Wisdom
The Sound Heart
A healthy mind filled with wisdom is associated with a healthy body.
Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for Proverbs 14:30.
Walk in Him
“Walk” is the familiar New Testament term denoting the believer’s daily conduct. To walk in Christ is to live a life patterned after His. See Colossians 1:10; 4:5; Romans 6:4; 8:1,4; 13:13; 1 Corinthians 7:17; 2 Corinthians 5:7; 10:3; 12:18; Galatians 5:16,25; 6:16; Ephesians 2:10; 4:1,17; 5:2,8,15; Philippians 3:16-18; 1 Thessalonians 2:12; 4:1,12; 2 Thessalonians 3:11; 1 John 1:6,7; 2:6; 2 John 6; and 3 John 3,4.
Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for Colossians 2:6.
Complete in Him
Believers are complete in Christ, both positionally by the imputed perfect righteousness of Christ, and the complete sufficiency of all heavenly resources for spiritual maturity.
Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for Colossians 2:10.
All for His glory
This simply means to act consistently with who He is and what He wants.
Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for Colossians 3:17.
Opposite
Most of the Corinthian believers were the opposite of what Paul here admonished. They were extremely experienced in evil, but greatly lacking in wisdom.
Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for 1 Corinthians 14:20.
Wisdom and Understanding According to God
No amount of effort will yield God’s wisdom. It can’t be valued or found in the world (vv. 13,14). It can’t be bought for any price (vv. 15-19). The living can’t find it (v. 21), and neither can the dead (v. 22). One must revere God and turn from sin, and trust and obey.
Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for Job 28:12,20 and 28:28.
A brief life
Evaluate the use of time in light of the brevity of life.
Wisdom repudiates autonomy and focuses on the Lord’s sovereignty and revelation.
Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for Psalm 90:12.
