THE WISDOM THAT IS FROM ABOVE (James 3:17) The wisdom that comes from God is: 1. PURE - In thought, word, and deed, it is clean. In spirit and body, in doctrine and practice, in faith and in morals, it is undefiled. 2. PEACEABLE - A wise man loves peace, and will do all he can to maintain peace without sacrificing purity. 3. GENTLE - It is forbearing, not overbearing; courteous, not crude. A wise man is a gentleman, respectful of the feelings of others. 4. WILLING TO YIELD - It means conciliatory, approachable, open to reason, ready to give in when truth requires it. It is the opposite of obstinate and adamant. 5. FULL OF MERCY AND GOOD FRUITS - It is full of mercy to those who are in the wrong, and anxious to help them find the right way. It is compassionate and kind. There is no vindictiveness in it. It rewards discourtesy with benevolence. 6. WITHOUT PARTIALITY - It does not produce favoritism. It is impartial in its treatment of others. 7. WITHOUT HYPOCRISY - It is sincere and genuine. It does not pretend to be other than it actually is.
