CHRISTIANS AND WISDOM
Both the Bible and real life affirm that wisdom is important and necessary for human life. For Christians, wisdom is even more important because:
1. Thanks to wisdom, God’s children can glorify God and testify about God to non-believers in the most effective way.
2. In addition, wisdom also helps Christians understand the devil’s tricks so that they can protect themselves and overcome temptations, standing firm in faith to be saved when Jesus Christ returns.
3. Wisdom also helps Christians to live a life of peace, joy, contentment and to endure trials in all circumstances.
The three things mentioned above are the basic benefits of wisdom, therefore Christians need to seek wisdom wholeheartedly for their own benefit and it is also what God wants His children to achieve, especially in the last days that we are living in, as it is written in…
PROVERBS 4: 7 – Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom, and use all that you have to get understanding.
1 PETER 4:7 – The end of all things is near; therefore be wise and watchful to pray.
We Christians believe in God and follow God because we want to live in Heaven in the future. But to get there, each person must be worthy of God’s standards, one of which is to testify well about God to everyone in this world, so that they can know that God is real, and Christians are His true children, that is, children of Light, children of Wisdom. Therefore, Christians need to seek wisdom for themselves to be considered worthy of God’s Heaven in the future.
However, reality shows that people often confuse wisdom with knowledge. People think that when a person has a high degree, has many achievements or has an important position in society, that person must be wiser than others. But the truth of God in the Bible and events that happen in life show that this view is completely wrong.
In the news section of this website, we will continue to post cases in which people with high degrees and good positions in society perform actions that are completely contrary to wisdom, so that readers can see that knowledge and wisdom are two different things.
For ease of understanding, we summarize knowledge and wisdom like this: Knowledge is what helps a person know how to do this or that (called professional skills) such as knowledge about repairing cars, building houses, cooking, or knowledge about medicine (doctor), law (lawyer), and computers (engineer). But wisdom is knowing how to live the best life for oneself, that is, knowing how to live to please God and be a good example for everyone to be rewarded both in this life and the next. Therefore, wisdom is very necessary for the life of a Christian both spiritually and physically.
Wisdom is not only different from knowledge, but is also divided into two types of wisdom, the first is heavenly wisdom and the second is worldly wisdom. The Word of God in the Bible tells us about the characteristics of wisdom that comes from above, as written in…
JAMES 3:17 – But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
For example:
From ancient times to the present, many people have used the Bible to deceive Christians. They may be outsiders or they may be false Christians. In the past, the devil misquoted the Bible to tempt Jesus Christ, and today those under his influence also misquote the Bible to lead God’s people astray or to believe in their evil schemes.
The Democrats have cited the Bible in Matthew 25:34-40 to argue that their visitation of criminal illegals in prison is following the example of Jesus Christ, and their sheltering of illegal immigrants is also following the example of Jesus Christ.
Citing the Bible to reason like that is wrong and even blasphemous to Jesus Christ. Their citing the Bible like that to lure God’s people to believe in their actions is sinister and diabolical. The difference is this:
Jesus Christ intended that Christians should visit those who are unjustly imprisoned or persecuted for their faith in God. He never intended that Christians should visit murderers, child rapists, women beaters, or those who deliberately break the law for personal gain.
The most remarkable words are the words ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF MINE, you did for me’. The brothers and sisters of the Lord are those who have faith and do good deeds but are falsely accused and imprisoned for their faith in the Lord, not the wicked who commit criminal offenses.
It is a deliberate and diabolical attempt by Democratic politicians to cite the Bible to justify their cover-up of criminals. It shows the evil viciousness of their nature. What they do is the same as what Satan did in the past, as recorded in Matthew 4:1-11, that is, they misuse the Bible to lure Christians into following their deceitful political schemes.
The devil and his followers know that Christians treasure the Bible very much, so they often quote God’s words to make it seem like they also belong to God, but in fact they want to deceive Christians and lead Christians to follow their sinful path.
Therefore, when Christians have a good understanding of the Bible and know how to use the method of comparing and contrasting Bible verses with each other, we will clearly see who is honest and who is evil in this life, regardless of how well they speak or how well they can persuade others. Christians are able to discern the true nature of others by using the Bible as a measure of people’s actions, gestures, thoughts, and words.
When Jesus Christ taught Christians that Let no man deceive you, He also gave Christians the method and tool to discern truth from falsehood. That is to use the Bible as the standard and measure of everyone’s heart, because the Word of God has affirmed that the Bible is the source of light that enables Christians to walk safely and peacefully in this dark world, as it is written in…
PSALM 119: 105 – Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
Likewise, when Democrats call their cities and states sanctuary cities or sanctuary states to make it appear that they are following God’s humanitarian principles as recorded in the Bible, it is actually a blatant deception by those under the influence of the devil.
That is because in the Bible, God’s word says that cities of refuge are only used to protect accidental murderers, not to protect those who are intentionally breaking the law, smuggling drugs, murdering people, raping women, trafficking and torturing children.
NUMBERS 35: 11 – Select some towns to be your cities of refuge, to which a person who has killed someone accidentally may flee.
Furthermore, the word of God also states that even if an accidental murderer is able to hide in the cities of refuge, he will still have to face trial in court, as stated in…
NUMBERS 35: 12 – They will be places of refuge from the avenger, so that anyone accused of murder may not die before they stand trial before the assembly.
But the Democrats do the exact opposite, using sanctuary cities to help willful criminals escape prosecution and even to condone their continued and greater crimes. Using the Bible in such a perverse way to cover up their evil intentions and schemes is the work of the devil.
When Democrats use the Bible in this way to cover up their plans to destroy society and deliberately endanger the lives of innocent people, it shows that they are sinister and Christians need to stay far away from them so that children of God do not directly participate in and become implicated in their blasphemy by misusing the word of God for their personal plots and devious political schemes.
