How do we know that Christ is central to the message of Proverbs?
Answered in 1 source
Christ is central to the message of Proverbs as all scripture ultimately testifies of Him and displays His redemptive glory.
The Gospel is fundamentally about Christ, and every part of Scripture, including Proverbs, reflects His glory and honor. When engaging with biblical texts, it is essential to look for the redemptive narrative that points to Christ's work—His glory in regeneration, His righteousness, and ultimately the salvation He offers. Proverbs, often viewed as a collection of wise advice, must be seen through the lens of the Gospel. When we read about the virtuous woman or any figure in Scripture, we should seek how they connect to the person and work of Jesus Christ, affirming that if this connection is absent, we miss the true message of the Gospel.
