P2_Ch11_The Mystery of the Gospel Revealed to the Righteous

With the Gospel of Water and the Spirit, Not with the Wisdom of WordsThe Apostle Paul tells us about the situation when he preached the gospel in the city of Corinth, and how he preached the gospel to that church. He records that when he testified the gospel of Jesus Christ to the souls in Corinth, he did not do it with fluent speech or human wisdom. The Apostle Paul was a man who received the highest education of his time. He was a man who learned under Gamaliel, the greatest teacher of the Law. He was a man well-versed in all fields, including world history, politics, philosophy, and literature, as well as the Law. If the Apostle Paul had wanted to preach the gospel with words of human wisdom, he would not have lacked anything even if he debated with Greek philosophers. However, he declares that he did not do it with fluent speech or human wisdom.When Paul went to Athens, seeing that the people there offered sacrifices to an unknown god, there was a time when he preached the word very fluently in a philosophical way. However, looking back on himself later, he said that there was no fruit gained from preaching to them with learned words. From then on, he determined never to boast of anything else again except the baptism Jesus received from John and His crucifixion. https://www.bjnewlife.org/https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMissionhttps://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35
