Choice between sins path and righteous path–reflections from reading the Bible
Direction of outcomes of sins, evil, wickedness path: wage of sins is death (spiritual), ugliness of sins sinking deeper and deeper in the sand, desolation, no peace, brokenness, no fair justice, strong dominates the weak and marginalised groups, handed over to the enemies, exile, no respect, fears, hate, numbness of heart, lies, no eternal hope of salvation, removes from his presence and protection ultimately…
Direction of outcomes of God’s righteous path: joy, blessings, abundance, peace, never lacking, salvation-path to heaven with God, hope, meaning, true love, stands on solid rock-stand firm throughout life’s tribulations, follows the ancient ways of truth-God’s ways, enjoys his presence and protection, our King of kings and Lord of Lords.
