Proverbs 21:2 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts.” (Proverbs 21:2 NKJV)

This passage is reminding that, first and foremost, in the eyes of God it is not what we do that matters in our way of living. It is what we truly believe and treasure in our heart! Doing is already done by the Lord Jesus on the cross.

What matters to us now in this day of living is, right believing. Right believing makes us righteous in the eyes of God (Romans 3:22-31). In Christ, by faith, we are the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21). And, when we declare the truth of who are, we bear the fruit of righteousness as witnesses to be seen by the eyes of men and women who seek God. They will truly see the fruit through us and give God the glory.

The world as it is, in their contempt of the Lord Jesus Christ, won't see it. Their eyes are blind to things of God and of heaven. For them life lived in the righteousness of God is repulsive. They hate all things of God. Specially the religious, who claims they are believers in Jesus, but like the religious Pharisees they actually trust in their doctrines of men and reject the Lord's gospel of grace and truth (John 1:17). They hate our Lord Jesus Christ! (Matthew 12:14)

As the redeemed of our Lord Jesus Christ through faith in Him, we are warned - “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.” (John 15:18-21 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
