Christian Foundation: Your Key To Biblical Understanding: 3 (Christian Growth)

Let's begin our with some important Scriptures “Through WISDOM IS AN HOUSE BUILDED; and by UNDERSTANDING IT IS ESTABLISHED: And by KNOWLEDGE shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. A wise man is strong; yea, A MAN OF KNOWLEDGE increaseth strength.” Proverbs 24:3-4 There are three keys to Building a solid Foundation: wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding. “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” Proverbs 4:7 The Bible says, among the three keys, wisdom is the principal of all. What is wisdom? Wisdom is the word of God. But you need to have knowledge of what the word says and understand it first before you can apply wisdom. The Bible says Jesus is the embodiment of all wisdom because He is the living word. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:1-5, 14 (ESV) Jesus came from the word, He is the word of God that became flesh “the word became flesh…”, that’s why I early said wisdom is the word of God and He was with God from the very beginning, and He was Himself God. “I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth” Proverbs 8:12, 22-25 When we say that wisdom is the word of God, that is what we mean. The same way wisdom described Himself in Proverbs 8 is the same way He is described in John 1, but He is known as the word that became flesh. So, Christ is wisdom. “For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the MYSTERY OF GOD, and of the Father, AND OF CHRIST; IN WHOM ARE HID ALL THE TREASURES OF WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE.” Colossians 2:1-3 Christian Foundation helps you with the knowledge and understanding you need to transform your theoretical wisdom in to analytical and practical wisdom.
