Why does God choose the weak and foolish things?

Answered in 2 sources

God chooses the weak and foolish to confound the wise, illustrating that salvation is purely by His grace.

In 1 Corinthians 1, Paul points out that God deliberately chooses the weak and foolish things of the world to shame the wise and strong. This decision underlines the doctrine of sovereign grace that emphasizes humanity's need for divine intervention. In Ezekiel's message, Israel is depicted as a 'vine tree' that is worthless in itself, which exemplifies that God's choosing is not based on any merit or strength. This choice ensures that no one can boast in His presence, as salvation is solely an act of grace that brings glory to God alone.
