Test of Godly Wisdom

Godly wisdom and worldly wisdom oppose each another. Our motivation, posture, and fruit will tell us what type of wisdom we’re seeking and walking in.

Test of Works

Faith without works is not a genuine, living faith but a dead or lifeless “faith.” Our faith in Jesus is proven genuine when our lives reflect the faith we claim to have.

Test of Partiality

We cannot “love our neighbor as ourselves” while showing favoritism toward only those who are like us. God shows no partiality, and neither should we.

The Exclusivity of Christianity

Christianity is, in fact, exclusive in that Jesus is the only way of salvation. Yet Christianity is also inclusive in that this salvation is available to all who desire it through trusting and believing in Jesus.

Baptized in Christ

When Jesus took on flesh to save us, He unashamedly identified Himself with us in the process. Through baptism, we unashamedly identify ourselves with Him.

The Sacrifice

Abraham’s willingness to give up his only son, Isaac, was a foreshadow of God’s willingness to give up His only Son, Jesus, so that we may have life. It’s a picture of the gospel in the Old Testament.

The Promise

God’s reassurance of His covenant with Abraham and the eventual birth of Isaac show us that God keeps His promises. We may not know exactly when a promise will be answered, but we can be certain that His promise will come true.
