“ChristThe Wisdom Of God”

Reference: Proverbs Chapter 1

A believer is wise.

A man or woman is a light. The light is encapsulated by blood . Either by the blood of Adam or the blood of Christ.

What turns on the light is called faith or believing. What turns off the light is unbelief.

Faith (light turned on) in the Word of God allows the individual to be one with God. One light, one Word (Wisdom of God), one mind (mind of Christ).

The individual is no longer walking in the wisdom of Adam but the wisdom of God Which is Christ.

1 Corinthians 1:19-24 “For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. [20] Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? [21] For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. [22] For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: [23] But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; [24] But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.”

Christ is the wisdom of God.
When we become one with Jesus Christ by exiting the blood of Adam, like Christ, we become the wisdom of God. We have the mind of God, the mind of Christ.

Solomon directs men and women to seek Wisdom.

Let’s read:

Proverbs 1:1-7 “The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; [2] To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; [3] To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; [4] To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. [5] A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: [6] To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. [7] The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

Jesus Christ the Lord is the Wisdom of God. When we receive Jesus Christ the Lord, we have received Wisdom.
We receive Him by turning on our light of faith, and placing that light in His shed blood on the Cross, becoming one with Him in death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and Him now dwelling and reigning in us. Wisdom then reigns in us.

We continue our reading:

Proverbs 1:8-10 “My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: [9] For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. [10] My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.”

Unbelief is always the sin. If we believe, we will not sin. We sin because we believe not. If we believe the wages of sin is death, we will not sin.
The unbeliever is already condemned because they believe not.

John 3:18 “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

Unbelief turns off the light. The individual is already condemned (stuck in the blood of Adam). That’s the condemnation.

We conclude our reading:

Proverbs 1:11-33 “If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: [12] Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: [13] We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: [14] Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: [15] My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: [16] For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. [17] Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. [18] And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. [19] So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof. [20] Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: [21] She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, [22] How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? [23] Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. [24] Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; [25] But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: [26] I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; [27] When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. [28] Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: [29] For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: [30] They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. [31] Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. [32] For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. [33] But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.”

We hearken unto Wisdom (Christ) by believing (turning on the light of faith).

Turn on your light of faith. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Wisdom of God sd we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. The Word of God is Wisdom, in Christ!
