Nobody can pretend ignorance in order to excuse their sins (part 7):

Sixth point to consider: by the wisdom we can rule, including over the sin:

  • "Does not wisdom call?... She cries... Counsel is mine, and sound Wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. " (Proverbs 8:1,3,14-16).

Paul mentions similar thing:

  • “For if by one man's offense death reigned by one, much more they who receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by One, Jesus Christ.)” (Romans 5:17).

Who receives the gift of the justice, which is given by the wisdom, will reign. Nevertheless, don’t seek award:

  • “There was a little city, and few men in it; and a great king came against it and besieged it, and built huge bulwarks against it. And a poor wise man was found in it, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that poor man. And I said, Wisdom is better than strength; but the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard. Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroys much good.” (Ecc 9:14-16,18).

Even if people don’t recognize our effort, know that the true reward of the wisdom is the ability of staying driving our life with temperance, prudence, always finding joy, peace and love, regardless the circumstances. The true blessing not always consist on Jesus taking away the predicaments and ordeals, but making us sturdy and savants to overcome all of them so that we may be perfect and entire, lacking nothing (James 1;4) and, finally, receiving all the rewards that Jesus conquer for us (see 1Cor 2:4).

So, have a good week receiving all the power, understanding and justice of the Wisdom and biding thoroughly in the grace of Jesus Christ that was brought when Jesus Christ revealed Himself to you (1Peter 1:13).
