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.

Proverbs 4:5 - Acquire Wisdom!
His Divine Purpose
Christians are the "church" and "the called" because we were "called before" the world began; that's election. We were "called out" of the world in time; that's redemption. We were "called from" the world; that's sanctification. We were also "called to" someone, that's identification. And we were also "called under," that's revelation. Scripture reveals our relationship to God as a relationship under authority. We are not the authority; we are under authority. Therefore, we have been called to serve under divine authority. We are "called under" the authority of divine wisdom and insight, which has been lavished on us, and the mystery of the will of God has been revealed to us on the pages of Holy Scripture. Thus, His revelation calls us to be under His authority. We are also going to be "called with," that's unification. That's when all of God's purposes in time have come to an end, and we leave time behind and go to eternity. There's the gathering of everyone into one great bride, one great glorious assembly of eternal saints. In the end, He will unite us in eternity with all the other saints. That's the call to unification. We will also receive another calling in the future. We will be "called unto" glory. That's glorification. Look at Ephesians 1:11, "We have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose." Literally, we have an inheritance waiting for us. Verse 12 says, "It is an inheritance of eternal glory." Wow, you were saved in order that someday you would be to the praise of God's glory! Why? Because in the end, the purpose of God is eternal glory. That's the major theme of Scripture. And since that's the way it's going to be in eternity, that's the way it ought to be now; we ought to live to His glory. That's foundational. We live to the glory of God. Everything we do, whether we eat or drink, is to be for the glory of God. That's who we are, that's what we do, and that's why we exist: to His glory. There's one final call: we have also been "called for" a reason, and that's proclamation. The reason we believe is because somebody preached the gospel to us. And faith only comes by hearing the truth of the gospel. Therefore, our responsibility, as long as we're in this world, is to give the message of truth, which verse 13 calls the gospel of salvation, so people can hear and believe. Listen, the future of the church depends on one thing: not what the culture does, but what the church does. And that is to proclaim the message of faith. And we proclaim it because we have been called before—that's election; called out—that's redemption; called from—that's sanctification; called to—that's identification; called under—that's revelation; called with—unification; called unto—glorification; and called for—proclamation. We are a called people, and we've been called to these things. That's what a church is. Anything less than that falls short of His divine purpose. Repent and believe!
