Seven Jewels Of Faith

DAY 2 OF 7

KNOWLEDGE THE SECOND JEWEL

The knowledge Peter writes is based on the revealed Word of God. “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (Proverbs 1:7) King Solomon asked for wisdom rather than riches or military conquests. (I Kings 3: 1-15) Worldly knowledge puffs up a person. (I Corinthians 8:1) “But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.” (James 3:17)

True knowledge is holy and pure, without criminal intention or a corrupt mindset or biased and judgmental. The knowledge that God provides is peaceable and gentle (courteous, polite). A person with divine wisdom is humble, willing to learn, serve, and to accept correction. This knowledge is merciful and gracious in relationships. The fruit of this knowledge is good, pleasing and a blessing. This knowledge does not allow people to discriminate or be partial.

There are people with knowledge which is used for ignoble purposes. For example: Political wisdom to manipulate people, bureaucratic wisdom to abuse power, criminal wisdom to do ID thefts and do white-collar crimes, legal wisdom to exploit and oppress others. Such worldly smart wisdom is not rooted in faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
