Answered in 1 source
Wisdom in service to God is vital as it enables believers to fulfill their roles effectively in building His church and advancing His kingdom.
In Exodus 35, we see that wisdom is not merely knowledge but a divinely imparted skill and understanding necessary for actualizing God’s instructions regarding the tabernacle. The wise-hearted demonstrated their preparedness by applying skills given by God to serve Him. Similarly, in the New Testament, believers are called to utilize their God-given wisdom and gifts for the edification of the church. The importance of wisdom lies in its ability to guide actions, decisions, and service to be in alignment with God’s will, showcasing His glory and grace through the church as a living testimony of His kingdom on earth.
