Hooks from Proverbs |
|
Christ shows us what it means to live wisely. And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” – 1 Corinthians 1:30-31 |
We become wise when we let our lives be transformed by Christ’s Spirit. “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” – Romans 12:1-2 |
How do we go about developing the wisdom that finds its fulfillment in Christ? Do your Christian habits indicate that this is important to you? Why would we want to become like Christ? Is it foolish to live according to biblical guidelines in today’s world? How do you react to movies and television shows that portray Christians as mentally deficient? Do you find it humorous or tragic, and why? |
