Don't Envy the Wicked or Rejoice When Your Enemies Fall

God warns us to neither be envious of the wicked nor that we should be happy when even our enemies stumble or fall.

Proverbs 24:17-20
17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19 Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;
20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.

Instead, we ourselves need to repent.

Luke 13:1-5
1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Turn to God's ONLY Christ, and STOP choosing to send yourself to Hell.

Turn to God's ONLY salvation, and STOP choosing to suffer eternal damnation.

Blessings and Disasters Come To All People: Choose God's Ways Before It Is Too Late

Matthew 5:45
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

Not only does God allow evil to test us all, but He also pours out His mercies on us all from day to day.

On top of that, we also bring evil things upon ourselves when we imagine such things and when we fail to walk in God's ways.

Proverbs 24:11-12
If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?

Furthermore, He tells us that, from the beginning of human history, we have corrupted ourselves by following our own hearts and imaginations, even as Cain, who killed his own brother, Abel.

Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Genesis 6:5
And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Seek God's only Savior. 

Seek God's only plan of salvation.

Luke 13:1-5
There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.  

God Knows Our Good and Bad Deeds, and Our Failures To Act Correctly

God is always aware and watching what we do, for, as the Bible says, "He never slumbers nor sleeps." 

Whether our deeds are good or evil, He holds every one of us accountable for all of it, including all that we think or imagine, and all the good things that we fail to do. If you read the Bible, God's Word, you shall know these things to be true.

Proverbs 24:11-12

11 If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;
12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?

God says that He has provided only one perfect blood sacrifice to pay for all of our sin and that we must turn to Him in repentance and faith in His only Savior who shed that blood, died, and rose from the dead to show us the way of eternal life.

Please choose God's only Christ.

Please choose God's only way of salvation.

Your eternal destiny is in your own hands, whether you decide to choose God's gift of eternal life or reject it in favor of eternal suffering and damnation. 

I want to see you in eternal peace and joy with God's Savior.

As you read God's Word, ask Him to teach you what you need to know to walk with Him in His truth.

You can start, as I did, in Genesis 1.

You can also gain much wisdom from reading John and Romans.

The Only Way to Save Yourself: Stop Fighting Against the One and Only True God

 Proverbs 21:30

³⁰  There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD. 

There is and always has been only one true God. He says so in His Word, that all of us humans should come to Him in repentance and faith in His Messiah/Savior. He, alone, has prepared only one way for us to be redeemed from our sin, and that is through His Christ, Jesus of Nazereth, as God foretold for thousands of years.

You can try to deny these things. You can try to argue against these things, You can go to your grave making believe there is some other way than what God, our Creator, has said since the beginning. However, you shall face God's final judgment and shall see, then, that you were wrong to resist, neglect, and deny Him and His Word. In the end, by your refusal to seek God's way you shall have condemned yourself.

I beg and urge you, most strenuously, to read His Word for yourself and ask Him and His Spirit to teach you what He wants you to know about Him and His only plan of salvation. I never believed it until I read it for myself. 

For the sake of your eternal destiny, stop fighting against the only True God, for you alone decide whether you shall spend eternity in heaven with God and His Christ or in hell (isolated, suffering forever, and without further hope of relief or redemption). This life is our only opportunity to choose His way. Your choice, whether you repent and receive His salvation, or not, is what determines your eternal destiny. "Do no be deceived, God is not mocked...." This is not about who has the right religion, but whether we have believed God's Word. For, though you try to evade God's way, you shall give account for your decision and shall spend eternity in the estate that you shall have forced God to place you, based on whether you did it His way or your way. You must trust His Word, or you shall have rejected it.

Learn about His Savior.

Learn about His Salvation.

How Can I Be Forgiven of All My Sin?

 Proverbs 20:9

"Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?"

God says that none of us can do it for ourselves and that only One can cleanse us of our sin against God. 

This is that only One by whom God cleanses and forgives all sin.

Fools Follow Their Hearts

Jeremiah 17:9

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Proverbs 18:2
A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.

My friend, please don't follow your heart and by doing so make yourself into a fool. 

Seek God's answers to life through His only Savior and His only plan of salvation.
