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. On account of general revelation and the fact that God has written his law on the hearts of all people (Rom. 2:15), all people have the capacity for some degree of wisdom. But it is also the case that, “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,” (Prov. 9:10). Therefore, the only way to be wise and love wisdom as fully as we are capable is by faith.
-
I agree with this statement. We have to continuously seek God through our daily walk with Christ. We gain and deepen this wisdom through continually learning.
-
I agree that only a believer is able to truly love the wisdom that comes from God. The wisdom of God can only come from a daily walk with God, and an openness to listen and obey.
-
I agree that only a believer can truly love the wisdom that comes from God and is permeated with love. There is a huge difference between the love of classical wisdom and philosophies and the love of Godly wisdom. It is this love I want to cultivate, experience and share.

I agree because when a person knows God and truly becomes a child of God, he or she learns about God and how much He loves us. Christians who really mean business for God will have a longing or yearning to know more, with that hunger comes a love for God that only God can give. A believer will continue to learn, grow, and develop into the person that God has called them to be. Their understanding will grow and thus he or she will develop wisdom in why it is important to have wisdom. James 1:5 says “if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that give the to all men liberally, and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him.” Only a believer would know to ask God for wisdom. Only a believer can truly understand that God will not withhold wisdom from his people. Only a believer can truly and humbly accept this gift of wisdom knowing that God gives it to us liberally because He loves us. God let’s his people know in His Word that we are to have the love of God in us, love everyone as God has loved us. If a person does not know God, or have a real personal relationship with God. How can he or she truly love God, His wisdom, and understand it. He cannot. Only a believer can truly love wisdom the way that God intended.
