What does it mean that wisdom is justified by her children?

Answered in 1 source

It means that true wisdom is validated by the lives transformed by its principles, evident in the fruit of believers.

The phrase 'wisdom is justified by her children' signifies that the wisdom of God is proven right through the lives it influences. Jesus highlighted the contrasting responses of different groups to the Gospel, showcasing that those who embrace Christ reflect the wisdom of God in their transformed lives. This wisdom produces 'children'—those who have believed and been changed through the message. Just as a tree is known by its fruit, believers showcase the validity of God's wisdom in their actions and character. True discernment is not about intellectual assent but rather is demonstrated through the fruits of faith and obedience.
