The Wisdom from Above
13Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast in it or deny the truth. 15Such wisdom does not come from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.
17But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peaceable, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere. 18Peacemakers who sow in peace reap the fruit of righteousness.
Do you have humility and wisdom or are you bitter and have selfish ambition?
Bitterness and selfishness does not come from above, heed this warning; "but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic." It will result in disorder and every evil practice!
Examine the wisdom from above, it's pure, peaceable, gentle and accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
Examine the wisdom from below, it's earthly, unspiritual and demonic, full of bitter jealousy and selfish ambition, disorder and every evil practice.
Your heart condition will define you. Are you a peacemaker or peace-breaker?
Blessings, David
