1 Corinthians 2
When I preached the Good News about Jesus to you, I did not use fancy words or long speeches to try to impress you. I brought the simple message about Jesus dying on the Cross to save us from our sins. This is all any of us need to know.
I was actually quite nervous when I came to speak to you, knowing that it is a simple message, but God convinced you of the truth of this message by showing you the power of the Holy Spirit.
God’s plan to save the world was set up before the world was even created.
The rulers of this world had no idea about this plan. Even the prophets of God from long ago did not understand it fully. But now God has shown us clearly His wonderful plan to save us.
For those of you who have given your life to Jesus, God has prepared amazing blessings, more than you could even imagine.
God reveals His love and His great plan of salvation to us through the Holy Spirit.
Only people who have accepted Jesus and been filled with the Holy Spirit are able to understand God’s plan. To worldly people, it sounds like nonsense, but you understand the truth.
Just as the Spirit of each person knows that person intimately, so the Holy Spirit knows God intimately and completely.
