What Does The Wisdom Of God Profit You?

Think about it! Prov 3:13 Happy is the man
that finds wisdom, and the man that gets understanding.
Ecc 7:11-12; 9:16-18 The
wisdom of God is His Word.
As we tread the path of wisdom (complete
subjection to God and His Word) we discover that wisdom’s ways are ways of
pleasantness and all wisdom’s paths are peace.
I John 5:3 His commandments
are not grievous. Ps 19:11 In keeping them there is great reward.
What does it profit us to keep God’s
Word?
Col 2:6 Ponder this command
diligently, Satan is deceiving many today by leading them to suppose that they
are trusting in the finished work of Christ while their hearts remain unchanged
and self still rules their lives.
Ps 119:155; I John 2:4; Luke 6:46;
James 1:22 We feed on the Word when we personally appropriate (to take
for one’s property), masticate (to chew), and assimilate (to absorb) into our
lives what we hear or read.
Luke 12:47; II Tim 3:7 One of
the prominent characteristics of the perilous times. People hear one
preacher after another, attend one conference after another, read one book
after another, listen to one tape after another, and never do more than store
knowledge but don’t allow it to make a change. (Spiritual Dropsy)
Titus 1:1; Mic 6:8; Ecc 12:13-14;
John 15:14
1. A man profits from God’s
Word as He realizes God’s demands on Him.
2. A man profits from God’s
Word when He discovers how entirely and how sinfully he has failed to meet
God’s demands.
3. A man profits from the Word
when he realizes God has provided grace to His people in order that they can
meet His demands. Col 3:23
4. We profit from the Word
when we not only see it as our duty to obey God, but when we come to love it
and do it that’s better for us. Ps 112:1; 119:97, 127
5. Profits when a person is
yielded to all God’s commandments- partial obedience is no obedience at all.
6. We profit when the soul is
moved to pray earnestly for grace.
7. We profit from the Word
when we are enjoying the reward of obedience.
I Tim 4:8 Godliness is
profitable unto all things. I Peter 1:21 Purifies our souls.
Isa 59:2; Jer 5:25
By obedience we obtain precious and
intimate manifestations of Christ. John 14:21
He that hears My commandments and
keeps them, he it is that loves Me: and He that loves Me shall be loved of My
Father and I will love Him and will manifest Myself to Him. (Praise God)
