In the biblical context, intelligence is often associated with wisdom, discernment, and the ability to apply knowledge in a godly manner. Intelligence is seen as a gift from God, enabling individuals to comprehend His will and live according to His commandments. Biblical References: 1. Wisdom and Understanding: Intelligence in the Bible is closely linked with wisdom and understanding. <a href="/proverbs/2-6.htm">Proverbs 2:6</a> states, "For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding." This verse highlights that true intelligence is a divine gift, rooted in the fear of the Lord and the pursuit of His wisdom. 2. Discernment: The ability to discern right from wrong is a key aspect of intelligence in the biblical sense. <a href="/hebrews/5-14.htm">Hebrews 5:14</a> notes, "But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their senses to distinguish good from evil." This discernment is a mark of spiritual maturity and intelligence. 3. Daniel's Example: Daniel is a prime example of intelligence in the Bible. <a href="/daniel/1-17.htm">Daniel 1:17</a> states, "To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and wisdom; and Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds." Daniel's intelligence was a direct result of God's blessing, enabling him to serve effectively in a foreign land. 4. Solomon's Wisdom: King Solomon is renowned for his intelligence, particularly his wisdom. In <a href="/1_kings/3-12.htm">1 Kings 3:12</a>, God says to Solomon, "Behold, I have done according to your words. Behold, I have given you a wise and discerning heart, so that there has been no one like you before you, nor shall one like you arise after you." Solomon's intelligence was a divine endowment that enabled him to lead Israel with insight and justice. 5. The Role of the Holy Spirit: Intelligence is also associated with the work of the Holy Spirit. In <a href="/john/14-26.htm">John 14:26</a>, Jesus promises, "But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you." The Holy Spirit imparts understanding and insight, guiding believers into all truth. Theological Implications: · Divine Source: Intelligence is portrayed as a gift from God, not merely a human achievement. It is given for the purpose of glorifying God and fulfilling His purposes on earth. · Moral and Spiritual Dimensions: Biblical intelligence encompasses moral and spiritual dimensions, emphasizing the importance of aligning one's understanding with God's will. · Responsibility: With intelligence comes the responsibility to use it wisely and for the benefit of others, as seen in the parable of the talents (<a href="/matthew/25-14.htm">Matthew 25:14-30</a>). Practical Application: Believers are encouraged to seek intelligence through prayer, study of the Scriptures, and reliance on the Holy Spirit. <a href="/james/1-5.htm">James 1:5</a> advises, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him." This pursuit of intelligence is not for personal gain but for the edification of the church and the advancement of God's kingdom.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
