Path of Wisdom

Path of wisdom 

Do you want to be wise?  Here’s the path to wisdom most people ignore.  

Psalm 107:43 “Who is wise? Let them give heed to these things, and consider the loving kindnesses of the Lord.”  

Salvation is the perfect example of God’s love.  

 

Psalm 14:1 

“The fool has said in their heart, ‘There is no God.’ They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds; there is no one who does good. “

Both of these passages in Psalms were written many years before Christ came and died for our sins.  Remember it said the path to wisdom is considering God’s loving Kindness.  

Romans 5:8

“But God demonstrates his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners; Christ died for us.”  

Now connect that with this part in the New Testament because God has connected scripture.  Here’s the crazy part because God planned what was said in Psalm 107 in 1010-970 BC and the next passage was written around 53-54 AD so many years later.  

1 Corinthians 1:18-24

“For the Word of the Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written, ‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will set aside’. Where is the wise man?  Where is the scribe?  Where is the debater of this age?  Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?  For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.  For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and wisdom of God.”

2 Peter 3:9

“The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.”

The preaching of Christ being crucified and raised from the dead for the redemption of sin makes no sense to a lost and dying world but God calls us to do so because through it He changes lives.  God has had a plan before Creation because he is not bound by time.  By considering God’s loving kindness and salvation it brings wisdom that leads to redemption.
