The Bible talks about two kinds of wisdom: heavenly and earthly. We may think that we should subscribe to the wisdom of earth since this is what we’re most accustomed to. However, there is a better wisdom available to us: heavenly wisdom.
Heavenly wisdom in James 3 is described as:
- pure
- peace-loving
- considerate
- submissive
- full of mercy and good fruit
- impartial and sincere.
The elements of earthly wisdom:
- unspiritual
- demonic
- harboring envy and selfish ambition in our hearts,
producing:
- disorder
- and every evil practice.
James 3 also tells us that those of us who are wise and understanding are to show it by our good lives, works done in humility from wisdom, concluding: Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.
