Proverbs 10:2 (NIV)
2 Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but
righteousness delivers from death.
Wealth, especially wealth gotten through greedy and wicked
means, proves to be of no lasting value. This rancid wealth rots the heart of
the one who gets it and it cannot save us from our ultimate demise.
Righteousness, however, is a far more precious treasure. This righteousness of
the Eternal God, this gift given to us by grace through faith, is greater than
the limits of our mortality and powerful enough to buy our soul from death.
Thought for today:
Do I understand the full extent of Christ’s ransom?
