(1Co 2:6) “Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:”  “Them that are perfect” speaks of our standing “in Christ Jesus”. Philippians speaks of both our standing and reality in flesh: standing (Php_3:15  Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.); reality (Php_3:12  Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.).

(1Co 2:4) “And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: (5) That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” The power of the gospel is to transform lives. When the Lord saves us, our spirits are made alive and a divine nature is imparted. That nature makes our desires different from the lost.

(1Co 2:3) “And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.” Few of God’s men were spiritually greater than Paul; yet, Paul’s strength was not physical nor stoic regarding the dangerous actions of sinful man. Still, it did not deter his faithfulness to His Savior!

(1 Cor 2:20 “For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.”   If one can keep this ever forefront in the mind, it would keep us from many a selfish and self-centered sin. Instead it would help us to seek to live: “Help me to give my life as He gave His for mine.”

(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:”
