Proverbs: Day 8

1 Cor. 1:30
And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

Eph. 1:17
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him,

Col. 3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

Proverbs 8

This chapter expounds on many of the blessings of wisdom. The concluding verses (35-36) read;

For whoever finds me finds life
and obtains favor from the Lord,
but he who fails to find me injures himself;
all who hate me love death.

Clearly there are gospel implications all over the place in this chapter. We recognize that the wisdom we seek, the wisdom that brings life, is the very wisdom of Christ.

Those who are in Christ have life.
