Wisdom is the application of knowledge toward a good purpose
Wisdom is not raw shrewdness or smartness Lk 16:1-8;
Wisdom and knowledge are treated separately in the Bible, yet remain in close relation Dan. 2:20- 23; I Cor. 12:8, 12;

God is Longsuffering
THE NATURE OF GOD’S LONGSUFFERING
It means that God is slow to anger and restrained in temper Neh. 9:17; cf. Isa. 30:18;
It is God’s waiting love, or patience in the face of provocation to judgment. Dt 9:7; 30:1-14;

It is God’s forbearance that allows Him to persist with offered forgiveness Matt. 18:21‐35;

GOD’S JUSTICE
A holy God governs His universe according to His righteous will, statutes, and ordinances Ps. 89:14; Isa. 9:6‐7; Jer. 23:5; Job 37:22‐23;
The preservation of God’s righteousness in His kingdom requires
God as judge Ps. 75:7; II Tim. 4:1, 8; Rev. 19:11; John 5:22, 26‐27; Acts 17:31;
God’s justice Ps. 82:1‐4; cf. 89:14;
God’s judgment Rev 16:7; Rev. 19:1‐2; cf. Ps. 19:9; 103:6; 119:7, 30, 75, 160;
God’s justification Is 53:11; Ro 4:5; 3:24;
Through justice, God perpetuates and vindicates His righteousness, restrains unrighteousness, and thus upholds His moral standards in the universe Rom. 2:16; cf. 1:18: 2:2‐3;
The justice of God in operation Rom. 1:18, 24, 26‐28; 2:16; 14:10; Acts 10:42; 17:31;
It is by means of His just judgments
God has made just moral declarations called His judgments, laws, statutes, commandments, precepts, testimonies, word Rom. 7:12; cf. Psa.119:1‐176;
God has codified His righteousness and engraved His justice:
Objectively, upon two tables of stone Ex. 20:1‐17; 34:1; Deut. 5:8‐21; Ps. 147:19‐20; Matt. 5:1‐7:29;
Subjectively, upon all human hearts, but especially those of the Gentiles Rom. 2:14‐15;
It is by means of His distributive justice, both positively and negatively Is. 3:10‐11; cf. Rom. 2:5‐8; I Cor. 3:11‐15;
God’s positive, remunerative, vindicative justice I Pet. 2:14; Is 41:10;
So God’s justice establishes peace, deliverance, the vindication and upholding of the righteous Ps. 85:8; 97:10;
God awards, not on the basis of obedience that seeks a merited reward, but according to the obedience of faith Deut. 7:9, 12‐13; Psa. 58:11; Rom. 1:1‐5; 16:25‐27; Matt. 25:14‐30; II Cor. 5:10 Ro 9:30-33;
God’s negative, retributive, punitive justice
God does withhold blessing because of sin Mt 25:46; Lk 16:24;
God does separate Himself from sinners Is 59:2; Mt 13:42;
The righteousness and justice of God are at the heart of the Christian gospel Romans 1:17; 2:13; 3:4‐5, 20‐30; 4:2‐13, 22, 25; 5:1, 9, 16‐21; 6:13‐20; 8:10, 30; 9:30‐31; 10:3‐10; 14:17; Gal. 1:6‐9;
The justice of God communicated
The justice of God is administered not only directly but also indirectly by means of human agency, which at times is unjust Gen. 18:25; Rev. 20:11‐15; Ps. 82:1‐4;
The human agency of Israel Lev. 11:44; Is 56:1; Jer. 22:1‐3; cf. 7:1‐7; 21:11‐12; Amos 5:21‐24; Micah 6:6‐8; Zech. 7:8‐10;
The human agency of civil government Prov. 25:2‐5; I Pet. 2:13‐14; cf. Rom. 13:1‐7;
The human agency of the corporate Church Heb. 3:13; Tit.1:7‐9; cf. Matt. 5:13‐16; Gal. 6:10; I Thess. 5:15;
The human agency of the individual Christian I John 2:29; 3:7; Tit. 2:12; Amos 8:4‐5;
Christian justice must not be confused with humanistic justice or expedient political justice that ignores the righteousness of God Matt. 5:16; Phil. 4:8;
Christian justice is a reflection of the biblical Christ and his righteousness, which is the righteousness of God His Father Is 9:7; I Cor. 1:30; I Pet. 2:21;
Christian justice is that promoted in the Christian’s society II Cor. 5:14;

Children of God, with the likeness of God, are to manifest the benevolence of God to the animal world Luke 5:5; 24:41‐43;
Nevertheless, it is to be expected that the Christian will treat the animal world with tender care Dt 5:24; Pr 12:10; Luke 24:41‐43;
By way of application the Christian benevolence that the Word of God Genesis 1:27‐30;
Benevolence was to be shown to the needy Hebrew Deut. 15:7‐8, 15; Ps. 145:16;
Benevolence was to be shown to the needy stranger Deut. 10:18‐19; 24:19-22;
The Church is to be likewise motivated by Jesus Christ’s redemption from bondage to sin and darkness in providing for the poor and needy Gal 6:10; Eph 4:23;
Jesus Christ’s teaching on benevolence Matt. 5:43‐45; Leviticus 19:18; Luke 10:25‐37; 1 Tim 1:15;
The Christian is to give priority to showing benevolence toward all believers since charity begins at home Col. 3:12‐14; cf. Gal. 6:10; I Tim. 3:4‐5;
The Christian is to show benevolence to all men Mt 6:45; Isaiah 9:1‐2; 42:6; 49:6; 51:4; 60:1‐3; Mt 15:26; Matt. 15:27‐28; cf. John 4:7‐42; 12:20‐33;

GRACE OF GOD
The distinctive nature of God’s gracious character
His steadfast faithfulness and lovingkindness that confronts man’s unfaithfulness and ungodliness
Neh. 9:17; cf. Ex. 34:6‐7; Ps. 103:8‐11; Jonah 4:2; Gen 6:8; Ps. 45:2; 22:11;
In the New Testament Rom. 3:24; cf. 4:4‐5; 5:15; Eph. 2:8‐9; Titus 2:11; Jer. 31:31‐34; 32:36‐40; Ezek. 37:24‐28; Heb. 13:20;
Grace is not merely God’s love in the face of man’s indifference or supposed neutrality Col. 1:21‐22; Rom. 5:1‐2, 6‐8; Eph. 2:1‐9; Ps. 2:1‐3;
There is the grace of God the Father which is mediated to sinners through His gracious Son Rom.
3:23‐24; cf. Acts 20:24, 32; Rom. 5:15; Philem. 3;
There is the grace of God the Son which is actively manifest in his earthly condescension 2 Cor 8:9;
There is the grace of God the Holy Spirit John 15:26; Heb 10:29;
Grace is God’s love for sinners Eph. 1:5, 9, 11;
“Being justified freely [as a gift] by His grace” Rom. 3:24; cf. John 15:25;
However, God’s grace is not capricious or fickle, but according to holy wisdom Eph. 1:5, 8‐9; Rom. 3:24‐26; I Cor. 1:30;
Therefore, grace is love that is purposeful, intentional, willful, steadfast, the emphasis being placed on God’s volition and loyalty to His promise Jas. 1:17‐ 18; cf. John 3:16; Rom. 11:29; I John 4:10;
Grace is not love that overlooks, neglects, or disregards sin Gen. 3:3; cf. 2:17; Rom. 3:23; 5:12, 18-19; 1 Jh 1:9;
Every sin of every sinner with whom God deals with graciously is also dealt with justly! Isa. 59:17; cf. 45:8; 61:10; 62:1;
Grace is God’s love, with integrity Rom. 3:25‐26;
Common grace is universal grace and favor that, although non‐redemptive, touches every human creature to whom God has given existence Rom. 8:19‐22;
Common grace accounts for sinful man having some knowledge of God Gen. 20:1‐18; Acts 10:1‐4; Mark 12:28‐34;
While common grace focuses upon a degree of favor and kindness that man receives from God as a sinner Acts 14:16‐17;
Various aspects of common grace include:
The living existence of all men as sinners Lam. 3:22; Acts 17:27‐28; Rom. 3:24‐25;

Common grace ought to result in repentance Rom. 2:4‐5;
Common grace ought to result in praise Rom. 1:25; cf. Ps. 65:4‐13; 104:1‐35;
Preceding grace
By definition, “preceding” or “preventing” or “prevenient” here all mean “to go before” John 6:37, 44‐45;
Preventing grace not only protects the sinner from satanic claims, but also directs him along a hedged in way Gen. 27:41‐44; John 17:2, 6, 9, 12, 24;
Preventing grace effects the safe arrival and certain salvation of the chosen sinner I Pet. 1:1‐2; Rom. 1:5; 16:26; John 3:3‐8; II Thess. 2:13; Tit. 3:5;
By way of application, let any Christian consider his own conversion and recall how God’s preventing or preceding grace I Tim. 1:15‐17; cf. Rom. 11:33‐35; Gal. 1:13‐16;
Saving grace Gal. 1:11‐17; Rom. 5:20‐21;

Sovereign grace contrasts with that impotent, offered grace which man Eph 2:1-7;
The Father has not sent His beloved Son to suffer and die so that men might be saved Luke
10:22; John 6:37, 44; 10:1‐3, 11; 17:1‐2, 6, 9, 12, 24; Rom. 8:32;
Thus, whoever God elects to salvation Rom. 8:29‐30; I Pet. 1:1‐2; Acts 13:48;

It is not free grace that is received as cheap and easy Heb. 12:2‐3 cf. II Cor. 8:9; Phil. 2:5‐8;
It is not free grace that is received with apathy Luke 7:47;
It is not free grace that is received for abuse Romans 5:17, 20; 6:1-2;

Holiness of God
Would we not first be struck by God’s mouth‐stopping, sin‐exposing, overwhelming holiness Ex 3:5; Jos 5:13-15; Is 6:1-5;
Surely there would be little attempted brash familiarity and easygoing report if God was perceived as did Job Job 15:15;
Similarly with Habakkuk: Hab. 1:12‐13;
So in Hebrews we are told that, “Our God is a consuming fire” Heb. 12:28‐29;

Evangelism
Evangelism starts with the God of the Bible Rom. 1:1; 15:16; Mark 1:14; II Cor. 11:7; I Thess. 2:2, 8, 9; I Tim. 1:11; John 3:16;
John teaches that “God is spirit That is, God is spiritual in His nature John 4:24; cf. 1:18; I John 4:12;
John teaches that “God is light” I John 1:5, 7;
John teaches that “God is love” I John 4:8; 16;
John teaches that God “the Father has life in Himself” Jh 5:26; Rev 4:11;
John teaches that God is, by nature, true John 17:3; I John 5:20; cf. John 3:33; 8:40;
John teaches that God is personal John 1:14; cf. 1:18; 3:16; I John 4:9; John 1:12‐13; 3:1‐8;
Therefore, in true biblical evangelism there must be a clear declaration about the character of this God and His demands upon man Romans 1:18‐3:20;
God is angry, wrathful Rom 1:18; cf. 2:5; 3:5;
God is invisible Rom 1:20;
God is eternal in power Rom 1:20;
God is divine in nature Rom 1:20;
God is glorious Rom 1:23;
God is incorruptible Rom 1:23;
God is true Rom 3:4; cf. 1:25; 3:7;
God is blessed forever Rom 1:25;
God is just and a judge Rom 2:2‐3, cf. 1:32; 6, 11, 16;
God is kind Rom 2:4;
God is forbearing, patient Rom 2:4;
God is faithful Rom 3:3‐4;
God is righteous Rom 3:5‐6;
At the risk of being misunderstood, the point here is that evangelism is not simply about “being a disciple of Christ” or “coming to Christ” or “being a follower of Christ.” Matt. 5:16; John 13:31; 14:6, 13; 17:1, 4; I Cor. 15:24, 28; Rom. 15:5‐6; 16:27; Phil. 2:5‐11; I Pet. 3:18; 4:11; I John 2:1;

God is holy 1 Pt 1:15-16;
God is just 1 Pt 1:17;
God is radiant 1 Pt 2:9;
God is omniscient 1 Pt 3:12;
God is patient1 Pt 3:20;
God is gracious 1 Pt 4:10; cf. 5:10, 12;
God is glorious1 Pt 5:10;
God is the creator of all things Acts 17:22-24;
God is sovereign over heaven and earth Acts 17:24;
God is transcendent, not confined Acts 17:24;
God is independent, self‐sufficient Acts 17:25;
God is benevolent, maintaining His creation Acts 17:25;
God is wise in His ordering of creation Acts 17:26;
God is immanent, not far from any of us Acts 17:27;
God is life‐giving, hence living Acts 17:28;
God is immaterial, hence spiritual Acts 17:29;
God is forbearing, patient Acts 17:30;
God is righteous and just Acts 17:31;
God is omnipotent Acts 17:31;

The relationship between justification and regeneration Titus 3:5‐7;
It is vigorously maintained that a return to the purity of the gospel as expressed in the doctrine of justification by faith Job 25:6; Isa. 6:1‐5;
Doctrine of justification by faith demands this Habakkuk 2:4; 3:16; Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:10‐14; Hebrews 10:32‐39;

Salvation Hab. 3:12‐13; 2:4; 3:18‐19;
Wrath/mercy Hab. 3:2;
Saving power Hab. 3:17‐19; cf. 3:3‐15;
New Covenant revelation likewise manifests holiness justice, salvation, wrath/mercy, saving power, the mediation of the Lord Jesus Christ Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:10‐14; Hebrews 10:32‐39; Heb. 7:26; Matt. 21:5; cf. Zech. 9:9; Matt. 1:21; Rom. 3:25‐26; Rom. 1:16;
Justification through faith alone is in the Son Rom. 3:24; 5:17;
Justification apart from the works of the law is through faith alone in the Son Galatians 3:10‐11;
Justification in the midst of an afflicting world is through faith alone in the Son Hebrews 10:38‐39;
