Rooted in Biblical Wisdom!
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 children to fear God, the devil will teach them to hate God. If I fail to teach my children to guard their mind, the devil will teach them to have an open mind. If I fail to teach my children to obey their parents, the devil will teach them to rebel and break his parents’ hearts. If I fail to teach my children to select their companions carefully, the devil will choose them for them. If I fail to teach my children to control their body, the devil will gladly teach them to give it completely over to their 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.

To have a "right" relationship with God, we need the righteousness of God because the righteousness of man is inadequate. So let's just talk about some of the components of this righteousness of God. Number one: it's apart from legalism. Romans 3:21, "Apart from the law." This righteousness has nothing to do with keeping the law. It's a righteousness that cannot be achieved by keeping the law of God. So why was the law given? Chapter 5, verse 20 says, "The Law came so that the transgression would increase." The law was given to awaken you to the fact that you cannot keep it. Hence, your need for a savior. Law-keeping is not going to achieve righteousness. Believers must understand that the greatest error of religion is the belief that people can achieve righteousness, or a right standing with God, by earning it through their works. That's the devil's big lie. A second component of this righteousness of God is that it's based on revelation: "Being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets," a euphemism for the Old Testament; and this isn't anything new. Here's the model: "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." Abraham was saved by—what?—faith. The ceremonies, rituals, and religious activities of the Old Testament couldn't give spiritual life. Even the Law of God couldn't give life. They could only produce death because you couldn't keep it. This is not new. It goes all the way back to the beginning in Genesis. Thirdly, the righteousness of God it's acquired by faith. Romans 4:5, "He justifies the ungodly because his faith is credited as righteousness." Boy, that is an amazing and magnanimous gift, isn't it? You simply receive it by believing. Do you understand this exchange? When you give to God faith; He gives you His righteousness. That's why we say salvation is by faith alone, by believing. And even the act of believing is a gift from God. A fourth point: the righteousness of God comes down to us from heaven. This is the essence of Paul's gospel: it's free from legalism, rooted in revelation, consistent with the Old Testament, and acquired through faith—a faith that God Himself grants, not independently of our will, but by influencing our will and giving life to our dead souls through the ministry of regeneration carried out by the Holy Spirit. Number five, the righteousness of God is provided for all who believe. The reason it's available to all is because all sinners have the same need, whether Jew or Gentile. Sin puts all people in the same situation because they all need the righteousness of God. Number six, the righteousness of God is given through grace. Verse 24: "Being justified as a gift by His grace." So you don't earn it; it's a gift, right? You can reject it or you can receive it, but you can't earn it. It's a gift by His grace that we have become justified. "Justified" means "righteous." Same word. Being right with God, then, is given through grace. But even though it's free to us, it was very costly. And that's the sixth point; it was accomplished by redemption, verse 24: "through the redemption, which is in Christ Jesus." What does the word "redemption" mean? It means to ransom someone by the payment of a price. Who paid the price? Jesus did. And what was the price? The price was the death of God's Son on the cross. This is Paul's gospel, insofar as it satisfies the sinner's need. That's why we preach this message. And it's a single message: no gospel, no salvation. I know there are people who say today, "Oh, they don't have to hear the gospel in places where they have not had an opportunity; God will account whatever faith they have in whatever they know as adequate to save them." That's not what the Bible says. It's by faith in Christ, and apart from Him there is no salvation; thus the mandate to go to the world and preach the gospel to every creature. So the great question in the heart of the sinner is, how can a man be right with God? The answer is that the righteousness of God granted to him by faith through grace, based upon the fact that Christ has paid for all his sins, and by that payment, paid the price in full to ransom the sinner. The bottom line? To be made right with God, sinners require the righteousness of God that only comes from above. Repent and believe! GTY.org (TM11-2) - The Gospel Satisfies the Sinner's Need – TM11-2
