James 3:13-18 ~ Wisdom

These next points are negative wisdom and positive wisdom. The negative points show things that are not Christ-like in any way and the positive points show how we can please God and in using our wisdom. I hope these help you. Have a great day! ( these next points were taken from my Sunday school class)

Negative
  • earthly, sensual
  • devilish (unspiritual people)
  • world's wisdom, world view
  • envy, selfish, bitter, boasting, lying

Positive

  • Heaven (God)
  • peace-loving
  • gentle
  • submissive
  • merciful
  • good fruits
  • impartial
  • sincere
