Yes, only someone who follows God and knows him understands how he wishes us to love wisdom and love others.

I do agree, because God is the author of all wisdom and has created us to value and embrace wisdom in the way that He does. We can only fully grasp this if we are living our lives to be more like Him and understand that all knowledge gives us a better understanding of Him.

I agree. Because people are created in His image, they the capacity to give love, but – without God – can only do so in a limited way. It is vital to have the love of God in us – His capacity to love – which happens in the gift of receiving His Holy Spirit. It is vital that His Spirit lead and direct us. Without that, we can’t give love – or love properly – as God intended. The love of wisdom without God will automatically set up humankind as an idol, a false god anchored in false principles.

I agree that only by knowing who God is, and truly believing that He created us and everything that exists we could have love the wisdom that comes from Him. Only through His word, can we understand how and why He made everything, His plan for His creation, and how we should live our lives according to His commandments in obedience and thanksgiving.

I Strongly agreed. God is the founder of wisdom, in short, He is wisdom as well as love. Since I am His child and He first loves me for that, I see no reason why I should not respond in the same way by loving wisdom. For If I do not love wisdom, that will make me not a believer.
