Judgement and Knowledge

Proverbs 2:8-10, “He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;”
Have you ever wondered about should we even consider knowing about judgment and righteousness with all the technology and philosophy we have today? Do we really need to understand these things? Yes! Today more than ever we need to understand righteousness and judgment. To be righteous we need to be right with God. To understand judgment we need to know who will be our ultimate judge. These truths are like the law of gravity they never become irrelevant and always need to be understood.
The law of gravity states what goes up must come down. If we do not understand right and wrong, what is good and bad, how to make wise decisions, what is fair and equitable---then you will be like a person jumping off a tall building and not understanding the law of gravity. If you think you are too enlightened or too educated or the law does not apply to you do not complain as you crash into the ground.
If you do not understand the eternal truth that is found in God’s Word concerning the unchanging standard of righteousness then you will come crashing down. Life will be like studying for the wrong test, or preparing for the wrong calamity---you will be caught suddenly and tragically unawares. There is no defying or suspending the truth of God. Do you have to prepare to meet your maker, God, or can you use your education position and prestige to get into heaven? Jesus said no man can come unto the Father but through him. One day we all will have to give account of our lives. We will all have to answer a question, “What have you done with Jesus?” You will not be asked for your degree program nor will you be asked about church membership or doctrinal belief. You will be asked if you know Jesus as savior and is your name written in His book. If you cannot answer these questions with a yes you will hear these words, “Depart ye cursed into everlasting darkness.” You don’t have to believe this you don’t even have to understand or like it, but that will not change the outcome. The only thing that will change the outcome is knowing Jesus as personal savior and being washed in the blood from the cross of Calvary. Nothing else will matter. Prepare to meet thy God. Are you ready?
