- Description
- Goldsworthy preaches on the theme of wisdom from Proverbs 1:1. Using the umbrella term ‘proverb’ (marshal), Proverbs 1:1 reveals the book’s ultimate purpose and message for its readers. The entire book of Proverbs instructs the wise on the way of wisdom. The fear of the Lord is viewed by Proverbs as the beginning of wisdom/knowledge. Proverbs should not merely be viewed as human anecdotes on wise living. When it refers to Solomon’s proverbs, the importance of such an identification lies in a theological understanding of the significance of Solomon’s rule as God’s blessed king. The fear of the Lord relates to the fulfilment of God’s promises to His people. Wisdom is both the gift of God in the revelation of His word and the human task of learning from experience in the light of God's wisdom. For the Christian minister, the misuse of teaching wisdom uncoupled from the gospel produces unnecessary obstacles and hindrances for the church.
