Faith in Christ is foolishness to the natural man because the essence of the natural man is his love of self-determination and the sense of power and pride that come from it, while the essence of faith in Christ is to say, “God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of Christ.”
(The quote above is from a May 20, 1984, sermon titled "How the Spirit Helps Us Understand" by John Piper. © Desiring God. Website: desiringGod.org)
