God is wise and as such He is the Saviour of the world.
God's knowledge and wisdom can be perceived in the works and government of His hands. What can be perceived may not be perceived simply by being incapable of perceiving it for one reason or another. Fallen human beings not only cannot perceive rightly the knowledge and wisdom of God, they even have developed the wrong perception of His knowledge and wisdom.
Only God can fully perceive His own knowledge and wisdom. We who receive His revelation and are given the limited ability to perceive them must be contented to live with them out of trust in His love and mercy towards us.
He reveals that "Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption." (1Co. 1:30) In this fallen world, not to see that God is the Saviour is to miss the true knowledge and wisdom of God. When in eternity, we look at time, we can only say, "The only wise God our Saviour." (Jude 25)
Here in time, God's people "speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory." (1Co. 2:7) What is this "hidden wisdom" ordained "unto our glory"? "Our glory" speaks of heaven, our eternal inheritance. Knowing this "hidden wisdom" is to know how God saves a people for Himself. "The mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: to the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known, by the church, the manifold wisdom of God." (Eph. 3:9-10)
This "wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy." (Jas. 3:17) Is not this speaking about our salvation experiences? Not to know God as Saviour is a sure sign of the lack of the wisdom that is from above. By nature, fallen man does not know such spiritual things which are spiritually discerned. If you cannot follow what I am writing, you should "ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." (Jas. 1:5)
God must be wise. In what sense is He wise to you?
