All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
It is not that Jesus is Wise...
I believe to help us mature in Christ, we need to see things as they really are. It is not difficult to think that Jesus is wise, yet we need to see Him as Wisdom Itself. If we give the enemy a tool, it will use it against us. Here is a thought to prevent that. Along the line of, just seeing ice float on the ocean is one thing, having a knowledge about icebergs something else.

It is not that Jesus is Wise. It is that Jesus is Wisdom Itself. God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made Him to be Wisdom Itself. Christ made us Right with God; He made us Pure and Holy, and He freed us from sin. 1Cor 1:30 We are Righteous through Christ. God has made us Pure and Holy, from our Relationship with Jesus. Yes, we are washed clean by His Blood, yet more than that. We are no longer slaves to sin. The enemy has no hold or claim to us, because of our Relationship with Christ Jesus. Jesus tells us, “Yet when the Spirit of Truth comes, He will guide you into all Truth. He will not speak on His own accord, but will speak whatever He hears and will declare to you the things that are to come.” John 16:13 We gain Truth, Knowledge, Wisdom, clear Understanding of The Father’s Will, without the shackles of pride and arrogance. Since we gain all this from our Relationship to our Lord and Saviour, one child has no right to feel superior over another. In a situation that could cause division; in a circumstance that the enemy would try and separate parts of The Body of Christ, with mature children of God, the enemy has no foothold. The enemy will attempt to use pride against insecurity, in the thoughts of the immature christian. Sadly, division in The Body happen often, based on these types of scenarios. Still, we are able to Praise the Lord when this takes place. Because, God has the very tool to set things right, humility. When the child or children of God, allow themselves to be puffed up with pride, based on what He has given them. Gifts, Wisdom, Understanding, etc., that we are given to be used, for the entire Body to be built up. When these things are used to divide and not used in Love, well, you know someone is about to get humbled. All Praise and Glory to Jesus. So let us not be tricked or lead astray. Let us share what we are given, and grow together as One Body.

I know once again I did not frame this the best way for a discussion. Yet, I believe it is important for us to see all that is given to us in Christ Jesus. We so often want to make wise decisions in our lives. When we understand Jesus is Wisdom, making wise choices is linked more to obedience than "hoping for the best" in taking a path. Another version of 1Cor 1:30 You are partners with Christ Jesus because of God. Jesus has become our Wisdom sent from God, our Righteousness, our Holiness, and our ransom from sin. We know our relationship with Jesus changes us Completely. We know God is Love. We have come to know and rely on the Love that God has for us. God is Love, and the person who abides in Love abides in God, and God abides in him. 1John 4:16 In 1Cor 1:30 we see some of the Great Benefits we gain, as He Expresses His Love for us. They go to the very core of who we are and need to be, in Christ Jesus. I believe we must know and hold on to them, and again see them as they really are.

What I am working at sharing is, since we have Jesus inside of us, we have Holy Spirit inside of us. We have such a powerful connection to Wisdom, since Jesus is Wisdom itself." God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made Him to be Wisdom Itself." The Wonderful thing is it does not stop there. As we learn to operate in The Spirit, “Yet when the Spirit of Truth comes, He will guide you into all Truth..." As we yield and humble who and what we are, to His Love, to Wisdom, to Truth, and list goes on. Our Understanding and Knowledge are on their way to be complete. The ability to operate in Wisdom and Truth are Powerful Tools the enemy would rather we not have them. By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. 2Peter 1:3 If, we had no other verse, this verse contains much for our Faith to be built upon.

Awesome topic, my brother!
Wisdom was with Christ as He created the universe and all it contains. Yet, Holy Spirit gives us wisdom along with understanding as we walk with Christ. There is more than enough to go around. It starts with us believing on and in Christ. It stays with us through our walk through God's Word. It serves us as we live in a day to day world. We never can have too much.
The most important action regarding wisdom, is to allow it to work. We frequently do not do that. We lock it in a closet so we don't lose it...and lo and behold...we lose it! We must keep it with us at all times.
Keeping it with us keeps Christ, Holy Spirit, Father working in us.
Keeping the Bible as our main instruction book keeps wisdom ever present in our lives. Without it, we can not live for the Lord.
Man's wisdom, apart from God, is not wisdom at all....yet God's wisdom covers all things. We have the right to use it freely.
Awesome, awesome topic!
Blessings.....

But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere. James 3:17
So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. Rom 8:6
Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. Gal 6:8
And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God's own will. Rom 8:27
Are these things not what we craving and searching for? Wisdom, Peace, Obedience, Holiness in Him. To be lead by The Spirit, and walk into All The Father has for us, are not these things what we should be seeking?
