    We are told in James 1:5 to ask if we lack wisdom, and he will generously provide all that we need. Nothing that has been created, including wisdom, can be loved and appreciated to its fullest extent if we do not approach it as God intended in his creation of it. If one does not believe, they cannot truly reach this highest level of love for wisdom that God calls us to.

    Since love is a fruit of the spirit, and the Spirit of God indwells every believer, I think it is not an unreasonable leap, indeed, no leap at all, to suggest that only a believer is able to truly love anything as God created us to do so. Wisdom, an attribute of God, is offered freely to those who ask, and the Psalmist tells us in Psalm 147 that His understanding is beyond comprehension, so it follows that only with the aid of the Holy Spirit, who will teach us, could we begin to love wisdom as God intends.

    I truly believe this quote. The Bible says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. People can be lovers of knowledge without having a relationship with God, but to truly love wisdom you must chase after the wisdom from God.

    I agree that a believer is only able to truly love wisdom as God created us to love because in order to have the love of wisdom, we need to fear the Lord. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. If we do not KNOW the Lord, how can we fear Him? If we do not fear Him, how can we truly have wisdom? Biblical wisdom is fearing the Lord enough to want to read His Word and become closer to Him so that we can make the best decisions as possible in this life.

    I agree that only a believer is able to truly love wisdom. Since wisdom comes from God, who created in us an innate desire and thirst for wisdom, then believers will go to the source of all wisdom and truth. Someone can say they love wisdom, but is that because they profess that God is the creator and giver of wisdom, or is it because they can attain it based on their own merit without acknowledging God? Truly loving wisdom would also have to go hand in hand with truly loving God. If you love wisdom and profess as an Atheist who believes nothing, then their perspective is both jaded and narrow. Loving wisdom would mean needing to go beyond what they truly believe, feel or think to explore other possibilities. Those willing to seek after true wisdom will find it. God will lead them to it because their heart is open.
