I give not as the world gives

in

  • Pray for godly wisdom and do not doubt. You will receive it in due time. – James 1:5-7
  • You must “exercise” yourself in these things constantly if you want to grow. – 1 Timothy 4:7-8

John 14:27 — Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

The world gives:

  1. Tasty food and drink
  2. Possessions
  3. Pride through achievements, status, possessions, beauty, etc.

Christ gives:

The Holy Spirit, who gives us true peace and joy through:

  1. Eternal life
  2. Godliness (the conduct and character of Christ)
  3. Freedom from the four slave-drivers of sin, the lusts of the flesh, money, and time
  4. The knowledge and wisdom of God’s ways (found throughout this epistle)
