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.

Four Ways to Hell
For a man to die in his sins and enter eternal hell, he need not only be self-righteous or worldly but also unbelieving. Jesus said in John 8:24, "Unless you believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins." In other words, "If you don't put your faith in who I am, which embodies all of my person and work, you are hell-bound." That's the crux. Because the way of escape is now open, the way of salvation is open. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. It's available, salvation is offered, but the one who persists in unbelief, who will not believe that Jesus is God, who will not believe that He is God in human flesh come as a Redeemer to pay the price of sin, that He rose from the dead for our justification, that He is sovereign Lord—the one who will not believe that, who will not embrace in faith all that He is and all that He has done—will die in his sins. Just don't believe, and you'll be damned forever. Therefore, to die in your sins, all you have to do is be self-righteous, not think sin is a big problem, and believe you're already good enough; be worldly; get yourself totally engulfed in this system; be driven by the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life; serve your father, Satan; and then just refuse to believe that Christ is all that He said He was in a full expression of faith that embraces Him fully as one's own Redeemer. Just don't do that, and you'll die in your sin. Another way is to just be willfully ignorant. Look at verse 25; the Jewish religious leaders were saying to Him, "Who are you?" That's an unbelievable question! That's just an unimaginable response when you stop and realize the ministry that Jesus has had up to this point. He created wine at a wedding, healed people, created food for multitudes of people, walked on the water, and raised people from the dead. Incredible power! They had seen this, many of them firsthand; they had heard His powerful words, words that had never been spoken by any man. And yet they say, "Who are you?" This is just willful ignorance. It should have been patently obvious who He was. How else could it be explained that He was God, if not by what He did, what He said, and what He was, and they had seen it all? And Jesus responds by saying, "What have I been saying to you from the beginning? I've been telling you who I am; I've been telling you over and over who I am. It's not a secret." It was obvious who He was. He had said, "I am the light of the world; if you follow me, you'll never walk in darkness." He said, "I'm the water of life; you drink of me and you'll never thirst." He said, "I'm the bread; if you eat of me, you'll never hunger." He said, "You'd better eat my flesh and drink my blood, or you'll never know God and be saved." Yet, they didn't know who He was, and they didn't know who His Father was, and they didn't even know when He was talking about God. That's how ignorant these religious leaders were, and they were ignorant because of willful rejection. So, how do you die in your sins and end up in hell? Be self-righteous, be worldly, be unbelieving, or just be willfully ignorant, and you will spend eternity without God. Repent and believe! GTY.org (80-67) – Four Marks of a Hell-Bound Man
