Introduction
How can we make sense of the gospel?
We understand the gospel through divine revelation.
When Paul talks about the “mature” he is not speaking about a higher level Christian.
The bible teaches that you are either a saint or you aint.
1 Corinthians 2:6–8 (ESV)
6 Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away.
7 But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory.
8 None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
We don’t understand the gospel because intelligence.
You don’t reason your way to understand the gospel.
We don’t understand the gospel through research.
We don’t understand the gospel through natural means.
The gospel is a supernatural message to be understood by a supernatural means.
1 Corinthians 2:10–11 (ESV)
10 these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit.
For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.
11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him?
So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
We understand the gospel by the revelation of God.
1 Corinthians 2:10 (ESV)
10 these things God has revealed to us ...
We understand the gospel by the illumination of the Spirit.
Apart from the Spirit of God you cannot understand the gospel.
