It is foolish of us to think we can attain true wisdom without the knowledge of God. It is even more foolish to think we can attain knowledge outside of God’s influence in our lives. Proverbs 2:6 says, For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. Without knowledge and understanding we cannot have God’s wisdom. It is through our knowledge, understanding, and relationship with God that we have true wisdom and can apply it in our lives, and in the lives of others.

Everything in our lives can be considered a learning experience if we approach it the right way. It is ok to fail and it is ok to acknowledge to God that we need Him because we are imperfect and lack wisdom. Proverbs 1:7 says, The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. Only a fool would think they are ok without God’s influence and leading in their lives. Let us not be fools. Let us accept God’s wisdom and discipline to make us who we were created to be.

In the third letter from John, he writes to Gaius who is a prominent Christian in the Christian Church. John explains in 3 John 1:4 that Joy comes from the knowledge of the truth and walking with God in that truth: I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. Let us all find joy, peace, and contentment from walking with God regardless of our circumstances.

God’s main concern is that we love one another the way He loves us. 2 John 1:6 says:  And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love. If we are obedient to the Father, then we will love others. Everything we do should be in love as a reflection of His love for us.

The way we know our eternity is secure is through salvation that can only come through Christ Jesus. 1 John 5:12 says, He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. Once we have Christ living in us, we can rest assured of our salvation.

Just like a parent loves their child before the child even knows what love is, God loved us first as well. 1 John 4:19 says: We love because he first loved us. We will know what true love looks like when we allow God’s love to reflect through us.

Sin is sin, there is no getting around it. And when we sin, we live as though there is no right or wrong. 1 John 3:4 says: Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. It is one thing to sin, it is something completely different to continue sinning. We all sin, but we can not hide from continual sin and act as though it is normal. When we sin, we must confess our sin and work towards sinning no more.

If we are not willing to act like one of God’s children then we must question whether we really are one of His children. 1 John 2:4 says, The man who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. Obedience is the reflection of who we are in Christ.

“The proof is in the pudding.” This is one of my favorite sayings. The truth finds it’s way to the surface based on the results of our actions. 1 John 1:6 says, If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. Our actions toward God are the proof of our love for Him. If we walk with Him, it will be apparent in all we do, say, and feel.
