Christ made unto Me Wisdom

Christ Made Unto Us Wisdom

Redemption is in the realm of the spirit. It is supernatural. It is beyond human reason to understand, without Revelation Knowledge to assist it. When the Word tells us that Christ was made unto us wisdom, we understand that He was made unto us wisdom as He was made unto us righteousness, so that we are righteous in the Father’s presence.
His Redemption is made unto us, so that we stand before the Father perfectly free from Satan and his works. Christ is made unto us Sanctification, so that we are God’s separated ones.

By our accepting Christ as Saviour, and crowning Him as the Lord of our lives, we are separated from the world’s dominion and the things of the world. When we accept Christ as Saviour and confess Him as our Lord, that automatically makes Jesus our wisdom. We learn this as our minds are renewed through the Word. It becomes a natural thing for us to trust in this new kind of wisdom. This wisdom of God was never enjoyed by natural man except on special occasions. God gave to Solomon wisdom. He gave to Joshua wisdom. It was a special act of grace; but today, He is made wisdom to every member of the body of Christ.

Every recreated man or woman legally is a partaker of this wisdom. They may never know it and never use it, just as many have received righteousness and have never utilized the benefits from it, but this does not nullify the fact of our having wisdom.
‘This is the heart of it: every New Creation has the legal right to this wisdom. It belongs to him. He can use it whenever the need arises. How can that wisdom be available? Through the Word. You meditate in the Word, actually live in the Word, and the Word will come to life for you and in you. This means that the Word is acted out in your daily life. You do the things that the Word tells you to do. You live in the Word and meditate in the Word.

You get so that you think in the Word. Your life is blended now, with the Logos, this Living Word. This Word contains the wisdom of God. It is the wisdom of God. It tells you what to do at every crisis. The Spirit will make real to you what you should do. This means a God-dominated thought life, a God-dominated physical life. You will go, you will come, you will speak as the Spirit gives you utterance. There is no limit to your ability. He imparts wisdom to those who yield themselves to His Lordship, just as God is love and God is light.

Light is wisdom. To walk in love means to walk in wisdom. If we walk in love there will be no more jangling, bitterness or unkindness; for this kind of wisdom, James tells us, “is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without doubtfulness or partiality.” (marginal rendering It is without hypocrisy. It bears the fruit of righteousness. It leads in the paths of peace. Can’t you see that the fruit of wisdom will make our lives beautiful and Jesus-like? The fruit of wisdom is the fruit of love, for Christ is made unto us wisdom and love.

You can see there will be no bitterness, no jealousy, no hatred, no slander, no selfish taking advantage of others, but each one filled with this wisdom will walk in the highest realm of the love life. You understand that the Holy Spirit came to give to man God’s ability. He could not give man God’s ability under the First Covenant because they were natural men, but now the recreated man may have God’s ability. God’s very life is in him. The Holy Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead is in him. God’s nature is love, and God’s love always walks in wisdom. Every step outside of love is a step in darkness and selfishness.

Wisdom, after all, is the new kind of love dominating us, for love breaks no laws; love commits no crimes. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the heart-dream of the Father for man. James tells us how to get wisdom. The Epistle of James was written to Sense-knowledge believers. (There had to be a message especially for them.) James 5:13-18 tells the Sense-ruled believer how to get his healing. Peter tells us that the believer is already healed. “By His stripes ye were healed.” 1 Peter 2:24.

James is talking to those who are walking by sight, by feeling, by what they hear. They are walking in the realm of the senses. They have to have the elders come and pray for them. They must hear the elders’ prayer. They must feel the elders’ hands upon their brow… then they believe. James 1:5-7 “If any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord; a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.”

You can see that he is not talking to a believer who has entered into his inheritance. This does not match up with Eph. 1:3, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.” There we see the believer who has entered into all his privileges, walking in all the fulness of the wisdom of Christ. This one to whom James refers is walking in sense knowledge. His faith ebbs and flows. The babe in Christ is not overlooked. He is yet carnal; that is, he is ruled by the senses, he walks as a common man. The world pleasures have to satisfy him, he has not yet reached a place where he is satisfied with the Lord. In great grace, the Lord says to him, “If any of you lack wisdom …”

I would that all could understand this. Wisdom belongs to the believer. It is not a problem of faith. It is one who is living as though he were out of Christ that lacks wisdom; and having no sense of righteousness, no sense of his relationship, he is driven now by his great need to pray for wisdom. He is trying to exercise faith for this wisdom. He does not know that all that Christ did and is today belongs to him. What belongs to him requires no faith to enjoy.

Not knowing that the riches of grace are his, and that he is blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ, he comes in his simplicity of ignorance and prays for faith. We always need faith when we pray for something that does not belong to us, and we are not sure of getting it; but we do not need faith for a thing that we already possess, something that already belongs to us. Let the babe still pray for faith, but you who are mature do not need to, for Jesus is your faith. He was made unto you faith. It is so important that the heart grasp this clearly, for wisdom belongs to you as much as Jesus belongs to you, as much as His intercession belongs to you. Jesus’ intercession belongs to you.

He ever lives to make intercession for you. It is not a problem of your faith, it is a problem of your acting on the Word and enjoying the privileges that belong to you.
As long as you pray for faith, it indicates that the thing you are praying for does not belong to you, and you are trying to make God give you something that is not yours. But, all that Christ is, is yours. All He did is yours. All He will do tomorrow is yours. It is not a problem of faith. John 1: 16, “Of His fulness have we all received, and grace upon grace.” You have received of His fulness. Whether or not you have enjoyed what you have received, is not the problem. It is yours. It is set to your account. It is more than that, it is in you. The problem that confronts you, is to learn to take your place as a son, and enjoy the fulness of the riches of His grace. It all belongs to you!
