What the Bible Says About Fools That Thinks Themselves to be Wise

Bible Summary. We can think ourselves wise, but without God we are fools. A person that trusts only himself to make good judgment is a fool and is not wise. Instead of seeking wisdom from God, a fool follows his heart that cannot discern truth from lies nor good from evil. Vanity and conceit make people think that they are wise, but the reality is that their conceit has made them a fool.

A Fool Thinks Himself Wise To Trust Only on Their Own Counsel

Proverbs 12:15. A person that trusts only himself to make good judgment is a fool and is not wise. God created us to rely on Him for His purposes. He is our moral compass who we should trust to make good decisions in life. Without a relationship with God, our Creator, we lose our direction.

A Fool and His Wisdom: Follows His Evil Desires Not Knowing the Consequences

Proverbs 14:16. Many a fool thinks he is wise. Instead of seeking wisdom from God, a fool follows his heart that cannot discern truth from lies nor good from evil. A fool who thinks himself wise has no moral compass. Without God, good and and evil becomes relative. The wisdom of the day becomes “if it feels good do it”.

A Fool: His Conceit Convinces Himself That He is Wise

Proverbs 26:12. Vanity and conceit make people think that they are wise, but the reality is that their conceit has made them a fool. When we are full of conceit and pride, we think we are wiser than other people and God. We are basically a know-it-all. As the definition of conceit says, we have an “unduly high opinion of ourselves”.

A Fool: A Person Without God Who Thinks Himself Wise

Romans 1:22. We can be great debaters and think ourselves wise, but without God we are fools. God is the source of all knowledge and truth. He is the one that reveals knowledge to us. We can only accumulate and store knowledge. People deceive themselves and others when they think they are the source of wisdom.

Control Anger by Hiding It Till Its Emotions Passes You By

Proverbs 12:16. All of us get angry. What is important is how do we control your anger. Not all anger is bad, but uncontrolled anger results in bad things. The Bible tells us that fools do not control their anger, but will act in anger whenever anger presents itself.
