1 Corinthians 1:
The faithful God has called us into fellowship with his son, Jesus Christ and God will keep us strong to the end. There should be unity in mind and thought in the body of Christ. So have many denominations is a sin to God. The power of God is in the cross of Christ (death and resurrection). The message of the cross is foolishness to those that are perishing, but the power of God to the saved in Christ. The foolishness and weakness of God is wiser and stronger than that of humans. Let us boast of God only because God uses the foolish, weak, and lowly in the world to shame the wise, strong, and high of the world.
1 Corinthians 2:
Paul had no superior wisdom or eloquence, all he had was God, Jesus, and Jesus’ resurrection when he began. He was weak, had fear, and trembled when God’s Spirit worked through him so that faith is based on God and not humans (money, status, connections, affiliations, or power). We speak a message of mature wisdom which is not of the ruler or people of this age. A wisdom destined for our glory since the beginning of time that was revealed by God’s Spirit only to those with faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus. Only the God’s Spirit searches and understands God, and only those who have the Spirit of God by faith understands spiritual truths in spiritual words. Without God’s Spirit, the spiritual truths and words are meaningless, but the one with God’s Spirit is not judged by any human.
1 Corinthians 3:
Only worldly people have envy and jealousy, which makes them unsuitable for God’s matured words. We in the faith in Jesus are mere servants of God who are merely planning and watering the seed of God (Jesus), but it is God that makes it grow. Jesus’ Followers are all workers or servants in the field or vineyard of God (people the earth). Jesus is the foundation of the building we build upon. We are to build well because our work will be tested by fire. The work that survives the fire will be rewarded and the one that suffer loss will only be saved luckily (those without faith in Jesus do not build at all). Christians are sacred temples of God and God will destroy anyone that messes with us. It is better to be a fool in worldly wisdom because the wisdom of this age is nonsense in God’s eyes. Everything belongs to those who are in Jesus Christ, even life and death, and Jesus Christ is of God.
