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.

Proverbs 4:5 - Acquire Wisdom!
Our Sanctifier
When Christ died on the cross, He not only became our substitute—by paying the penalty of our sins—and our trailblazing captain—by opening up our path to God—but He also became our sanctifier. Look at Hebrews 2:11, "For both He who sanctifies"—that's talking about Christ; He's the one that sanctifies—"and those who are being sanctified are all one." "Sanctify" means to make holy. That's one of the most thrilling concepts because it tells us that Jesus Christ is holy, and He is capable of making you and me holy. We are the holy ones in verse 11. He is holy, and they who are holy are one through His death. Now, listen to this: Through His death and our faith in Him, believing and receiving Him as Savior, we are declared holy. Did you get that? That is positional truth. Before God, by your faith in Jesus Christ, you are holy if you know Christ. Now, the practical end of it is you ought to act like it. There's still sin in our lives, but positionally before God, we're holy. You say, "How does that work?" Listen, when Christ died on the cross, how much of my sin did He pay for? Every bit of it, all of it. That means God cannot hold me responsible in terms of judgment for any sin. That's why Paul says, "There is no condemnation to them who are in Christ." It all was on Christ at the cross. God therefore says, "Positionally, because of your faith in Christ, you are holy." Why? Because Jesus paid for every sin you'll ever commit. Therefore, if you know Jesus Christ, you're holy. What is holy? Perfectly righteous. Now, that's positional truth. God looks at you and says, "You're righteous and holy." And that means holy ones or saints. We're saints. We are holy before God. There's never a sin recorded against us, never; we're holy. Why? Because "He that sanctifies or makes holy and they who are holy are one." That means if you are one with Christ, you are holy because He's holy. You say, "Are we the same holy that He is?" That's the only kind of holy there is. And listen to this: if you've ever been made holy, you've been made holy forever. Dear people, do not believe that once you have received the imputed holiness of Jesus Christ there is anything in this universe that could ever take it away; there isn't. You have been perfected forever through the offering of His body, and if you could lose it, then Jesus didn't do it right, which is ridiculous. Listen, He made you positionally holy with the same kind of holiness that he knows. There's only one kind; what a tremendous truth. Does that help you to understand who you are in Christ? In fact, when you are made holy, Jesus is not ashamed to call you brethren: "For both He who sanctifiesand they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren." Wow! Jesus calls us brothers. We both share the same God, the same Father. We're brothers. As our sanctifier, that's the kind of holiness that Jesus Christ imputes to the one who believes in Him. So, because of His death, He's our substitute, our salvation captain, and our sanctifier. Can you resist that kind of love? I can't. Repent and believe! GTY.org (1204) – Why Was Jesus Born?
