Wisdom is a skill in living that begins with fearing God, then progresses to guarding your mind, choosing your companions, controlling your body, monitoring your words, pursuing your work, managing your money, and loving your neighbor. Very simple. But that’s it. And when you’ve done that, you’ve learned wisdom. It’s vital to be taught wisdom. For example, as a father, if I fail to teach my son to fear God, the devil will teach him to hate God. If I fail to teach my son to guard his mind, the devil will teach him to have an open mind. If I fail to teach my son to obey his parents, the devil will teach him to rebel and break his parents’ hearts. If I fail to teach my son to select his companions carefully, the devil will choose them for him. If I fail to teach my son to control his body, the devil will gladly teach him to give it completely over to his lusts. If I fail to teach my children to enjoy speech that is honorable to God, the devil will fill their mouths with filth. If I fail to teach my children to pursue their work, the devil will make them lazy. If I fail to teach them to manage their money, the devil will teach them to waste it on riotous living. If I fail to teach them to love their neighbor, the devil will gladly teach them to love only themselves. And the only reason I can pass any of this wisdom on to my children is because God has graciously made it all available in the Bible.

The Truth that Controls Us
How important is truth? The truth saves us, the truth unites us, and the truth indwells us forever. But it's also the truth that blesses us. Look at 2 John verse 3: "Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love." Do you want grace, mercy, and peace, the kind that comes from God, the Father, and Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father? Well, you will receive it only in truth. Because all the grace, mercy, and peace of salvation; all the grace, mercy, and peace of sanctification; all the provisions of glorification; and everything that God the Father and Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, bestow upon us come to us in truth–in truth. All the writers of the New Testament gather up these great spiritual blessings: grace, mercy, and peace. The benefits of salvation—grace for our sins, mercy for our miserable condition, peace for our separation from God, and reconciliation—all come in truth and the love that accompanies that truth. Where divine truth dominates the mind and the heart, there will be grace, mercy, and peace forever. Grace for our sin, mercy for our misery, and peace for our turmoil all come through the truth, which is inseparably linked to the common love we share with those who believe that truth. When gospel truth comes, it brings love, and with it grace, mercy, and peace. One last point. We said that truth saves us, unites us, indwells us, and blesses us. But truth also controls us. Verse 4 says, "I was very glad to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we have received a commandment to do from the Father." What did John find? The lady that John wrote this letter to had children. And some of them were walking in truth. "Walking" is the idea of moving through life, conducting themselves within the framework of the truth. They were literally controlled by the truth. They were moving around in the truth. Their life was defined by the truth. The truth is not just to be believed; it's a way of living. You don't just know the truth and believe the truth; if you're a Christian, you live the truth. It controls you; it defines you. It's the path you walk. It's the life you live. We who know Christ live in the truth in the sense that it sets boundaries for our lives. It informs our thinking, our speaking, and our acting. It's the grid through which everything that comes to us passes. We view the world through the truth. It defines everything. It's our worldview. Scripture is full of commandments, but collectively it is the ultimate commandment. We live in the truth—it defines us. Truth is everything to Christians, everything. It saves us, it unites us, it indwells us, it blesses us, and it controls us. Therefore, our relationship to divine truth is the priority, because this is where we live and move and have our being, and this is where we love. Repent and believe!
