As Paul has previously stated, wisdom is the understanding of the gospel message of Christ’s death and resurrection. Those who are mature in their faith are those who have fully embraced this message. It is only through the guidance of the Holy Spirit that we can come to a true understanding of this wisdom. Logical arguments or persuasion will never be enough to fully convince others to believe the gospel; it is a message that must be revealed to us by the Spirit. In addition to belief in Christ, this wisdom also encompasses the practical implications of that belief and how we should live as a community of believers, following in the footsteps of a crucified Christ. Ultimately, the Holy Spirit grants us the wisdom not only to come to a knowledge of salvation, but also to live as those who have been saved.

  • Walking in wisdom will require you trusting God more than you trust yourself. (vs. 7-9) 
  • The source of God’s wisdom is God’s Spirit. (vs.10) 
  • James 1:5: “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” 
  • Wisdom from the Spirit is in line with God’s Word. (Titus 1:2) 
  • Wisdom from the Spirit will display God’s character. (Galatians 5:22-3)
