The Only Wise God”

Reference: Proverbs Chapter 4

Jude 1:25 “To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.”

Jesus Christ the only wise God our Savior.

1 Corinthians 2:6-8 “Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: [7] But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: [8] Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”

The blood of Jesus Christ (Adam) is the revealed wisdom of God.

Ephesians 3:9-11 “And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: [10] To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, [11] According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:”

This eternal purpose was the blood of Christ replacing the blood of Adam. It was life replacing death.

The writer of Proverbs declares Wisdom as the principal thing.

Let’s read:

Proverbs 4:1-7 “Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. [2] For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. [3] For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. [4] He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. [5] Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. [6] Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. [7] Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.”

Life hinges on the blood of Jesus Christ, the blood of God (Adam).

The whole earth was under the dominion of Adam before the fall because every child to be born will be a blood seed of Adam.

Every man or woman can now escape the blood seed of fallen Adam into the blood seed of Jesus Christ the New Adam (God’s blood).The eternal life verses the damnation of every man or woman hinges on this one principle of God’s blood.

We continue our reading:

Proverbs 4:8-18 “Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. [9] She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee. [10] Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many. [11] I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths. [12] When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. [13] Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life. [14] Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. [15] Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away. [16] For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall. [17] For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence. [18] But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.”

The just (justified) man or woman is the light who has escaped Adam’s blood into the blood of Jesus Christ.

Here is the Wisdom of God.

Romans 8:29-30 “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. [30] Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.”

Like Jeremiah, God did foreknow all as light as His Son is the Light.

The justified person is the one (light) who by faith had escaped the blood of Adam into the blood of Jesus Christ. This individual light is already glorified. They have become one light with Christ, one blood with Christ, even a glorified body just like Christ when He resurrected.

1 Corinthians 15:38,49,53 “But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. [49] And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. [53] For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.”

The immortal glorified body awaits the justified man or woman.

We conclude our reading:

Proverbs 4:19-27 “The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. [20] My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. [21] Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. [22] For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. [23] Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. [24] Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. [25] Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. [26] Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. [27] Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.”

God’s Wisdom (the blood of Jesus Christ) is life.
Man’s wisdom (the blood of Adam) is death.

Escape the blood of Adam. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Wisdom of God as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. Eternal life, through His blood, only in Christ!
