Wisdom Multiple Choice A or B

James has already spoken of wisdom in chapter 1 saying, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God…” (v.1:5). The kind of wisdom that comes from God is from above and is “…first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy” (v.3:17) . But there is another kind of wisdom which “…is earthly, sensual, demonic” (v.3:15). Wisdom from God above—will result in righteousness and peace and wisdom from this world below—will result in confusion and every evil thing. Sometimes we get caught up applying the wisdom from this world because of vanity, selfishness, and too much concern over the opinions of others. James wants to teach us the differences and the consequences of both so that we may choose wisely to walk in the wisdom from above.
