NOT AFTER MAN

"But I certify you, brethren, that the Gospel which was preached of me is not after man (Gal_1:11).

The Gospel is not after man’s wisdom, for it is foolishness to the worldly-wise. It is not after man’s affections; the carnal mind is enmity against it Seeing then that the Gospel is contrary to the mind and will of man, it could not be evolved out of the inner consciousness of man. It is not of man, neither can it be of the Devil, who hates it unto death. It is of God. This truth was burnt into the very bones of Paul’s moral nature, and should burn in the bones of every Christian-born, not of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. The Gospel is supernatural and Divine, therefore doth the natural man despise it. To them that believe it is the power of God.
