WISDOM: THE TRUE AND THE FALSE (James 3:13-18)
When James speaks about wisdom, he is not thinking of how much knowledge a man has, but how he lives his life from day to day. It is not the possession of knowledge but the proper application of it that counts. We have here a portrait of the truly wise man. Basically, this man is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is wisdom incarnate (Matthew 11:19; 1 Corinthians 1:30). The wise person is one who manifests the life of Christ, one in whom the fruit of the Spirit is evident (Galatians 5:22-23).
