Why is the preaching of the cross considered the power of God?

Answered in 1 source

The preaching of the cross is considered the power of God because it reveals God’s plan of salvation through Christ's sacrifice for believers.

In 1 Corinthians 1:18, the apostle Paul begins by stating that the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to those who are being saved, it is the very power of God. This section emphasizes how God's method of salvation contrasts with human wisdom and strength. The cross represents Christ's sacrificial love, fulfilling God’s justice while offering grace to sinners. Through the message of the cross, believers experience transformation, as it is the means by which God accomplishes His saving work, activating faith in those who hear and trust in Christ's finished work.
