How do we know that God gives wisdom?

Answered in 1 source

We know God gives wisdom because He promises in Scripture that He will generously provide it to those who ask.

The assurance that God gives wisdom comes from James 1:5, which explicitly states that if anyone lacks wisdom, they should ask God, who gives generously and without reproach. This promise underscores God's character as a gracious giver. When we ask for wisdom, we must do so in faith, believing that He is eager to give it to us. Furthermore, this wisdom is not just any knowledge; it is the divine wisdom that comes from above, personified in Christ, who is both our righteousness and wisdom. The act of asking itself reflects our dependence on God’s grace, illustrating how true wisdom aligns with our understanding of grace.
