In these verses, God reminds us that we cannot have a relationship with God through our wisdom or our knowledge but through only the gospel, that is through His way, through His wisdom. However, God's wisdom is often misunderstood.
For nonbelievers, His wisdom is seen as a folly. For believers, we often drift away and forget to humble ourselves and fail to acknowledge the gospel is His powers. When believers read the bible, we may often lack the correct attitude in sincerely seeking God to transform us, but merely seeking knowledge or read out of responsibility.
Verse 21 reminds us that: For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.
For non-believers, you will not receive God's gift of salvation by your own wisdom, you will need to embark on a faith to believe in the gospel. For believers, you will not know Him through wisdom and your relationship with him will not grow. Have a humble heart to allow transformation to take place.
