WISDOM AND TRUTH
Without seeking wisdom from God; truth can become an illusion.
What
is wisdom? Wisdom is the knowledge of what is true. Wisdom is being
able to discern the truth and properly putting that knowledge into
action.
YOU HAVE TO SEEK GOD'S WISDOM
James
1:5-8 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all
generously and without reproach, and it will given to him. 6 But he
must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like
the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that man ought
not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8 being a
double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
Without
God's wisdom it is difficult, sometimes impossible , to understand
even basic passages of Scripture. An example being: Mark 16:16 He who
has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has
disbelieved shall be condemned.
Many
find (Mark 16:16) troubling and hard to understand; because Jesus said
"he who has disbelieved shall be condemned." Some think that would void
the requirement of water baptism in order to be saved.
If
your doctor informs you that if you rest in bed and take antibiotics
you will live, but if you do not rest in bed you will die. IS YOUR DOCTOR SAYING THAT TAKING ANTIBIOTICS IS NOT ESSENTIAL FOR YOU TO LIVE? Of course not, and Jesus is not saying baptism is not essential to be saved.
WITHOUT SEEKING GOD'S WISDOM, MEN HAVE A TENDENCY TO BELIEVE THEY ARE SMARTER THAN GOD.
Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
WISDOM IS THE GATEWAY TO THE TRUTH!
