The following is an excerpt from the book The Majesty of Christ (Workbook Commentary Series: Colossians) by James P. Miller.
———
True scriptural growth must be accompanied by wisdom and understanding, and this in spiritual matters. Many times the brethren are wise in everything else but are babes in the scriptures. It is good to have a knowledge of business, society or education but this will not take one to heaven. A knowledge of spiritual things and the wisdom to apply them will result in the kind of life the Lord is seeking. Happy is the man who has both the knowledge and the wisdom to guide his life in a manner that will bring glory to Christ.
