What is biblical wisdom? The Bible gives three very different answers to that question: First, wisdom is the best possession possible, so everyone should "get wisdom"! Second, wisdom is God's domain, which no one can understand, so the only wise path is to fear him. Third, Jesus the Messiah is God's wisdom alive. He is co-wise with God and reveals God's wisdom. We can access his wisdom by living as he lived. One lesson all of the wisdom writers agree upon is that wisdom is not about being smarter than everyone else but about having good character. The wise display their wisdom in humility and good deeds.
