Competence

previous next

Also: Skill

Competence is possessing skill and knowledge that allows us to do something successfully. It also describes the ability to apply prior experience to new situations with good effect. Our competency usually increases over time as we acquire more information and ability through inquiry, observation, and participation.


When we feel competent, we can greet new environments with calm and confidence. Our competency helps those around us feel more comfortable and secure and it inspires them to seek knowledge and skill in their own domain.

9Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness. 10Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him[a] to make him stumble. 11But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him. 1 John 2:9-11 (New International Version)
