Make Way for the Righteous! Those who obey the wisdom taught in God’s Word will become more skillful in handling the affairs of life. But we must not think that this wisdom is a set of rules or a collection of “success formulas” that anyone can occasionally apply as he or she pleases. Following God’s wisdom is a full-time endeavor. His Word must first work within our hearts and transform our character before we can become the kind of people God can guide and bless. You don’t need godly character these days to be a success in making money. Many Hollywood celebrities, dishonest businessmen, and deceptive politicians have proved that. But if you’re concerned with making a life, you must major on building godly character. This explains why the words righteous and righteousness are used so often in Proverbs. Wisdom leads, “in the way of righteousness” (8:20) and, “in the way of righteousness is life” (12:28). “The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing” (10:28, NIV). The wicked have hopes, but they’re false hopes, so it behooves us to examine our own hearts to make sure we’re among the righteous who truly have hope, and that we’re the kind of people the Lord can trust with His blessings.

BE CAREFUL OF THE CHOICES THAT YOU MAKE. LIVE A RIGHTEOUS LIFE, AND BE BLESSED BY GOD. Romans 12:16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Proverbs 16:8 Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice. Luke 12:15 Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” Proverbs 21:21 Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor.

TRUST GOD Matthew 1:18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. Luke 1:30-31 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” Micah 5:2 But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times. BEING CHOSEN BY GOD, HAVING THE FAVOR OF GOD ON YOUR LIFE, CAN CAUSE YOU TO BE PLACED IN UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATIONS, BUT TRUST GOD, DON’T BE AFRAID. GOD WILL WORK IT OUT ALL FOR GOOD. REMEMBER GOD IS WATCHING OVER YOU. HE HAS YOUR LIFE IN TOTAL CONTROL. ALL SHALL BE WELL. PASTOR ANDRA HIGGINBOTHAM EVERLASTING SALVATION CHURCH OF GOD MINISTRIES PayPal.me/donatetochurch
THE BIBLE SPEAKS ABOUT HEAVEN: Created by God. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created heaven and earth.

It is an eternal house in heaven that isn’t made by human hands. Saints rewarded in. 1 Peter 1:4 We have been born into a new life which has an inheritance that can’t be destroyed or corrupted and can’t fade away. That inheritance is kept in heaven for you, Happiness of, described. Revelation 7:16–17 They will never be hungry or thirsty again. Neither the sun nor any burning heat will ever overcome them. The lamb in the center near the throne will be their shepherd. He will lead them to springs filled with the water of life, and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.” The wicked excluded from. Galatians 5:21 envy, drunkenness, wild partying, and similar things. I’ve told you in the past and I’m telling you again that people who do these kinds of things will not inherit God’s kingdom.

“PEOPLE OF GOD” The above is one of the designations by which believers are called. 1. Their Past History. “Which were not a people” (1 Peter 2:10). To remember what we were, is to make us appreciate what we are. 1 Peter 2:10 Once you were not God’s people, but now you are. Once you were not shown mercy, but now you have been shown mercy. Their Present Position. “But are now the people of God” (1 Peter 2:10). Since He owns us, we ought to own ourselves. Their Practical Conduct. The result of being separate from things that contaminate us is, God says, “I will be their God, and they shall be My people”. 2 Corinthians 6:16 Can Christ agree with the devil? Can a believer share life with an unbeliever? Can God’s temple contain false gods? Clearly, we are the temple of the living God. As God said, “I will live and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.” Their Peculiar Designation. He calls them “a peculiar people,” or, “a people for His own possession”. We are His property, and therefore peculiar in being for Himself. Titus 2:14 He gave himself for us to set us free from every sin and to cleanse us so that we can be his special people who are enthusiastic about doing good things. 1 Peter 2:9 However, you are chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, people who belong to God. You were chosen to tell about the excellent qualities of God, who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Their Propitiating Atonement. Christ has made an atonement for the sins of the people. That atonement is full, eternal, and God-glorifying. Heb. 2:17 Therefore, he had to become like his brothers and sisters so that he could be merciful. He became like them so that he could serve as a faithful chief priest in God’s presence and make peace with God for their sins. Because Jesus experienced temptation when he suffered, he is able to help others when they are tempted. Their Promised Rest. “There remaineth a rest for the people of God” . The outlook for God’s people is blessed and bright. Heb. 4:9 Therefore, a time of eternal rest exists for God’s people. Those who entered his place of rest also rest from their work as God did from his. Their Eternal Bliss. “They shall be His people,” is the word of God’s promise. Those chosen in time will be well looked after in eternity. I HOPE YOU FOUND THIS QUICK STUDY TO BE INTERESTING, AND HELPFUL.
