I Corinthians 2:13 says, “We also speak these things, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit.” This makes it abundantly clear that the wisdom of God is not something that is acquired by human understanding.
The natural pursuit of knowledge does not impart spiritual wisdom to a man. Though he may be wise in the ways of the world, his ‘human wisdom’ will avail him nothing in the realm of the eternal. The insight that can promote a man’s interests in life, accrue nothing to his spiritual account.
Because we were designed for eternity, there is a longing deep within us that will remain unsatisfied if all we do is toward the end of our temporal advancement. We are created for fellowship with the Holy One and unless and until we direct our endeavors toward Him, we cannot be spiritually wise.
If, however, we apply ourselves to the things of the Lord, we have His assurance that the One He has sent, the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, will teach us all things (John 14:26). It is those things taught to us by the Holy Spirit that shall illumine our eyes to see the things that matter not only in time but in eternity.
