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.
-
God created us all with some knowledge to do and abilities and talents for various purposes.
All of us has a purpose to do and learn new things and gain new knowledge.
-
I disagree. Non-believers can absolutely love (and even idolize) wisdom. We see this happening in our culture all the time. The question is – can non-believers truly love if they do not also believe in the definition of love as the sacrifice God made with his son.
-
Agree! To love wisdom, one must be humble enough to acknowledge their own shortcomings in knowledge and that there are things to be learned from others! We all struggle with this in a fallen world.
-
I agree with this since “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10). Through God’s Word and with the help of the Holy Spirit, us believers will be able to truly love wisdom and be able to apply it to the people around us. We are also created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) and in Him we gain our wisdom that we can love others the way God loves them.

To have wisdom is to understand the importance of love. To have wisdom is to recognize the hand of God over our lives and the lives of others. I would contend that it is not possible to have true wisdom or love without being a believer. I definitely agree with her statement.
