The “means” of God's ability; that our faith should not stand in “the wisdom of men” but in the power of God.
[Pastor; 1 Cor 2:5]
Preaching is the antithesis/direct oposite, constrast/setting against “the wisdom of man;” where irreconcilable opposites, or strongly constrasting ideas {ie.the lie vs the truth}, are placed in sharp “side-by-side” comparison with sustained tension/enmity ...by “the oral and audible release of (the word) of God.”
[Pastor; 1 Cor 2:4]
The underlying “operative” principle/logic/pattern of creation is that God is doing what He says, as He says it: He is “a doer” of His own word. Jesus said, “the words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself: but the Father that dwelleth IN Me, He doeth the works.”
[Pastor; Jas 1:23-25; Jn 14:10]
“Sin” made us “sight conscious,” when we were created to “live by His voice;” so we can (and will) say Amen! and, against hope (yet) believe in hope (unto salvation, for righteousness' sake).
[Pastor; Deu 8:3; Rom 4:18-22]
“And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham ...”
[Gal 3:8]
