In the Old Testament the way to God is the acquisition of knowledge, science and instruction. We do not need faith in the biblical thinking to know God; God is perfection itself and he manifests himself through his perfections: "For your immortal spirit is in all things.", Wisdom 12:1. The apostle Paul explains to us: "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen being understood from what has been made", Romans 1:20.
The spirit in the biblical thought is the substance of God, that is, the wisdom present in the heart of man as an inner teacher. In philosophical terms the spirit is the desire for the good.
All visible things were made by wisdom: "In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures", Psalm 104:24; "His works are perfect", Deuteronomy 32:4. To say that the immortal spirit of God is in all things is to say that God's wisdom is unattainable but at the same time surrounds us, that is, it is completely around us.
In a metaphorical sense we can see the spirit of God, in the daily wisdom of all things, that is why Jesus uses parables to describe the kingdom of God: every being tends to its own good or perfection. Wisdom is what moves things towards their perfection, the nature of the worm is the butterfly, the nature of the seed is the tree that bears fruit, the nature of man is the conformity to God: "He told them another parable: ´The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.´", Matthew 13:31-32.
According to the bible the spirit of God organizes everything, accompanies creation in its development and its unfolding. There is a certain degree of destructiveness in the universe, but it exists only to maintain the harmony of the universe.
