How do we know God's wisdom is greater than human wisdom?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God's wisdom transcends human understanding and often appears foolish to the world (1 Corinthians 1:25).

The disparity between human and divine wisdom is articulated clearly in 1 Corinthians 1:25, where Paul states, 'the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.' Here, Paul points out that human wisdom is limited to carnal, finite understanding, while God's wisdom is profound and transcends our comprehension. In the context of the Apostle Paul's writing, he emphasizes that the wisdom of man cannot discern the things of God without divine revelation. The contrast between worldly wisdom and God's wisdom serves as a reminder that true understanding comes not from human intellect but through the revelation imparted by the Holy Spirit, in accordance with the historic Reformed belief that all truth must align with scripture.
