GOD’S WISDOM IS FOREVER

 

GOD’S WISDOM IS FOREVER For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; and the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.” 1 Corinthians 1:19 This verse may sound like a warning to the worldly-wise, but to Christian believers it’s a beautiful promise. When God steps in, He clears away the false ideas of human wisdom and “modern thought.” We don’t need to fight against the wisdom of the world. God Himself says, “I will destroy their false wisdom,” and He never makes a promise in vain. Twice in this verse, He declares His purpose, and we can be sure He will carry it out. Those who think they are wise are constantly trying to destroy the faith of humble believers, but God says their arguments will collapse, their theories crumble, and they will kneel before God. Human wisdom does not endure beyond this life. The old Gospel is still standing and will continue to stand as long as the LORD lives. If it could have been destroyed, it would have disappeared long ago. We demolish arguments and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5 By Charles H. Spurgeon, edited.
