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.

Understanding God’s Law
The inability to keep God's law brings a massive curse on every person. Jesus came to teach us about God's law and its consequences. Yet, they killed Him, and the apostles and many others are still being martyred for that same message. You don’t want to go the way of the law, folks. You don’t want to live that way. You don’t want to try to be reconciled to God by the law because you can’t be. Galatians 3:11 is very clear, “No one is justified by the law before God; the righteous live by faith.” You don’t want to go the way of law. You want to be justified by faith. And the way of law is not the way of faith. And if you’re going to go the way of law, then you’ve got to practice the law perfectly. Now, since we are all born with God’s law written on our heart, let me tell you a few things about the law because we cannot understand redemption if we don’t understand the curse. And we can’t understand the curse unless we understand the character and work of the law. Keeping God’s law, in an attempt to be reconciled to God, is futile. Why? Because first, God’s law requires behavior contrary to your nature. Second, the law requires behavior that is impossible. Third, the law requires perfection. Four, the law refuses to accept good intentions and effort as compensation. Five, the law accepts no payback plan. Six, the law is an unrelenting taskmaster. Seven, the law destroys happiness. Eight, the law requires the severest penalty, hell. Nine, the law demands but doesn’t help. Ten, the law offers no salvation. Eleven, the law listens to no one’s repentance. Twelve, the law offers no forgiveness, mercy, or grace; that’s why it’s law. Therefore, there’s no hope in law. There's no guarantee that tomorrow will be better or that the future will be easier. No, the future will always be worse. And the future is not only horrible, it lasts forever! The bottom line? The law cannot get you to heaven. I don’t think you want to live under the law, do you? I don’t think you want to work your way to hell thinking you’re working your way to heaven. But that’s where all of us are. We’re all under the weight of the crushing violation of the divine law of God, which renders us guilty before God, and just punishment and retribution needs to be meted out by a holy God. And our only hope is that somebody would rescue us. Our only hope is that someone would pay the debt we owe. Our only hope is that someone would pay the price. In fact, our only hope of being reconciled to God is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone, according to scripture alone, for God’s glory alone. You will never earn your way to heaven by keeping God’s law. Why? Because “the righteous live by faith.” Repent and believe! GTY.org (90-285) - Redeemed from the Curse of the Law – 90-285
