“Through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord…His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness” (2 Peter 1:2-3).
This is a precious truth that is often forgotten by believers today. We may try to get wisdom and guidance for our Christian pathway from other sources, such as psychology, books written by men, or from various kinds of counselors. However, from this verse we learn that there is not one thing that we need in order to live in this world for God’s glory, that is not found in the knowledge of God, and in His Son Jesus Christ.
It is true that we may have to learn different things from the knowledge available in this world, such as training for a particular career. But anything that concerns life and godliness cannot be found in the wisdom of this world. No, the Apostle Paul told the Corinthians that “God made foolish the wisdom of this world” (1 Corinthians 1:20). God’s wisdom is not just an improvement on man’s wisdom; it is the exact opposite of it. If we learn more of Christ, we will have all we need to walk the pathway of faith.
