When God says…
“The righteous man walks in his integrity; His children are blessed after him.” (Proverbs 20:7 NKJV)
This passage reminds the rewards of walking in the righteous ways of God, guided by His holy and written Word. In the generation that follows, their children will reap and enjoy the blessings of today's life lived with integrity by right believing. For “This righteousness is given by grace through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile,” (Romans 3:22 NIV) These rewards are given in grace, not works (Romans 11:6). Not wages, but gifts by faith credited as righteousness (Romans 4:4)!
When we put our trust and total dependence in God by faith in Christ, He proclaims this reminder and assurance: “Be careful to obey all these words that I command you, that it may go well with you and with your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the sight of the Lord your God.” (Deuteronomy 12:28 ESV)
The Lord Jesus affirmed these words of command in His interaction with the crowd that followed Him. “Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”” (John 6:28-29 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
