Enjoy the Transmission of Christ as Wisdom from God to us in our Daily Experience

As believers in Christ, we are in Christ and Christ has become wisdom to us from God, both righteousness and sanctification and redemption; Christ has become a transmission of wisdom from God to us in a continuous way.

What is wisdom? Is being wise merely being aged and experienced in life? Wisdom is God Himself, for He is the only wise God.

We as believers in Christ do not have wisdom in and of ourselves, but when we contact God, Christ becomes wisdom to us from God.

When Christ came, He was actually wisdom itself; He expressed God, He was the embodiment of the wisdom of God, and in Him, we saw a wise exhibition of God in a man.

Christ as wisdom was justified by his works; His works showed what He is, what He was, and wisdom was expressed.

This One is now in us – He lives in us. The One who knew how to be and what to speak to the disciples, the people around Him, the Roman governor, the high priest, and the Pharisees, this One lives in us.

He not only was wise: in Christ all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden, and He is the wisdom of God embodied and expressed.

If we read the gospels, especially the gospel of Matthew and John, we will see the wisdom of God in Christ and as Christ; in these books we see the highest philosophy, much higher and deeper than anything that man could utter throughout the ages.

Human wisdom leads to being puffed up and thinking you are the best, and many times the so-called wise man do a lot of foolish things and make bad decisions.

But the wisdom of God in Christ is being transmitted to us, the believers in Christ, and we can receive a constant transmission of the wisdom of God to be wise in Him and by Him. Hallelujah!

The secret is our spirit; wisdom is in our spirit, while knowledge is in our soul.

Whenever we are in our mind, we may have the knowledge, but wisdom is not found there; when we turn to our spirit and contact Christ, He as the life-giving Spirit saturates our mind and soul to be our wisdom.

The One in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden, Christ, He is the mystery of God; if we read His words and look at His works, we will see the wisdom of God.

Since both wisdom and knowledge are stored up in Christ as a treasure, we can’t have wisdom or knowledge unless we have Christ.

But when we exercise our spirit and contact the Lord when we set our whole being on Him, Christ as the life-giving Spirit will saturate our spirit and our mind, and we will have wisdom and knowledge in our experience.

Hallelujah, Christ has become wisdom to us from God, and the One in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden is being transmitted to us in a continual way!

Christ has become the Wisdom from God to us, both Righteousness and Sanctification and Redemption

1 Cor. 1:30 is a key verse in the New Testament concerning wisdom; it shows that we believers in Christ are in Him, and Christ has become the wisdom from God to us – both righteousness and sanctification and redemption.

What we believers in Christ – as the new creation – are and have is of God, not of ourselves (Rom. 11:36).

Christ has become wisdom from God to us; this all-inclusive One has become wisdom to us from God in righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.

These three vital things in God’s salvation – righteousness for our past, sanctification for our present, and redemption for our future – are not merely things but a person, Christ Himself.

Christ is the wisdom from God to us – He is both our righteousness to justify us before God and make us righteous before Him, our sanctification for the present to impart His holy element into us and make us the same as He in His nature, and our redemption for the future by redeeming and transforming our mortal body in full.

This is the entire process of God’s organic salvation into which we have been brought through regeneration.

It is of God that we participate in such a complete and perfect salvation so that our entire being – our spirit, our soul, and our body – would be fully saved and made organically one with Christ as Christ becomes everything to us. Amen!

On one hand, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption cover three stages of God’s salvation for our past, our present, and our future, and they cover all the three parts of our being (our spirit, our soul, and our body).

On the other hand, righteousness and sanctification and redemption refer to three aspects of the nature of God’s salvation that we need to experience daily in our Christian living and work.

In our daily living and work we need Christ as righteousness to make us righteous, Christ as our sanctification for us to be sanctified, and Christ as our redemption so that we may be redeemed from all things other than God (1 Pet. 1:18).

Every day our living and work must be righteous, holy, and redeemed; even our entire being needs to be righteous, holy and redeemed.

By Christ as our righteousness, we have been justified by God so that we may be reborn in our spirit to receive the divine life (Rom. 5:18).

By Christ as our sanctification, we are being sanctified in our soul, that is, we are transformed in our mind, emotion, and will with His divine life (Rom. 6:19, 22; 12:2; 2 Cor. 3:18).

Christ as our redemption is for the redemption of our body, by which we will be transfigured in our body with His divine life to have His glorious likeness (Rom. 8:23; Phil. 3:21). What a full salvation we have!

What a Christ we have, the One who has become the wisdom from God to us!

What our Wise God has started by regenerating us in our spirit, He will also bring to a good conclusion and ending: He is daily transforming our soul, and He will glorify our whole body through transfiguration to redeem it in full! Hallelujah!

Hallelujah, we believers are in Christ and He has become the wisdom from God to us – both righteousness and sanctification and redemption! Thank You Lord for being our righteousness so that we may be justified by God to be reborn in our spirit and receive the divine life. Thank You Lord for being our sanctification for us to be sanctified in our soul, that is, for us to be transformed in our mind, emotion, and will with His divine life! Hallelujah, Christ as our redemption will redeem our mortal body to transfigure it with His divine life and make it into His glorious likeness! We praise You, our wise God, for what You have begun in us through regeneration in our spirit, You are accomplishing through transformation in our soul until we are transfigured even in our mortal body!

Enjoying the Transmission of Christ as Wisdom from God to us in our Daily Experience

1 Cor. 1:30 doesn’t say that Christ has become our wisdom or that Christ is wisdom for us; it says that Christ is wisdom to us from God.

“To us” implies a continual transmission, something that happens constantly.

Christ doesn’t just become our wisdom, and now we have Christ as our wisdom; Christ is the wisdom from God to us in a continual way for our daily experience.

“To us from God” in 1 Cor. 1:30 refers to something present, practical, and experiential in the way of transmission.

There is a transmission of Christ as wisdom from God to us for our daily experience.

If we look at our family life, we truly admit that we need Christ as wisdom to us from God; it takes wisdom for us to be a God-man parent, and it takes much wisdom to deal with and nurture each one of the children.

In our flesh and in the self we are ready to say and do something, but we need to learn to pause, contact the Lord, and let the transmission of Christ as wisdom from God to us come in; then, we can speak something or do something.

Again and again, as we are under the divine transmission, as we remain in this continual flow of wisdom from God to us, the Lord lives in us and His wisdom is expressed through us.

Wisdom in 1 Cor. 1:30 is equal to the way in John 14:6; Christ as our wisdom is Christ as the way in which we do things.

Christ as wisdom should unceasingly flow from God to us to be our present and practical wisdom in our experience.

We need to give ourselves to the Lord to learn this; we are all learning to enjoy the transmission of Christ as wisdom from God to us in a practical, present, and experiential way.

As we are about to do something, say something, or react to something, we can learn to stop and contact the Lord to receive the divine transmission of Christ as the wisdom from God to us.

There must be an unceasing flow from God to us, a flow of Christ to be our practical and present wisdom in our experience.

We are not here to judge or to be judged by God; we are here to open to Him and enter into another realm, for He knows how to care for us, how to foster our growth in life, and how to bring us on with Him.

He knows our thoughts, memories, imaginations, feelings, intentions, and longings; He is the Shepherd of our soul, we are dear to Him, and we just need to let Him be TO US from God!

Little by little and day by day, we will learn together, with one another and from one another, that we can open to Him and enjoy the continual transmission of Christ as the wisdom from God to us.

If we remain with the Lord to receive His dispensing (see John 15:4-5), He will be transmitted into us as the wisdom to handle various problems and matters.

Wherever we are in our human life, church life, and Christian life, the various problems and matters will get more and more difficult and challenging, so that we may experience Christ as wisdom for God’s delight.

We shouldn’t be afraid of what lies ahead of us both personally and corporately but rather, we should remain in the transmission from God to us and we will get what we need.

In the divine transmission, we will be silent when we need to be silent, and we will know what to speak when we need to speak.

If we are one with the Lord and receive His dispensing, we will experience and enjoy Him as our wisdom day by day and hour by hour (1 Cor. 6:17).

Lord Jesus, we open to the divine transmission of Christ as the wisdom from God to us. Keep us in the transmission of Christ as wisdom from God to us in our daily experience in a present and practical way. We want to learn, Lord, to open to You and allow You to flow in us to be our practical and present wisdom in our experience. We give ourselves to You to learn to turn to You, receive the divine transmission, and have Christ as our wisdom in a continual way, day by day and hour by hour. Keep us with You to receive the divine dispensing so that Christ may be transmitted into us as the wisdom to handle all the problems and matters in our daily life. Oh Lord, we want to be one with You and receive Your divine dispensing so that we may experience and enjoy You day by day and hour by hour!
