Proverbs 16:5-6 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; Though they join forces, none will go unpunished. In mercy and truth Atonement is provided for iniquity; And by the fear of the Lord one departs from evil.” (Proverbs 16:5, 6 NKJV)

This warns that pride and arrogance set man squarely against God. That's the perfect game plan for destruction and death - the finale' for rebellious living that dishonors his Maker. In their distorted mind, the wicked think they have the power in their number. Little do they know, they march in droves to the fiery furnace of hell.

But God in His grace and mercy, by the power of His Word and the finished work of Jesus on the cross, provides the way to repentance and salvation. As we humble before Him in reverent fear, He will meet us where we're at. He receives us in our filthiest state. During His time in this world, Lord Jesus welcomed sinners - the tax collectors, the prostitute, the adulterer, the thief and every sinner who came to Him. He healed the broken hearted, the blind, the lame, the mute, and all who are sick who came to Him. All who need restoration, He restored. The contagious lepers He touched and healed. Yes, He loves us that even our worst state of sin can never deter Him nor separate us from His love.

When we trust in our Lord Jesus Christ, He will wash us white as snow (Isaiah 1:18). He will make our life brand new, as it is written: "This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.” (2 Corinthians 5:17, 19 NLT)

And I say, AMEN!
