Introduction God is majestic & great ! Omniscient, omni-potent, omnipresent! Great knowledge and/or great power does not necessarily make one great and majestic. God is great and majestic because His omniscience and omnipotence are ruled by His infinite wisdom : Job 12:13; 36:5; Dan. 2:20; Rom. 16:25, 27

Introduction True biblical wisdom links intelligence and shrewdness to the right motive! “Wisdom is the power to see, and the inclination to choose, the best and highest goal, together with the surest means of attaining it. Wisdom is, in fact, the practical side of moral goodness. As such, it is found in its fullness only in God. He alone is naturally and entirely and invariably wise.” (J. I. Packer, Knowing God, p. 90) Definition of wisdom: 3 key words… sophia: wisdom (spiritual or worldly). sunesis: “understanding, intelligence,” “suggests quickness of apprehension, the penetrating consideration which precedes action.” (1 Cor. 1:19). phronesis: “understanding, prudence,” i.e., a right use of phren, “the mind,” (“wisdom” in Lk. 1:17). Biblical wisdom is more than intelligence, knowledge, shrewdness or craftiness.

Knowing God (9): The Wisdom of God 1 Timothy 1:17

Expressions of God’s wisdom Creation: Gen. 1:31-2:1 Scheme of redemption: Gen. 3:15; 12:1-3; Gal. 3:24; Eph. 1:7-10 People’s lives: Gen. 12:10-20; 20:1-11; 16:1-2; 17:17-18; 16:4-7; Heb. 11:13, 16; Gal. 3:29; 1 Tim. 1:13, 15; 2 Cor. 11:5; 12:7 Gospel: 1 Cor. 1:18-2:5; Rom. 1:16; 2 Kgs. 5; Jer. 10:23; Prov. 3:5; 14:12 The Wisdom of God

Applying God’s wisdom A realization of what wisdom is NOT. Learn the lessons on wis- dom taught in Ecclesiastes: Eccl. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12; Job 30:20-21; 31:35; Isa. 40 Take steps to lay hold of wisdom: Psa. 111:10; Job 28:28; Prov. 1:7; 15:33; Rom. 1:20-29; Deut. 10:17; Job 42; Psa. 119:98-99; Col. 3:16; Jas. 1:23-25; 2 Tim. 3:15-17; Eph. 3:4; 1 Tim. 4:13; 2 Tim. 2:15; 2 Pet. 1:5; Psa. 119:15, 48, 78, 148; 1 Tim. 4:15; Phil. 4:8; Heb. 5:14; 1 Jn. 2:3-4; Jn. 14:15 The Wisdom of God

Applying God’s wisdom We must bear the fruits of wisdom in our lives: 2 Pet. 1:3; Rom. 16:27; 1 Jn. 5:3; Col. 3:17; 1 Pet. 4:11; Eccl. 12:13-14 The Wisdom of God

Conclusion Do you desire the “wisdom of the world” or the “wisdom of God”? Prov. 4:5-10; Psa. 110:10; 90:12 The first step to true wisdom is obeying the gospel of Christ! Hear: Rom. 10:17 Repent: Acts 17:30 Believe: Heb. 11:6 Baptism: Acts 2:21; 22:16 Confess: Rom. 10:10; Acts 8:37 Faithfulness: Col. 1:21-23 The Wisdom of God
