"The Wisdom of God vs The Wisdom of the World"


“The Wisdom of God vs The Wisdom of the World”



For since in the Wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.                         1 Corinthians 1:21



The world is made up of two very different types of WISDOM.  There is the WISDOM of GOD, and then there is the WISDOM of the WORLD.  GODLY WISDOM versus WORLDLY WISDOM.  Let’s look at both and YOU decide which type you believe would benefit you, especially with your ETERNAL DESTINY.  After all, our life, HERE, on this earth, is TEMPORARY, it will END, one day, and what we do with this EARTHLY LIFE, will determine where we will SPEND ETERNITY.



For those who are WISE in the things of the WORLD, they will RECEIVE their rewards for their WORLDLY WISDOM, in this life, and not in the LIFE they will have after DEATH.  WORLDLY WISDOM is mostly comprised of SELF-SEEKING, SELF-SERVING, SELF PRESERVATION, and in the end SELF-DESTRUCTION.   And MOST of the time, those who are STEEPED in WORLDLY WISDOM, think that God’s Plan for the SALVATION of mankind is FOOLISHNESS.  And they are prone to NOT BELIEVE in this PLAN or in the ONE who has the WISDOM to carry it out. They are then in the SELF-DESTRUCTIVE mode for their ETERNAL DESTINY, which will be ALL of ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, after you’re there. 



However, those who pursue GODLY WISDOM, their ETERNAL DESTINY is SECURED in JESUS CHRIST, and His SELFLESS act of REDEMPTION, the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE of His DEATH, and RESURRECTION for the SOULS of those who BELIEVE, and ACCEPT God’s Plan.  The Apostle Paul told the BELIEVERS in Corinth: “For the FOOLISHNESS of God is WISER than HUMAN wisdom, and the weakness of God is STRONGER than human STRENGTH.” (v 25)  And his message to them, is VERY APPLICABLE to the BELIEVERS, of TODAY. 



Those who HEAR the Word of God and respond POSITIVELY, to His Plan of SALVATION, will receive an ETERNAL DESTINY of HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS, because they are following the WISDOM of GOD, and they are LIVING by His WISDOM.  Their TRUST is in GODLY WISDOM and NOT the WISDOM of the WORLD.  The Word of God tells us: “Blessed are those who find WISDOM, those who gain UNDERSTANDING. (Prov. 3:13) And “Do NOT let WISDOM and UNDERSTANDING out of your sight, preserve SOUND JUDGMENT and DISCRETION. (Prov. 3:21)



And this SOUND JUDGMENT and DISCRETION will lead us to GODLY WISDOM, and an ETERNITY in HEAVEN.  If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to GOD, you are living in the realm of WORLDLY WISDOM, and your ETERNAL DESTINY is HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, after you’re there.  So, you NOW have the opportunity to CHANGE your DESTINY, by SEEKING GODLY WISDOM, and WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and TURNING TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  Then CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  And BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and start living with GODLY WISDOM, and SECURE your ETERNAL DESTINY in HEAVEN.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and COMING SOON!!!
