The lecturer states she “would contend that only a believer is able to truly love wisdom as God created us to love.” Do you agree or disagree? Explain.
-
I completely agree with this. It is very important to love wisdom especially as a Christian because it does give us understanding of what God likes us to do and what to not do and it does guide us through the Spiritual life.
-
Agree, knowing and revering him is the foundation of true wisdom.

I completely agree. At the very beginning, we see that mankind strove to pursue and follow what was “wise in their own eyes” and rejected the wisdom of God. However, as Paul says. “Claiming to be wise, they became fools” (Romans 1:22). Wisdom is not found through our own personal efforts or our own understanding, but through a God and a right relationship with Him. If God is love (1 John 4:8), then in order to rightly relate with God, we must rightly love God. Therefore, to truly grasp wisdom in a right relationship with its source, God, we must first rightly love.
-
I agree. God made us and gave us the ability to follow him and to pursue him. He gave us the ability to praise him and be thankful for him. God had many fears, as we do and this is the beginning of wisdom.
-
I agree because Scripture states that wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord. This means that knowing and revering Him is the foundation of true wisdom. From there, the Holy Spirit works within us, illuminating our minds to receive and discern truth. Through Him, we can understand our experiences, the world around us, and everything we are taught.
