Proverbs 21:16 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“A man who wanders from the way of understanding Will rest in the assembly of the dead.” (Proverbs 21:16 NKJV)

We are warned of the gravest danger to end up in the congregation of the dead, when we mindlessly wander in life. That is straying away from the way of understanding the covenant with God, which is His Word of truth in the finished work of Jesus. The Holy Bible is the instruction to guide us the way to our heavenly community of the living. The Word, which became flesh, is the person of the Lord Jesus (John 1:14). He is the Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14:6). Straying from the way of understanding God’s covenant bears the mortal consequence to be settled in the grounds of the dead. 

Hence, as children of God by grace through faith, when we accept Jesus our personal Lord and Savior, we are made partakers of the New Covenant by His blood (Luke 22:20;1 Corinthians 11:25). We do not draw away from, but draw in to His Word. We neither stray to the right nor to the left. Either way leads to extremes, and extremes are ditches of errors. Errors are lethal. It leads to destruction.

We are to take heed of God's command as it is written: "You shall be careful therefore to do as the Lord your God has commanded you. You shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. You shall walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land that you shall possess." (Deuteronomy 5:32, 33 ESV)

“And this is His commandment, that, we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.” (1 John 3:23 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!

(When God says... I say, AMEN! is a provocative reflection of the Lord's holy Word. It intends to challenge every seeker of truth to dig deep into the core of the Word of Life to point every being to Christ Jesus - the author and finisher of our faith, and to draw revelations for change, for nourishment and for strength of every soul.)
