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.

Proverbs 4:5 - Acquire Wisdom!
Our Salvation is Secure!
Scripture is clear that the purpose of God is to bring us to glory. Therefore, He will bring us to glory; He will redeem us fully in the future, and the Holy Spirit is given to us as a guarantee, a pledge. You cannot get around this profound truth. God has a purpose. God has a will. God has a plan. And do you know why He saved us? So that He could bring you to glory and pour out all the surpassing riches of His grace in His kindness on you. You weren't saved just to help you bump along temporarily in this life if you could only hang onto it. You were saved in order that you might be brought into the surpassing riches of His grace and His kindness in the ages to come. And since it isn't a matter of your works to get saved, it's not a matter of your works to stay saved, right? It was grace that saved you, it is grace that keeps you, and it is grace that brings you to glory. There has to be a mighty work of God. Salvation is not of the will of man; it's the will of God. And that is repeated over and over in Scripture. John 6:37 sums it up so well, "All that the Father gives Me shall come to Me." In other words, the whole matter of salvation is initiated by the Father's will. And verse 44 says, "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him." Did Jesus say, “And I will do My best to hang onto him until the end”? Is that what He said? No, He said in verse 40, "I will (what?) raise him up at the last day." God's will is that whom He draws, Christ receives. Whoever Christ receives, He keeps, and whomever He keeps, He raises to eternal glory. That's His will. You're secure, beloved, because that's the Father's purpose. But you're also secure because the Son and the Spirit are making sure that the Father's purpose is fulfilled. The Spirit is constantly, relentlessly, unceasingly interceding for you from earth as He dwells within you, and the Son is relentlessly interceding for you in the presence of God at the right hand of the throne. And between the two of them, you're secure! Why? Because Jesus prays in verse 24 of John 17, “Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me (in heaven) where I am.” And here’s why: “so that they may see My glory which You have given Me.” That's the plan! Salvation is all about God wanting to create and redeem a group of human beings who can go to heaven for the purpose of glorifying His Son forever. That was the way the Father expressed His love to the Son, by giving Him a redeemed humanity. And so, the Father's plan was to choose who they would be, to save them, and then the Son was to provide the sacrifice for that salvation. Then the intercessory work of the Son and the Spirit will keep those people secure and bring them all the way to glory. Jesus has fulfilled His role and continues to do so, just as the Spirit does, ensuring that God's purpose will prevail. Consequently, our salvation is secure! Repent and believe!
