The wisdom of this world is foolishness

The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. 1st Corinthians 3:19

There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the end result is death. Proverbs 14:12

Many of us were raised to believe that true wisdom comes from attending the world’s higher learning institutions.

We were told that if we study the teachings of this world’s greatest minds, that we too would be very wise.

That if we would obtain a degree in the understandings of what others believe on how to prosper in this world, we would have gained something of great value.

An education does have a value, but with all your getting, get an understanding. Proverbs 4:7

Get the understanding of Jesus Christ, for without the wisdom of Jesus Christ, what will the other profit you?

According to the Word of God, there are two types of wisdom, a wisdom that is taught by man and another that is taught by the Spirit of God.

Learning the wisdom of men can only benefit us in one-way, how to operate and understand a worldly system throughout our earthly lives.

The wisdom of God can benefit us in so much more, we can learn to live free from the worldly system and gain eternal life.

The wisdom that is taught by man is available to all that attends the world’s educational system, but the wisdom of God can only be obtain through faith in Jesus Christ and by whom the Spirit of God will reveal it to.

Many educated men have tried to obtain the wisdom of God by studying His Holy Bible, but have not obtained it’s understanding.

For Jesus said, ” I thank you Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes.” Matthew 11:25

And again that seeing they may not see and hearing, they may not understand (comprehend). Luke 8:10

We live in a world that operates by man’s wisdom, the wisdom of the five senses sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell.

For if one of these senses cannot be proven then it is not true according to man’s knowledge.

For it is written, “ we have received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1st Corinthians 2:12-14

You see two types of wisdom, each opposing the other.

Which of them will you believe?

Man’s wisdom works at disproving the wisdom of God and has not been able to disprove it.

But the wisdom of God has not only proven itself, but has also made a mockery of man’s wisdom by performing things that they cannot explain nor find out how they were done.

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Have not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 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. 1st Corinthians 1:19-21

Don’t we understand that all of our worldly wisdom of medicine, aerodynamics, science, philosophy, technology, and so much more, will not save us come the Day of Judgment?

There are two types of wisdom in this world, one is described as,” earthly, sensual, devilish, for it is said, “ that this wisdom descended not from above (Heaven). James 3:15

The second is described as, “ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.” James 3:17

So while you are pursuing your PHD make sure you get your JC (Jesus Christ) that you may receive the true benefit of wisdom, which is eternal life.

Until next time I love you,
