Five Kinds of Fools

  

Richard Mayhue notes that Scripture identifies five kinds of fools.

1. The fool who rejects God (Pss 14:1; 53:1)

2. The fool who rejects the cross of Christ (1 Cor 1:18)

3. The fool who disobeys God’s Word with respect to salvation (Matt 7:26–27)

4. The fool who fails to believe all of God’s Word (Luke 24:25)

5. The “fool” who lives wholeheartedly for Christ’s sake (1 Cor 4:10).

What kind of fool are you?
