Proverbs 11:30 is a simple and profound measure of what it means to live a wise life. A wise person is a person who lives rightly with God and therefore produces his fruit in his or her life. That person will “capture souls” and be recognized as wise.

A person whose life causes others to know God is an evangelist. We share Jesus each time we share his love with another. We share Jesus when we give a testimony about the way our lives have been impacted and changed by his presence and power. We share Jesus when we share the truth of God’s words with others. The fruit of a wise relationship with Christ will feed others and “capture souls.”

Wisdom is from God. Wisdom is more valuable than silver and gold. Wisdom will produce fruit in our lives and lead others to know God and receive the salvation of God through Christ.

You might have been studying Wisdom Matters from the beginning. Have the words of wisdom from Scripture changed your walk with the Lord? Do you share the truth of Christ more often now than you did before?

Wisdom is joyfully sharing Christ with others. The wisdom of the Lord will help you to capture souls if you will maintain your close, personal relationship with Jesus and allow his character to flow through your life. Evangelism is not so much an effort as it is the overflow of your faith to others, the fruit produced as you continually fill your life with the power, purpose, and Presence of Christ.
