The gospel is considered the wisdom of God because it reveals His plan for salvation through Christ.
The gospel encapsulates the wisdom of God by demonstrating how He reconciles sinners to Himself through Jesus Christ, who fulfills the demands of justice while extending grace. In 1 Corinthians 1:21, it states that the world, through wisdom, does not know God; thus God's wisdom is counter to human understanding. The gospel, which speaks of Christ's death and resurrection, is the ultimate expression of God's wisdom in action. By calling sinners to repent and believe in Him, God reveals that true wisdom acknowledges our inability to save ourselves and depends solely on His gracious provision. In doing so, believers find the true power and wisdom of God manifest in their lives.
