WISDOM FROM GOD. 1 Corinthians 1:20–25; 2:9–16 KJV What is the difference between knowledge and wisdom?
Knowledge is knowing information. Wisdom is knowing what to do with that information. Godly wisdom is seeing life from God’s perspective and responding according to His truth.
In this second session of Essentials for Christian Living, we discover that God’s wisdom stands in sharp contrast to the wisdom of this world. What fallen humanity may consider foolish, God uses to reveal His power and accomplish His purposes.
Paul reminds us that spiritual truth cannot be fully understood through human intellect alone. God has given believers His Holy Spirit, who reveals and teaches the things of God.
Believers have access to the wisdom of God because we have the Spirit of God.
This lesson challenges us to move beyond simply accumulating biblical information. God wants His truth to transform the way we think, make decisions, respond to circumstances, and live before others.The world offers information.
Human reasoning offers opinions.
But God’s Word, illuminated by God’s Spirit, gives us the wisdom we need to live the Christian life.
