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 agree. Only a child of God who has His Spirit living inside him can love the things God loves.
-
Yes I do agree with this statement. A believer has a different lens through which to see the world. The believer sees the world through the eyes and heart of the creator of this world. The believer is acutely aware of all the attributes of God, and in this knowledge, the believer is bound to love wisdom as God, our creator, does.
-
I agree with this statement because without knowing, loving, and trusting God, we seek to get “wisdom” from other sources. We find “truth” in society, pop culture, media, etc. instead of God’s word. Believing in God and Christ as our Savior, as well as knowing and applying His word and teachings to our daily lives gives us the true wisdom He intended for us. By loving and believing in God, we therefore love everything He’s created for us, including wisdom.
-
I agree because when we know God, we know true love. These together help us to love deeper and stronger in all things. God created us to do these things and gave us freedom of will to follow and choose. I believe that true wisdom comes from loving God and following, of free will, the path he sets out for us.

I agree that only a believer is able to truly love wisdom as God created us to love. As stated in Proverbs 9:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: And the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” The bible also tells us to in Proverbs 4:7 that “Wisdom is the principal thing: therefore, get wisdom: And with all thy getting get understanding.” In order to do these things, you must have a relationship with Him and know that He is love. By gaining wisdom and knowledge, it helps us along this journey to learn, grow, and teach others.
