Shalom,

When Paul went to the Corinthians, he proclaimed the Gospel message of Salvation through Jesus Christ and God confirmed that message with signs, wonders and miracles, just as He did with the first disciples (Mark 16:20) and as He does now through our missionary partners around the world who do the same! How do I know this? Look at 1 Corinthians 2:1-2 and 4-5:

1 As for myself, brethren, when I came to you, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony and evidence or mystery and secret of God [concerning what He has done through Christ for the salvation of men] in lofty words of eloquence or human philosophy and wisdom;² For I resolved to know nothing (to be acquainted with nothing, to make a display of the knowledge of nothing, and to be conscious of nothing) among you except Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and Him crucified.

⁴ And my language and my message were not set forth in persuasive (enticing and plausible) words of wisdom, but they were in demonstration of the [Holy] Spirit and power [a proof by the Spirit and power of God, operating on me and stirring in the minds of my hearers the most holy emotions and thus persuading them], ⁵ So that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men (human philosophy), but in the power of God. AMP

THIS is the same message that WE are to be bringing to the lost! We are not supposed to try to teach them the deeper things of the Word of God. People who have not yet received Jesus as Lord and personal Savior cannot even understand the Word yet, other than the simple and powerful Gospel! Look at verses 13-14:

¹³ And we are setting these truths forth in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the [Holy] Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual truths with spiritual language [to those who possess the Holy Spirit]. ¹⁴ But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated. AMP

As born again believers get themselves into a good Bible teaching church, THEN they can begin to be taught the Word of God and grow in the Word and the Word can grow in them! THESE are the people that Paul is speaking of in verses 6-10:

⁶ Yet when we are among the full-grown (spiritually mature Christians who are ripe in understanding), we do impart a [higher] wisdom (the knowledge of the divine plan previously hidden); but it is indeed not a wisdom of this present age or of this world nor of the leaders and rulers of this age, who are being brought to nothing and are doomed to pass away. ⁷ But rather what we are setting forth is a wisdom of God once hidden [from the human understanding] and now revealed to us by God—[that wisdom] which God devised and decreed before the ages for our glorification [to lift us into the glory of His presence]. ⁸ None of the rulers of this age or world perceived and recognized and understood this, for if they had, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory. ⁹ But, on the contrary, as the Scripture says, What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed]. ¹⁰ Yet to us God has unveiled and revealed them by and through His Spirit, for the [Holy] Spirit searches diligently, exploring and examining everything, even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God [the divine counsels and things hidden and beyond man’s scrutiny]. AMP

God wants us to become those who DO know and understand Him and His Ways through His Word! The choice, however, is ours to make, each and every day! Please do NOT become as those Paul  speaks of  whom he could NOT teach anything beyond the simple milk of the Word the Gospel of Salvation (1 Corinthians 3:2)! Be a diligent hearer AND doer of the Word, beginning with the simple Gospel, and then and grow thereby (1 Peter 2:2)! YOU will become a powerful force for good in the lives of everyone around you when you do so! AMEN! Here is Hillsong United with "Children Of The Light" - OUR calling!
