Top Highlights
“And hopefully we will also come to know more deeply the One who is wisdom personified, the Lord Jesus Christ, ‘who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption’ (I Corinthians 1:30). In Him are hidden ‘all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge’ (Colossians 2:3).” (Page 15)
“Proverbs makes numerous promises for those who will take seriously the study of proverbial truths. Proverbs 2:10–11 says wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will become pleasant to your soul. Discretion will preserve you and understanding will keep you. You will be happy (‘blessed,’ Proverbs 3:13), you will gain something more valuable than rubies (Proverbs 3:15), you will be equipped for a long and prosperous life (Proverbs 3:16), and you will be led into the ways of peace, life, and hope (Proverbs 3:17–18; 24:14). Anyone who takes seriously the wisdom of the book of Proverbs will experience these blessings, and many more, as a result.” (Page 12)
“In Proverbs we discover God’s perspective on money, on love, on relationships, on business, on morality, on government—on just about every aspect of life. In Proverbs we learn what God wants, what God thinks, who God is, how God responds, and what God expects. The proverbs contain truth about God and how we are to respond to Him in practical ways.” (Page 10)
“Faithful friends edify, but they don’t flatter (Romans 15:2). They are humble and demonstrate love (Ephesians 4:2). And most of all, they don’t always tell you what you want to hear. Instead, they are willing to rebuke you if necessary out of love for you and interest in your well-being (Proverbs 9:8).” (Pages 70–71)
