In the book of Proverbs Wisdom comes from a righteous heart. In a sense, both are seen as two sides of the same coin, or each supporting each other. The bad news is when we read the description of a foolish heart, antithetical to a wise heart, we see more of ourselves in what is described. The good news is that the life and ministry of Jesus perfectly embodies the wisdom of Solomon. Christians are united to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and are given a "Spirit of Wisdom" according to Paul. (Eph. 1:18) The gospel gives us the ability to be a part of the Kingdom of Jesus because we can act wisely as we are built up into the image of Jesus.
