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.

Forgiveness and a Transformed Life
The difference between the Christians and the non-Christians is that the Christians have been forgiven by God and have been set on a new path and a new course. Part of that forgiveness is also a transformation of the inner person. We're just different. You can't see it yet, because the outside hasn't been transformed, but the inside has. We are different. We have different longings. We have different desires, different passions, and different loves. I talked to a guy a while ago, and he said, "I can't become a Christian. Because if I become a Christian, I'll have to get rid of everything I like, such as booze, drugs, girls, and money." Then the guy says, "If I become a Christian, I'm going to have to throw all that away, and then I'll have to go to church and read the Bible, and I'm just not interested in that at all." And I said, "No, you've got it wrong. It doesn't work like that." Here's how it works. Let's say that you've got a table here, and on it you have all the stuff in your life. But when you become a Christian, do you know what happens? The price tags on everything you value have changed. And when you go back to the table, you will now say, "Wait a minute, those things don't have the same value to me anymore." And all of a sudden, you love different things. It won't feel like you've made a big sacrifice. It's just that your desires have changed. You still do what you love and enjoy, which fulfills you. It's just that you now hate what you used to love, and you now love what you used to hate. You still give your heart to what rewards you and what makes your life rich and meaningful. But your desires, passions, and interests have all changed. And that's a wonderful thing because that's the evidence of your salvation. However, if you have not experienced that transformation, then you must ask yourself, "Do I actually "possess" the Holy Spirit, which is the definition of a Christian, or do I just "profess" that I do?" Sadly, many, if not most, who profess to be Christians don't possess the Holy Spirit. But when you have been truly saved, your entire approach to everything is different. That's the transformation. And that's what Jesus Christ offers you: forgiveness and a transformed life. That's the message of Christianity in its wonderful simplicity. Let's pray. Father, I pray that every person who reads these words might know the Lord Jesus Christ, that their sins would be forever forgiven, and that their lives would be transformed. We thank You, Christ, that You have risen from the dead so that someday when we leave this world, we will rise to the glory of the heaven you have created for Your own. Thank You, Father, for loving us enough to send Your Son to die for us and to forgive our sins and to take us to be with You forever. We praise You, and we ask, Lord, that You would be gracious to many hearts and bring them to the knowledge of Christ, in whose name we pray. Amen. Repent and believe!
