KEYS TO A WISE LIFE

"According to the Bible, God is the primary source of all wisdom, since his teachings "are the source of wisdom, and it teaches us to obey his eternal commandments" (Ecclesiastical, I: 5). Furthermore, God is omniscient: he knows everything, he knows everything, and only in him are all the secrets of wisdom".

In the world there are many kinds of wisdom and they are really necessary in many aspects as a social being but none is compared with the wisdom that God grants because the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God

For this reason, the advice is to put on the new knowledge, which according to the image of the one who created it is being renewed until full knowledge,

1 CORINTHIANS 3:19
Because in the eyes of God the wisdom of this world is madness. As it is written: "He catches the wise in his own cunning";
NIV

In this sense the bible declares earthly wisdom as arrogant, cunning and sophisticated and many times this wisdom is confronted by God because of so much pride of man towards it, ignoring God, because they become wise in his own opinion. However, the wisdom of God makes a difference in the world because it is contrary

James 3:17
On the other hand, the wisdom that descends from heaven is above all pure, and also peaceful, kind, docile, full of compassion and good fruits, impartial and sincere.
(RVR1960)

James describes the wisdom of God as a moral and constant practice in the Christian, not as a theoretical knowledge but as actions manifested in the life of each believer

It is important to remember that one of the keys to finding the wisdom of God is to understand that judgment comes because of our sins since it is people who decide to reject God

Disobeying the word of God is a hostile tendency towards the word of God and this is present in the person who lives only to please the flesh, instead the person who acquires wisdom from God lives pleasing the things of the spirit and understands that belittling the God is an act of arrogance and not of humility

Another important key is to recognize that love is an indispensable requirement to obtain the wisdom of God since when walking with God love must be present in the heart of the believer because to ignore the love of neighbor is rebellion against God.

The humble person recognizes God as his creator and understands that he must walk with him because he is weak and only through the wisdom of God can he walk the path established with correct and firm decisions

God is the main source of all wisdom therefore when God is not included in your life the wisdom you get is foolishness for God
