FAITH CAPSULE: The journey in life will lead to everlasting or damnation.
Jeremiah 12
Which way are you taking?
Do you know God, or do you know about Him?
Scriptural verses documents the character of God:
“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)
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
Why not meditate on the verses above and take to the way of God?
There is a way of everlasting, and there is a way of eternal damnation.
However, no one can take to both ways at the same time.
Both ways are engageable depending on your choice that you live life.
Which one of the two ways is your choice in your journey of life?
The way everlasting is to God just as the way to eternal damnation is to the devil.
All the above scriptural verses testify where God is.
The place of God is in place for obedient ones that live life for God.
Today, make the right choice.
Engage the way of everlasting, disengage from the eternal damnation.
Living life as a wicked one is a choice that leads to eternal damnation.
Wickedness operates from the heart and does not have a place for the right before God.
Jeremiah testifies, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9)
The wicked one is taking a journey on eternal damnation.
Are you keeping your heart to avoid missing everlasting?
Ending up in eternal damnation is not the right choice.
The word of God warns, “Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:23)
Eternal damnation is a wrong choice, a “no-go” place.
The psalmist strives not to be on the wrong choice of eternal damnation but spoke, “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.” (Psalm 139:23-24)
What is the identity of the wicked one?
Jeremiah 12:1-2 identifies the character of the wicked one, “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.”
Take to the way of everlasting, strive to avoid the eternal damnation.
Prayer for today: Ask for mercy to gain and to retain in the route of everlasting.
