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.

Evidence of the Divine Nature
In John 16:7, Jesus says, "I tell you the truth, it's to your advantage that I go away; for if I don't go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I'll send Him to you." Jesus is saying, "It's better for Me to go." Why? "Because if I go, I will send the Holy Spirit. It's better because the Holy Spirit will do in you what He did in Me. I've had My ministry. Mine has come to an end, and the Holy Spirit is about to launch His in its fullness." He says in John 14:16: "I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever—the Spirit of truth." Verse 26: "The Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you." This is first said to the apostles, who will write the New Testament, but it extends beyond that to all believers who benefit from the truth ministry of the Holy Spirit. Chapter 15 affirms the same truth: "When the Spirit comes"—the Helper—"the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me." 16:13, "When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth; He will not speak on His own initiative; whatever He hears, He'll speak. He will disclose to you what is to come. He will glorify Me. He will take of Mine and disclose it to you." In other words, the Holy Spirit's ministry is to guide you to the truth and reveal the things of Christ to you with the aim of conforming you to His likeness. Just an amazing, simple reality. The Holy Spirit does in us what He did in the Son, conforming us to the very image of Christ. Jesus shows us what perfect humanity looks like. The Spirit is conforming us to Christ, empowering God's redeemed elect to triumph in time over the power of sin, flesh, Satan, and the world, empowering us to be more and more like the Son of God. The Holy Spirit is working in us: holy knowledge, holy doctrine, holy deeds, holy attitudes, holy words, holy character, holy actions, holy ambitions, holy longings, and holy affections. What a horrible insult to the Holy Spirit to say He's responsible for the corruption, the unholiness, the foolishness, and even the demonic elements of the charismatic movement that dishonor the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! The work of the Holy Spirit is to take corrupted image bearers who cannot glorify God, in whom the divine resemblance is marred so profoundly that all will die eternally and spend forever in hell's torment with no possibility of escape, and to take those marred and scarred people and restore in them the likeness of Jesus Christ. I'll start believing that the truth prevails in the charismatic movement when I see the leaders, who are the people most exposed to its principles, begin to look more like Jesus Christ. Then there would be some evidence that they really are partakers of the divine nature. Repent and believe! GTY.org (TM13-1) – Strange Fire
