Do we choose God’s wisdom over the world’s?

Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane waiting for the Roman soldiers to arrest him when he prayed that his disciples would be sanctified—made holy—by God’s word. That moment is all we need to understand the importance of God’s truth.

Trusting the historical, unchanging power and perfection of God’s word is what sets his children apart from the rest of the world. God’s word has the power to sanctify our lives and make us holy.

Our thoughts, words, opinions, and character are transformed by the truth of God. His word has the power and wisdom we need to purify our lives. When Jesus knew his life was ending, he prayed his disciples would understand what they needed most for their lives and ministry. We need to be made holy by God’s truth.

The Lord gives wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. He also gave us the power to choose his truth to be our truth and our path of sanctification.
