All the riches in the world will not deliver you on the day you perish. Each of us will stand before Yahweh for judgment and go either to heaven with Him, or to hell apart from Him. The decisions we make in this life have far greater affect on where we spend eternity than most people ever take time to consider. Oh… and studies show that five out of five people perish. The thing about life is no one gets out of it alive. Let us take heed to submit to Yahweh through Jesus Christ. Our actions should reflect our faith in Him as Lord.
1A false balance is an abomination to the LORD,
But a just weight is His delight.
2When pride comes, then comes dishonor,
But with the humble is wisdom.
3The integrity of the upright will guide them,
But the crookedness of the treacherous will destroy them.
4Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,
But righteousness delivers from death.
5The righteousness of the blameless will smooth his way,
But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.
6The righteousness of the upright will deliver them,
But the treacherous will be caught by their own greed.
Our actions should reflect our faith. If we truly accept Jesus as the Christ, we should reject a false balance or other “cheating” in finances. We should remain humble and guide ourselves with integrity. If we truly submit to Christ, than that will be reflected in our behaviors.
Of course we must remember that it is not our “works” that saves us but rather we are saved by Yahweh’s grace through our faith in Christ. However, genuine faith is naturally demonstrated in our actions and attitudes.
