Wisdom From Above

Bible Readings: James 3:13-18; 1 Corinthians 1:18-31

Summary: James is showing the contrast between man’s

wisdom and God’s wisdom. Man’s wisdom is earthly, and

God’s wisdom sounds like foolishness to the world. Man’s

wisdom is reason and only what he can see and prove. God’s

wisdom is from above, and not the Wisdom of the world.

Humans value learning and knowledge, but God’s message

does not depend on human approval. People cannot know

God through their intelligence and earthly wisdom, nor can

they save themselves by any amount of their own

knowledge. Instead, God decided to save people who

believed the Gospel of Christ Crucified. They are His

children.
