P1_Ch02_God's Wisdom for Human Salvation

Regarding Jesus Christ and the Message of the Cross Preached by Paul“And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:1-2).When Paul reached Corinth, he proclaimed like this: “For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” This was not a simplification of the gospel. The expression “the cross of Christ” encompasses the entire redemption ministry of Jesus. That is, it speaks of the faith believing in the Savior Jesus who had the sins of the world passed onto Him through the ministry of receiving baptism from John, was crucified to receive the judgment of sins, and resurrected from the dead. Paul does not package the gospel word of the water and the Spirit with human philosophy or religious knowledge. Because the message of the cross that Paul preaches is testified as the gospel that gives salvation to those who believe, by removing the sins of all humanity through the ministry of Jesus receiving baptism from John to have the sins of the world passed onto Him, and receiving the judgment of sins on the cross. https://www.bjnewlife.org/https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMissionhttps://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35
