Why is the gospel described as wisdom in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The gospel is termed wisdom because it reveals God's plan of salvation that honors His attributes, especially justice and mercy.

Biblically, the gospel is referred to as wisdom because it articulates God's redemptive plan, which reconciles His love and justice. As seen in 1 Corinthians 1:25, the wisdom of God in the gospel confounds worldly expectations, focusing on Christ's sacrificial death as the means of securing salvation for sinners. This is a wisdom that is spiritually discerned, revealing how God can satisfy His justice while offering grace, thus glorifying Him above all.
