THE WISDOM OF GOD Steve Holdaway
DEFINING THE WISDOM OF GOD:
“That attribute of God whereby he produces the best possible results by the best possible means.” - Louis Berkhof Memory Verse: Proverbs 9:10 ESV The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. It’s part of your nature to want to be __________________. Genesis 3:6-7 NIV
Worldly wisdom is at ____________ with God’s wisdom. 1 Corinthians 2 ESV 14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. 15 The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. 16 "For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.
God’s wisdom is worth the cost, no matter _____ _________. Proverbs 8:10-11 ESV Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold, for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her. Ephesians 5:15-17 NIV Be very careful, then, how you live — not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.
