The sermon titled "Priceless Wisdom" by Don Bell focuses on the nature and significance of divine wisdom as presented in Job 28. The main theological topic addressed is the contrast between earthly treasures and the superior value of wisdom, asserting that true wisdom cannot be found in material riches. Key arguments emphasize that earthly riches cannot fulfill the deepest needs of the human heart, encapsulating Job's question, "Where shall wisdom be found?" Scripture references include Job 28:12-28, emphasizing that wisdom is not found among men or in nature but is rooted in a proper relationship with God—the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Job 28:28). The practical significance of this teaching highlights the necessity of seeking divine wisdom through Christ, who embodies the wisdom of God, thereby encouraging believers to prioritize their spiritual understanding over worldly pursuits.
“You can find gold, you can find silver, you can find precious stones. But where shall wisdom be found?”
“The fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding.”
“Oh, the wisdom that makes a man wise unto salvation in Christ has never been found in any created being.”
“God made Christ unto us wisdom. Wisdom unto us.”
The Bible teaches that wisdom is found in the fear of the Lord, as exemplified in Job 28.
Job 28:12-28, Proverbs 9:10, 1 Corinthians 1:30
