What does the Bible say about wisdom from above?

Answered in 12 sources

The Bible describes wisdom from above as pure, peaceable, gentle, and full of mercy, reflected in the character of Christ.

According to James 3:17-18, the wisdom that comes from above is characterized by purity, peace, gentleness, and mercy. This wisdom embodies the attributes of Christ, who is the ultimate wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:30). In contrast to earthly wisdom, which is fraught with self-deception and pride, the wisdom from above is sincere and leads to righteous living. This wisdom is not merely a concept to be studied but a person to be known, as all treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ (Colossians 2:3). To walk in this wisdom is to reflect the nature of Christ in our attitudes and actions.
