Study Notes
Understanding Wisdom
- Wisdom can be categorized into good (or divine) wisdom and bad (or fallen) wisdom.
- Wisdom manifests through three distinct tests: thought, speech, and action.
The Three Tests of Wisdom
-
Thought Process:
- Wisdom originates in the heart, influencing overall thinking patterns.
- The way one thinks is a fundamental indicator of their wisdom.
-
Speech:
- Thoughts generally precede words; thus, what a person says often reflects their wisdom.
- The correlation between thought and speech is emphasized in various scriptural texts, highlighting the importance of measured expression.
-
Actions:
- True wisdom is revealed through behavior; knowledge alone does not equate to wisdom.
- Effective wisdom transforms knowledge into thoughtful actions, demonstrating its practical application in life.
Key Insights
- Possessing information does not guarantee wisdom; wisdom involves heart, mind, and behavior in harmony.
