(1 Cor 2:20 “For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.”  I have spent time with many intelligent people, but have been come away blessed the most by those who knew the Word of God.

(1Co 2:1) “And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.”  The wisdom of God is not men’s musings, but the Words of Scripture. The ability to reach the heart of another is not our thoughts and insights, but the Word of God itself, the same Word the Lord quoted when facing Satan.

(1Co 1:30) “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: (31) That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.” It reveals how fleshly we really are when we give men the glory for what God has done. Truth is, we do not focus on the Lord as we should nor give Him the praise we should.

(1Co 1:30) “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:”  Jesus purchased our salvation with His Own blood, “the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot”. Allowyour heart to ponder this  and praise our Lord Jesus Christ!

(1Co 1:30) “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:”  “Sanctification”: setting apart unto God as holy. Jesus has set apart children unto God born spiritually and thus made different from the lost. The desires of the saved are to please the Lord before self; the desire of the lost is to please self before the things of God.

(1Co 1:30) “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:”  Jesus is made us to “righteousness”, which is referring to our position “in Christ” in order to be saved, since everyone has sin negating (James 2:10) their own righteousness: (Php_3:9)  “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:”  

WATER  (1Co 1:30) “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:”  After fifty years of the reading of Scripture, I are more and more amazed at the deep plan (wisdom) of our salvation.

(1Co 1:30) “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:” God Who taught oneness in marriage, sees the saved as one with His Son – “are ye in Christ Jesus”.

(1Co 1:29) “That no flesh should glory in his presence.”  Oh how corrupt this old flesh is to even begin to think it can add anything to the sacrifice of the humble, giving, healing, saving blood of the Lord Jesus!

(1Co 1:28) “And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:” “Things which are not” – in other words, things promised by God rather than things one can see: (Rom_8:24)  “For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?”  It is not human strength nor prestige, but faith in He Who has promised, that saves.
