When you need wisdom from God you need Jesus

“It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.” (1 Cor. 1:30 NIV)

Jesus has become wisdom from God for you

The passage at top says Christ Jesus has become wisdom from God and three things for you: righteous, holiness and redemption. 

1) Righteousness: a coming into spiritual oneness with God, because for Christ's sake the believer in Christ is treated as 

righteous.

2) Holiness: purity or integrity of moral character; freedom from sin.

3) Redemption: the purchase back of something that had been lost, by the payment of a ransom.

Therefore

“For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.” (Prov. 2:6 ESV)

“Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!” (Rom. 11:33 ESV)

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” (Col. 3:16 ESV)
