Paul reiterates that salvation is only by God’s provision and there is no room for anyone

to boast.  God’s use of the cross, a symbol associated with degradation and rejection,

was to ensure that our faith is not to be relied on human intellect or ability.  Paul joyfully

contends that his preaching were not in his wisdom but in demonstration of God’s Spirit

and power.  What do you place your confidence in?  How much room do you create in

your life for God to demonstrate His Spirit and power?
