00:00: In today's video I'll answer your question, what is the difference between wisdom and knowledge?
00:05: Then afterwards, as always, I'll share some helpful resources, so stick around until the end. Wisdom and knowledge, both reoccurring themes in the
00:21: Bible, are related but not synonymous. The dictionary defines wisdom as the ability to discern or judge what is true, right, or lasting.
00:31: Knowledge, on the other hand, is information gained through experience, reasoning, or acquaintance.
00:38: Knowledge can exist without wisdom, but not the other way around. One can be knowledgeable without being wise.
00:46: Knowledge is knowing how to use a gun. Wisdom is knowing when to use it and when to keep it holstered.
00:53: God wants us to have knowledge of Him and what He expects of us. In order to obey
00:58: Him, we have to have knowledge of the commands. But as equally important as having knowledge is having wisdom.
01:05: Knowing facts about God and the Bible is not all there is to wisdom. Wisdom is a gift from God.
01:11: James 1, verse 5 states, If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
01:21: God blesses us with wisdom in order for us to glorify Him and use the knowledge we have of Him.
01:28: The book of Proverbs is perhaps the best place in the Bible to learn of biblical wisdom. Proverbs 1, verse 7 speaks of both biblical knowledge and wisdom.
01:38: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
01:44: To fear the Lord is to start on the path to knowledge, and God can then begin to provide us with wisdom through Christ, who the
01:53: Bible says is wisdom itself. It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God, that is, our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.
02:05: 1 Corinthians 1, verse 30. Knowledge is what is gathered over time through study of the
02:11: Scriptures. It can be said that wisdom, in turn, acts properly upon that knowledge. Wisdom is the fitting application of knowledge.
02:21: Knowledge understands the light has turned red. Wisdom applies the brakes. Knowledge sees the quicksand.
02:28: Wisdom walks around it. Knowledge memorizes the Ten Commandments. Wisdom obeys them.
02:34: Knowledge learns of God. Wisdom loves Him. Want to learn more? Subscribe so you don't miss the next video!
