"Righteousness guards him whose way is blameless, But wickedness overthrows the sinner." (Proverbs 13:6 NKJV)
He is warning us: the way of wickedness brings no honor, but horror. If a person continues to live in wicked ways, he will wind up in jail; and hell on earth. Wild and sinful ways of living never misses its consequence of disaster. Worst of all, it leads to eternal death. It pushes its victim to plunge into the gorge of destruction. Unaware of the devil's ploy, the sinful mindset wanders to a semblance of happy hour which is just a deceptive prelude to a hellish finale.
But, He reminds us of a way through which is well guarded. A way where we don't carry the weight of sin. The way of the blameless, that is when we step into the path marked by the cross of Jesus, a "great exchange" takes place - our sins for His righteousness. The curse of sin and its power are taken.
God is urging us now, before it's too late, to take the righteous mindset, by accepting Jesus our personal Lord and Savior. Surrender our will to Him. Allow Him to present us righteous before The Father. Our path will be secured. We become the righteousness of God by faith in Jesus, as Apostle Paul exhorts us with these words: "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. (2 Corinthians 5:21 NIV)
And I say, AMEN!
