How do we know wisdom is true and from God?

Answered in 1 source

True wisdom is identified as pure, peaceable, and full of good fruits, directly reflecting God's nature as seen in James 3:17.

Wisdom that is true and from God displays certain characteristics as outlined in James 3:17. Firstly, it is pure, meaning it is free from contamination by false doctrine or sinful intentions. This purity points to God’s nature, highlighting that true wisdom aligns with truth and righteousness. Following purity, this wisdom is also peaceable, gentle, and approachable, embodying a spirit of mercy and good fruits. This description sets it apart from earthly wisdom, which is often filled with jealousy and selfish ambition. For believers, recognizing the fruits of this wisdom in their lives serves as confirmation of its divine origin.
