Christ is our wisdom as He embodies all the qualities of true wisdom and is the source of our righteousness before God.
The declaration in 1 Corinthians 1:30 states that 'Christ Jesus... has become for us wisdom from God,' highlighting that true wisdom is found in Him. Wisdom is not presented as an abstract doctrine but is inherently tied to a personal relationship with Christ. He is our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, showcasing that wisdom is not only about knowledge but entails living a life in alignment with God's will. When we understand that we are in Christ, believers are reckoned as wise because we are united to the one who fulfills all wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). Knowledge of Him is foundational for true wisdom, as we learn to seek first His kingdom and righteousness.
