul reminds us that God’s wisdom often looks like foolishness to the world, but it is through this “foolish” message—the cross—that God displays His power, humbles human pride, and calls us to boast only in Christ.

HEART CHECK QUESTIONS

  • Do you look to your own wisdom or to the wisdom of God?

  • Are you trying to add anything to your salvation? 

  • Are you trying to be sanctified by your own standards? Your own strength?

  • What does adding human wisdom (philosophy/works) to the gospel show about your trust and faith in Christ?

  • What do you need to consider about your calling (vs26-28).

  • What areas do you think more highly of yourself than you ought?

  • Do you look down on others who you deem beneath you, people you believe God could never save? How is this a distorted view of who you were before Christ?
