Knowledge is knowing information-it's in your mind
Wisdom is acting and living like you believe it-it's in your heart
Proverbs 4 shares about wisdom and the benefits and promises "she" will provide (so act like you believe- put feet to your knowledge)
If denial is refusing to give validity that your knowledge can change you, does that refusal to act out your knowledge make you rebellious or just make you a fool.
I'm relating this to the book "Forgotten God" by Francis Chan. In talking about Christians today, especially in the US, we have become fools or rebellious, (my words not Francis'.) We know the Holy Spirit is one of the triune God, the Trinity. (Matt. 28:18-20) We know when we accept Jesus as Savior, that the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in us. (Rom. 8:9) We know He has the power of God, (1 Cor. 2:4-5) so why do we not act on this knowledge? Why, if we have all this knowledge
in our minds...do we not take it to heart and become wise. We are children of the Most High King, we have the Holy Spirit as our Counselor, our guide and we don't, (fool) or won't (rebel) listen, obey or even acknowledge His presence in our daily lives? Fool or Rebel...hummm. It's time to stop living in the coma of complacency and wake up...If we live and act like the world, how will those around us ever see Jesus.
