FAITH CAPSULE: In questioning will come truthful answer for man to engage right direction.
Psalm 139
There is a way of everlasting and there is a way of eternal damnation. The question before man is to sincerely identify which way is before man. Man can deceive the whole world as regard to which way man is engaging in the journey of life. Are you engaging the way of everlasting or the way of eternal damnation? Walking truthfully according to the word of God leads to the way of everlasting (eternal) life. Walking outside of God’s word is a wicked way and it certainly lead to eternal damnation. Which way are you engaging? The ones whose word of God is near in their mouth but far from their heart are the wicked one. Who are the wicked ones? Jeremiah’s question before God pointed out who is wicked. Jeremiah 12:1-2, “Righteous are You, O Lord, when I plead with You; Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously? You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; They grow, yes, they bear fruit. You are near in their mouth But far from their mind.” Ones with the word of God in their mouth but far from their mind are wicked! Wicked ones are far from God by taking to the way of eternal damnation.
There is a way of everlasting and there is a way of eternal damnation. Both ways do not complement each other and no man can take to both ways at the same time. Man’s choice of engaging way of everlasting or way of eternal damnation belong to man. The way everlasting is clearly to God just as the way to eternal damnation is to hell.
The bible testifies, “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.” (Psalm 90:2) “Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations.” (Psalm 145:13) “How great are His signs, and how mighty His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and His dominion is from generation to generation.” (Daniel 4:3)
The word of God points out a way of avoiding eternal damnation by stating, “Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:23) Eternal damnation must be a “not-going” place for man. Questioning self with desire of getting right answer will be pointing man to way of everlasting not to way of eternal damnation. Psalmist was questioning by seeking for everlasting way with the evidence of his desire testimony in Psalm 139:23-24, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting.” In questioning will come truthful answer for man to engage right direction. Give self to truthful answer which lead to everlasting life.
