Wisdom unto Salvation

Sep17

For wisdom is protection just as money is protection, But the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the lives of its possessors.
Ecclesiastes 7:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/ecc.7.12.NASB1995

Both wisdom and money can protect  you in life but you can’t buy yourself into eternal life. Wisdom leads you to real life, salvation found in Jesus Christ.

and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 3:15 NASB1995

Earthly Wisdom

Aug4

But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural (unspiritual), demonic.
James 3:14-15 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.3.14-15.NASB1995

But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,
1 Timothy 4:1 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1ti.4.1.NASB1995

In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts. These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit.
Jude 1:18b-19 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jud.1.18-19.NASB1995

God will render to each person according to his deeds: to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation.
Romans 2:6,8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.2.6-8.NASB1995

Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away;
the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;
1 Corinthians 2:6, 8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1co.2.6-8.NASB1995

🌹For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing.
James 3:16 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.3.16.NASB1995

Reminder: the attributes of godly wisdom from above are . . .
first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.

Attributes of Wisdom

Jul31

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.
James 3:17 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.3.17.NASB1995

These attributes of wisdom sound vaguely familiar to the fruit of the Spirit, don’t they? Another affirmation that wisdom is from God through His Holy Spirit living in us.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.5.22-23.NASB1995

🌹And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

The Gentleness of Wisdom

Jul30

Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.
James 3:13 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.3.13.NASB1995

Gentleness of wisdom is humbleness in serving, teaching, mentoring, living – in all we do. We are not to boast of the wisdom we have because wisdom is from God Himself.

For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs 2:6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.2.6.NASB1995

🌹But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
James 1:5 NASB1995
