How Do I Get Wisdom?

Psalm 111:10  
The fear [reverence] of
the LORD is the
beginning of wisdom:
a good understanding
have all they that do
his commandments:
his praise endureth
for ever.

Jesus Christ said
He would give us
wisdom which no
one could contradict
or oppose.

Luke 21:15 
For I will give you a
mouth and wisdom,
which all your
adversaries shall not
be able to gainsay nor
resist.

James (Jesus's half-brother)
said that if we lack wisdom
to ask God and he will give
you what you need to know.


James 1:5  
If any of you lack wisdom,
let him ask of God, that
giveth to all men
liberally, and
upbraideth not; and
it shall be given him.

Please keep reading
for more insight into
getting wisdom.

God makes foolish the
wisdom of the world.

1 Corinthians 1:20  
Where is the wise? where
is the scribe? where is
the disputer of this
world? hath not God
made foolish the
wisdom of this world?

The wisdom of the world
is foolishness to God.

1 Corinthians 3:19  
For the wisdom of
this world is
foolishness with God.
For it is written, He
taketh the wise
in their own craftiness.

King David said that
he knew more than
his teachers because
he meditated on
(studied) God's Holy
Word.

Psalm 119:99 

I have more
understanding than
all my teachers: for
thy [God's]
testimonies are my
meditation. 

Wisdom from above
(from God in heaven) is
pure, peaceable,
gentle, easy to be
*entreated (*consenting
to grant what is
desired), full of mercy
and good fruits,
impartial, and
without hypocrisy.

James 3:17  
But the wisdom that is
from above is first
pure, then peaceable,
gentle, and easy to
be intreated, full of
mercy and good
fruits, without
partiality, and without
hypocrisy.

Job 28:28  
And unto man he said,
Behold, the fear
[reverence] of the
Lord, that is wisdom;
and to depart from
evil is understanding.

Proverbs 2:6  
For the LORD giveth
wisdom: out of his
mouth cometh
knowledge and
understanding.

Proverbs 2:7  
He [God] layeth up
sound wisdom for
the righteous: he is
a buckler to them
that walk uprightly.

Proverbs 9:10  
The fear of the LORD
is the beginning of
wisdom: and the
knowledge of the
holy is understanding.

Proverbs 15:33  
The fear of the LORD
is the instruction of
wisdom; and before
honour is humility.

God says don't put
your faith in the
wisdom of men,
but in His power.

1 Corinthians 2:5  
That your faith should
not stand in the
wisdom of men, but
in the power of God.

And if you do not yet know
how to go to heaven when
you die, here is how.

How Can I Get To Heaven?

How can I be saved 
from my sins and know
that I will go to heaven
when I die? God's Holy 
Word, the King James 
Bible, tells us how:

Agree with God in  
heaven that you are 
a sinner and need a 
Saviour. GOD SAYS 
WE ARE ALL 
SINNERS. But keep 
reading because 
there is Good News 
for you: 

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, 
and come short of the
glory of God;

Be willing to turn from 
your sin (repent). 

Acts 17:30  
And the times of this 
ignorance God winked 
at; but now commandeth 
all men every where to 
repent: 

Believe that Jesus 
Christ, the Sinless Son 
of God, shed his blood
on the cross to pay 
for your sins and 
mine; and that three 
days later He rose 
from the dead. 

Romans 10:9  
That if thou shalt confess 
with thy mouth the Lord 
Jesus, and shalt believe 
in thine heart that God 
hath raised him from 
the dead, thou shalt 
be saved. 

Repent of trusting in 
anything or anyone 
other than Jesus
Christ (i.e. baptism, 
good works, idols,
false gods, $/tithes, 
man-made church 
rules or traditions,
or religious 
ceremonies) to 
save you.

Titus 3:5
Not by works of
righteousness which we 
have done, but according 
to his mercy he saved us, 
by the washing of 
regeneration, and 
renewing of the Holy 
Ghost;

Jesus said that we do 
not get to heaven by our
good works (stuff we
have done). See verses
7:22 and 7:23 below!

Matthew
7:21 Not every one that 
saith unto me, Lord, 
Lord, shall enter into 
the kingdom of heaven; 
but he that doeth the 
will of my Father which 
is in heaven. 

7:22 Many will say to 
me in that day, Lord, 
Lord, have we not 
prophesied in thy 
name? and in thy 
name have cast 
out devils? and in 
thy name done 
many wonderful 
works? 

7:23 And then will I 
profess unto them, 
I never knew you: 
depart from me, ye 
that work iniquity. 

Accept God's Free 
Gift of eternal life 
through his Sinless 
Son, the Lord Jesus 
Christ. It is a free gift 
to you, but it cost Jesus
Christ his life! You do 
not have to work to 
earn a Gift - It is free!

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is 
death; but the gift of 
God is eternal life 
through Jesus Christ 
our Lord.

Ask Jesus Christ to be 
your personal Saviour 
and Lord of your life.

Romans 10:13 
For whosoever shall 
call upon the name 
of the Lord shall be 
saved. 

So, if you did that and
sincerely meant it,
then you are now a
Christian! Welcome
to the family. 

Romans 10:9  
That if thou shalt confess 
with thy mouth the Lord 
Jesus, and shalt believe 
in thine heart that God 
hath raised him from 
the dead, thou shalt 
be saved. 

And when you die, you 
will go straight to heaven
to be with Jesus Christ 
forever and ever! The
following Bible verse
is one of my favorites.
It gave me comfort when
I went through double
breast cancer surgery
for I knew that if I died
on the operating table
I would immediately be
in heaven with Jesus!
Knowing that is why I
no longer fear what 
comes after death. 
What freedom there is 
in knowing that.

2 Corinthians 5:8  
We are confident, I say, 
and willing rather to be 
absent from the body, 
and to be present with 
the Lord.

One note to all dear 
Catholics: The Catholic
church says that it is 
wrong to believe that 
you can know you are 
saved before you die. 
Please think about
this: God is a God of 
love. After all he sent
his Son to die for your
sins so you could be
with him in heaven for
eternity! That is love!
Why would a God of love
want you to worry all of
your life whether you will 
go to heaven or hell when
you die? God in heaven 
wants us to have peace 
and joy in this life as we 
live for him and draw 
others to him as their 
Saviour. Only a cruel 
God would want us 
worried and stressed 
about what comes after 
death. But GOD LOVES
YOU and wants you to 
have peace knowing that
you are saved now and 
can know now that you 
are going to heaven when
you die! Please trust your
loving heavenly Father's 
Holy Word (the King James
Bible) when God tells you 
that you will be with Him 
after death if you trusted
Jesus Christ as your 
Saviour!

And now that you have 
become a Christian, it
is important to learn how
to live a life that glorifies
God in heaven who gave
you the Gift of salvation.
