Hello to you,


Did you know the writer of James who was writing to the twelve tribes that were scattered abroad, mentioned that there are two types of wisdom?


The first type of wisdom is noted as earthly, sensual, and demonic (demon-like), this is seen in James 3:13-16.


Which it is noted that wherever selfish ambition, envy, bitterness, are also is there confusion and every evil thing are there.


“Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.”

‭‭James‬ ‭3:13-16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬



The second type of wisdom is noted as heavenly,

James 3:17-18.


It noted how the wisdom that is from above is


“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.”

‭‭James‬ ‭3:17-18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

No doubt you are familiar with wisdom personified in Proverbs 8 Matt, wisdom in that case was actually speaking about God's very own son Jesus.
