The document discusses how believers enjoy God's grace. It states that God saved and called believers not according to their works but according to His purpose and grace given in Jesus Christ before the world began. Believers were chosen by God before the foundation of the world to be holy, blameless, part of His family, redeemed, forgiven, and His workmanship. Believers are justified freely by God's grace through redemption in Christ and become triumphant and a new creation in Him.110313 ot vistas 17 proverbs seeking god's wisdom

The document contrasts the characteristics of wise people and fools. It provides several proverbs about fools that describe them as angry without cause, speaking without profit, changing without progress, inquiring without object, trusting strangers, and mistaking foes for friends. In contrast, wise people are said to profit more from fools by learning from their mistakes, while fools do not imitate the successes of the wise. The document also lists several verses from Proverbs chapter 1 that encourage listening to wisdom and instruction, honoring one's parents, avoiding bad friends, turning from foolishness, and warns that complacency can lead to destruction.Call of wisdom 01

The document provides an overview and analysis of key passages from the first chapter of the book of Proverbs. It discusses how Proverbs teaches about making right choices and avoiding wrong ones by listening to wisdom rather than folly. It notes that rejecting wisdom results in being "full with their own fancies" and relying only on one's own ideas or those of others. However, the chapter promises that those who listen to and dwell in wisdom will be secure and without fear.03 March 2, 2014, Proverbs 1;1-7, Seeking Wisdom's Way

It argues the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom because it means keeping God as the focus and center of attention.Glory Only In The Cross Of Jesus

Wisdom comes from God, not the world. Those who seek God's wisdom through prayer will find it is pure, peace-loving, gentle, submissive, merciful, and impartial. Heavenly wisdom produces peace and righteousness. In contrast, worldly wisdom stems from envy and selfish ambition, and results in disorder. Believers are called to live wisely according to God's standards.It's All Good - Romans 8:28

God's definition of good is conformity to his will in order to live with him eternally. Several verses in Romans chapter 8 qualify this, explaining that through the Holy Spirit, believers can realize God's goodness and strengthen their relationship with him. Specifically, the Spirit helps believers, intercedes for them, and those in Christ have God on their side. To experience God's goodness, one should be in Christ, focus their mind on spiritual things, communicate with God in prayer, and live according to his purpose.The Glory of the Cross - Cheyenne Church of Christ Presented on August 14 2011

This document provides guidance on living by faith based on lessons from Proverbs. It discusses several key points:
1. Living by faith means keeping God's law, which helps us distinguish right from wrong and understand justice. Those who forsake the law cannot make good decisions or understand God.
2. Living by faith applies to both the rich and poor. The poor have the same duties as the rich, and moral character is more important than wealth.
3. Parents should discipline children with correction and rebuke in order to shape good character, rather than allowing unlimited indulgence. Punishment is meant to benefit the child, not harm them.

God's love for humanity is described as a covenant - a binding agreement where God makes promises to his people. This covenantal love from God is unconditional, unfathomable, unchanging, unceasing, and unstoppable. It is motivated by God's very nature, which is love. The document urges responding to God's covenantal love with both fear of God and love of God, as fearing God without loving him can lead to legalism, while loving him without fearing can lead to disobedience. Jesus is the fulfillment as both Lord and Messiah, holding many roles to redeem and rule over his people.More Related Content
