Continuing our series on the book of James, we learn from James 3:13-18 that wisdom from above is proven by our conduct.

True wisdom calls for application, acting in ways that align with the fruit of righteousness. While worldly wisdom is revealed by a sinful lifestyle of envy and selfish ambition, heavenly wisdom is revealed by a godly lifestyle, which is pure, peace-loving, gentle, compliant, merciful, unwavering, sincere, and full of good fruit. This process comes about by our growth in sanctification, rooted in the grace of God.
