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 Simple Message of Christianity
Listen beloved, Christianity is not a complex thing. It's all about forgiveness of sins. There is a God. He has a law. And you have broken it. That means you're condemned to hell, but because He's so gracious and merciful, He will forgive your sins. However, God is also just. So, if He's going to forgive, He has to have His justice satisfied. That means that somebody has to pay the price for your sins, so He sent His own Son into the world. And Jesus, being a part of the Trinity, comes into the world and dies in your place. You say, "How did that work?" Well, it's simply this: God treated Jesus as if He had committed all the sins of all the people who would ever believe. Did you get that? Jesus didn't become a sinner on the cross. People who say that aren't telling the truth. He didn't become a sinner. He was always sinless—perfect. He wasn't guilty, but God put your punishment onto Him. Now here is the incredible exchange: He became sin in the sense that God treated Him as if He had committed every sin ever committed by every person who would ever believe the gospel. That's an incredible thing. God just took our sin, as it were, and had Jesus pay the price for all of them. So, you know what? We don't have to pay the price for our sins. That's what forgiveness is about. And then God did something else. God took all the righteousness of Christ, all His perfection and holiness, and put it onto your account, just like you put your sin onto Christ's account. Let me say it another way. God treated Jesus as if He had committed all your sins, and God treats you as if you had done all His righteousness. That's the great doctrine of imputation and the tremendous heart of Christianity right there. Now, I'm a Christian. Does that mean I'm perfect? No. Does that mean I'm absolutely righteous? No. Does that mean I'm holy? No. But what it does mean is that God treats me as if I were. He treated Christ as if He were a sinner; He treats you as if you were Christ. And God looks at the repentant sinner who has committed his life to Christ and sees Christ. We're not better than anybody else. People say, "Well, I don't know about Christians. They're certainly not perfect." Well, you've got that right. But we are forgiven, and that's the issue. So, if you desire to have your sins forgiven and to be cleansed and to be granted righteousness and heaven eternally, and if you want heaven and joy and peace and forgiveness, come to Christ. That's the issue. You say, "Well, how do I do that?" Ask Him to forgive your sin—how difficult is that? You might wonder, "Is there any work required on my part?" Nope, it's a gift. If you want your sins forgiven, ask with a simple and sincere prayer like this: "Lord Jesus, I believe you died for me, and I believe the Scriptures, and I ask You to forgive my sins and to take over my life." That's it. And you pass from death to life, from doubt to knowledge, and from fear to joy. That's the simple message of Christianity. Repent and believe!
