Unpacking wisdom biblically
The world often says wisdom is found in knowledge, success, wealth, or experience.
But Scripture points us somewhere far greater.
The Heidelberg Catechism (1563), Question 18, reminds us that Jesus Christ is made unto us wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:30–31).
True wisdom is not merely knowing more—it is knowing Christ.
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (Prov 1:7).
“Because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God—righteousness and sanctification and redemption.” (1 Cor 1:30)
If you are looking for wisdom, begin where the Bible begins: with reverence for God and faith in His Son—Jesus Christ our Saviour—who is our wisdom.
