GOSPEL LIGHT #680

1 Cor. 1:24 ... Christ ... the wisdom of God How is the Lord Jesus Christ the wisdom of God? He is the wisdom of God because through Him God solved the greatest problem of all --- SIN. How, in the world, can God justify the ungodly and through it all remain just? The solution? God established the Lord Jesus Christ as the sinner's representative and substitute. He died for the sinner and He died as the sinner. He resurrected for him and as him. How is the Lord Jesus Christ the wisdom of God?

He created mankind with representative heads (Adam and Christ). That, though, man was condemned in Adam, he can also be redeemed through Christ. Man's folly says: "I can saved myself by my good works and good character. Nope. Trust in God's wisdom for your salvation. God's wisdom says that you can only be saved through the Lord Jesus Christ and His death on the cross.

Neither Too Bad Nor Too Good To Be Saved  
The absolute efficacy and necessity of Christ's atonement on the cross are shown in the fact that the worst of sinners could be saved by it and that the most moral of sinners cannot afford to be without it.

Do you think you are the worst of all sinners? Too bad to be saved? Christ's atonement is powerful enough to save you. Do you think that you are situated high up on the ladder of morality? Too good to need salvation? You can't be saved without it. Your morality will not do.

And we ought to love Him the same way. We ought to love Him more than we love our own selves. This can only be possible if the kind of love He has in Him is overflowing in our own hearts. 

Love like this is supernatural. It's beyond us. It is supernaturally imparted upon trusting in Him for salvation. 

Ro 5:5 and that this hope never disappoints, because God's love for us floods our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. WNT 

Joh 7:38 "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing (trusting) in Him would receive;
