Are You Wise or Other-Wise?

James 3:13-18

Wisdom Compared

Wisdom is a matter of lifestyle.

James 3:13

Notice the phrase: “meekness of wisdom”
Attitude and action go together.
1) Earthly Wisdom
“earthly, sensual, demonic”

The believer has three enemies:

Ephesians 2:1-3

The World - The Flesh - The Devil

Results of Earthly Wisdom
Trouble: Envy, strife, confusion, evil works.

Evil works = worthless of no account.

1 Corinthians 3:11-13

2) Heavenly Wisdom
Jesus Christ is our wisdom

1 Corinthians 1:24, 1 Corinthians 1:30

In Christ are “hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” Colossians 2:3

Heavenly wisdom is: Pure, peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and hypocrisy.

Pure: Undefiled, unmixed in motive and measure
Peacable: Quiet, assured, resting; compared to restless, easily agitated.
Gentle: One who is without contention.
Willing to yield: (submissive) God’s wisdom makes a person easy to live with. Man’s wisdom make’s a man hard to be around and stubborn.
Full of mercy and good fruits: “Full of” means to be controlled by. God’s wisdom makes for a full life – full of mercy and fruits!
Without partiality and hypocrisy: Faith is living without scheming.
Heavenly wisdom does not need a salesman. People will see the fruit!

Results of Heavenly Wisdom: Blessings!
The fruit of righteousness is sown.
How to obtain Wisdom

Seek after it.

Proverbs 2:4-7

James 1:5-6

Meditate on it.
Obey Scriptural principles.
