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.
