1 Corinthians 1-2

Beginning in 2:13 Paul explains a vital truth in reaching the world. Christian revelation makes no sense to non-Christians. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't share the Gospel with unbelievers. The mysterious divine power that is conveyed through the spiritual truths of the Gospel will benefit believers. But I think that they will also strike a chord of recognition in the hearts of pagans. The comprehension will be missing but a foothold will be established. The taste will be pleasing to some but there will be no digestion. Yet in that sliver of connection when a heathen actually listens to the Gospel God will create faith that can eventually lead to salvation. That is why we should preach the Gospel.
