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.
-
Yes, because wisdom comes from God
-
I agree, we are made in His image and are made for relationships and to have the ultimate relationship is to be in love with God. That love includes, studying His word, praying daily and following His example. A believer strives and is eager to do these things so that love is unbreakable.
-
I agree, because only believers love the truth.

Yes, I do agree with the statement. I was reminded of Proverbs 1:7. It states, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” As we receive God as our Lord and Savior, then we accept the knowledge of God. Therefore, we should gain a better understanding that without wisdom and instruction, we’re merely lost fools. Wisdom to me is the Holy Spirit; without it, we walk around without our friend, counselor, coach, intercessor, etc.

I love this idea. I had never thought about wisdom being related to being a believer, but it certainly makes sense. The lecturer contends that if God created us to love, then only those who believe in God are able to love wisdom. I’m not sure I 100% agree with the statement, in that God created all of us, even the non-believers, and I know a lot of non-believers who love wisdom. But I certainly have an open mind on all of this and am looking forward to learning more.
