THINK TOGETHER.
Are you a good influence on others?
READ TOGETHER
Proverbs 12:28. In the path of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death.
Solomon is making a very bold statement here. He's telling his children that if they live in the path of righteousness, doing the right thing, then there will be life and no death.
No death?
Doesn't everyone die?
Yes, they do. Everyone dies because no one is righteous.
Romans 3:10. as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one."
And
Romans 3:23. for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
And therefore
Romans 6:23. the wages of sin is death...
So how can Solomon say that there is a way to not die? How can we actually live a righteous life before God and live forever? How can we know that even though we will die, we can still live forever with God?
Romans 6:23 ...but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The only way to die and still live forever is to accept the free gift o eternal life through Jesus Christ. Have you done that? Have you received Jesus as the greatest gift from God? Are you trusting in his righteousness instead of your own? I hope that you are. Faith in Jesus is our only hope in death.
Because of Jesus we can live forever!
With Jesus we are on the path of righteousness and no longer have to fear death.
DO SOMETHING TOGETHER
If your children are ready, help them to place their trust in Jesus and receive his free gift of eternal life.
PRAY TOGETHER
Jesus, I want to receive your gift of eternal life. I know there is no way I can be righteous on my own. Please take away my sin and give me your life. Amen.
