Knowledge vs. Wisdom: An Adventist Perspective

Knowledge and wisdom are distinct yet interconnected concepts vital to our spiritual journey. Knowledge refers to the accumulation of facts and understanding, particularly regarding God's Word and His principles. It serves as a foundation for our faith. Wisdom, however, is the application of that knowledge in real-life situations, allowing us to make sound decisions that align with God's will. While knowledge informs our understanding, wisdom guides our actions. Cultivating both is essential; we gain knowledge through study and prayer, and we seek wisdom from God to apply that knowledge in ways that honor Him and benefit others.

Did Jesus Preach to the Dead? Unveiling the Biblical Truth Behind the Mystery

In Christian theology, the events surrounding Jesus' death and resurrection hold deep significance, leading to various interpretations and discussions. One intriguing aspect is the belief that after His crucifixion, Jesus journeyed to the realm of the dead to preach and reveal Himself as the Messiah. This concept prompts essential questions about the nature of Christ’s mission and its implications for those who lived before Him. In this article, we will explore the biblical evidence for this claim, examining key scripture passages and the Adventist perspective. Join us as we uncover the truth behind this mysterious story and its relevance to our understanding of salvation and God’s grace for all humanity.

Is salvation a gift or a reward?

Salvation is a pure gift. I would like to quote Barclay in one of His statements, "Grace is a gift." Why? When we study the concept of gift in the theme of salvation, the apostle Paul understood it as a favor (Eph 2:8). The greek word Xaris (charis) some text translated it as a "charity" has many emphases. However, when we talk about salvation in its theological aspect we could never find a single verse that would support salvation as a reward. The bible is clear that we are saved by grace (chariti) through faith. I would like also to give emphasis that the term charis should be understood in the light of its context. Yes, not all charis should be translated as grace. But all of them are related to gifts.
