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 am in the middle, as I believe that we must love God in order to have his wisdom. However, the way in which we become believers is something that is done different person by person.
-
I don’t think I agree. I do not believe that only believers are able to truly love God’s wisdom. believe God’s wisdom is open and it is up to us as individuals to receive it and follow.
-
I don’t think I agree, but I would have to ask more clarifying questions about what she means. I don’t typically agree with statements like this, they seem to be exclusionary for impact or soundbite. But I get that the point is that Christian educators have a special and powerful opportunity to steward when they share and impart wisdom to students.

I would agree that the only way to truly gain Godly wisdom is through our love and reverence for God.

It is true, the statement that “only a believer is able to truly love wisdom as God created us to love.” True wisdom begins with the fear (reverence) of the LORD. (Proverbs 9:10). We learn it at His feet. We learn it by and from His Holy Spirit. We learn it when we humble ourselves to agree with the only enduring reality-God. We cannot despise God and enter wisdom. There is no other source but God for these things. These things are good things and they come, as all good things do, by way of the Father, through the Son and the Holy Spirit. (James 1:17).
