About this listen

Key Points:

  • The wisdom and power of the world exalts self-sufficiency, worldly wisdom, impressive power, and freedom to do whatever we want.
  • The wisdom and power of the gospel is Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.
  • Living according to the wisdom and power of the cross is mutually exclusive with living according to the wisdom and power of the world.
  • Being made righteous in Christ is mutually exclusive with earning a right relationship with God.
  • Receiving the gift of holiness (ie. transformation) in Christ is mutually exclusive with pursuing self-centered happiness.
  • Receiving the gift of redemption in Christ is mutually exclusive with slavery to the familiar bonds of sin and its consequences.

Scriptures:

  • 1 Corinthians 1:26 - 2:6
  • Romans 3:21-25
  • Romans 8:1-4, 10-11, 28
