Bible Question (short): Wisdom - Salvation in Christ? |
Question (full): Might James be addressing unbelievers here? After quite a study on the wisdom of God, it seems possible that the wisdom he notes is referencing salvation. See Job 28: 12-28; Prov 9:10; 1 Cor 1:18-31 and "you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus." 2 Tim 3:15 |
