Proverbs 12:1

Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

Proverbs 12:1 states, “He that loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.” Those who love instruction show that they have a deep love for knowledge and wisdom. Wisdom isn't just about the facts we gather; it’s about how those facts shape our actions, decisions, and attitudes. Instruction is a means to not only acquire knowledge but to apply it rightly in life. The Bible draws a sharp contrast between those who love to be taught and those who despise correction. Those who hate reproof are described as "brutish," which suggests a lack of sensitivity to God’s voice. Reproof, though it may be uncomfortable, is a tool for refining us, and a heart that loves instruction is open to that refinement. Wisdom and knowledge are gained not by avoiding correction but by welcoming it as part of our journey of growth and transformation.
