How does grace relate to wisdom according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is foundational to wisdom as it is only by God's grace that we are given the ability to seek and know wisdom through Christ.

The relationship between grace and wisdom is crucial in understanding the nature of God's dealings with His people. Grace precedes faith and opens our hearts to seek wisdom. Solomon's desire for wisdom in 2 Chronicles 1 demonstrates that God’s grace is what prompts our requests for understanding. As the preacher noted, it is not our wisdom or efforts that merit salvation but rather God's grace in giving us a heart to desire Him, which includes asking for Christ’s wisdom. In this context, grace is not only the means by which we are saved but also the means through which we gain insight into our need for Christ, who is our wisdom.
