In a biblical context, it often relates to wisdom, prudence, and the ability to discern right from wrong. Sensibility is a valued trait in Scripture, associated with understanding and the application of knowledge in a way that aligns with God's will. Biblical References: 1. <a href="/proverbs/14-8.htm">Proverbs 14:8</a> : "The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way, but the folly of fools deceives them." · This verse highlights the importance of sensibility in making wise decisions. The prudent, or sensible, person is able to discern the right path, contrasting with the folly of those who lack judgment. 2. <a href="/proverbs/19-11.htm">Proverbs 19:11</a> : "A man’s insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense." · Sensibility is linked to patience and the ability to overlook offenses, demonstrating a mature and thoughtful character. 3. <a href="/titus/2-6.htm">Titus 2:6</a> : "In the same way, urge the younger men to be self-controlled." · Here, sensibility is associated with self-control, a key aspect of Christian living. Young men are encouraged to develop this trait as part of their spiritual growth. 4. <a href="/james/3-13.htm">James 3:13</a> : "Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom." · Sensibility is demonstrated through good conduct and humility, reflecting a life lived in accordance with divine wisdom. Characteristics of a Sensible Person: · Discernment: A sensible person is able to distinguish between right and wrong, making choices that reflect godly wisdom. · Prudence: They exercise caution and foresight, avoiding impulsive decisions that could lead to negative consequences. · Self-Control: Sensibility involves mastery over one's desires and emotions, aligning actions with moral and ethical standards. · Patience: A sensible individual is patient, understanding that timing and restraint are crucial in dealing with life's challenges. · Humility: Sensibility is marked by humility, recognizing one's limitations and the need for God's guidance. Practical Application: · Decision Making: Sensible individuals seek God's wisdom through prayer and Scripture, ensuring their choices align with His will. · Interpersonal Relationships: They practice patience and forgiveness, fostering peace and understanding in their interactions with others. · Spiritual Growth: Sensibility is cultivated through regular study of the Bible, prayer, and fellowship with other believers, leading to a deeper relationship with God. Conclusion: The Bible consistently upholds sensibility as a virtue that reflects a life of wisdom and understanding. It is a trait that believers are encouraged to develop, as it leads to a more fulfilling and God-honoring life.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
