How does God's wisdom differ from the wisdom of the world?

Answered in 1 source

God's wisdom is revealed through His Spirit and centers on Christ, unlike the temporary wisdom of the world.

In 1 Corinthians 2, Paul articulates the contrast between the wisdom of God and the wisdom of the world. The wisdom of this world does not recognize God and leads to folly. Conversely, the wisdom of God is revealed by His Spirit and centers on the mystery of Christ and His gospel. This wisdom speaks of salvation that cannot be fathomed by human understanding and is only discernible through spiritual revelation. The natural man finds the things of God to be foolishness, while the spiritual man understands them. Therefore, Christians are called to seek divine wisdom that is rooted in God's truth rather than the often deceptive wisdom presented by human institutions.
