Proverbs 10:29-30 (ESV)
29 The way of the Lord is a stronghold to the blameless,
but destruction to evildoers.
30 The righteous will never be removed,
but the wicked will not dwell in the land.
Following the way of the Lord brings the well-being of the righteous. Failing to follow the way of the Lord results in the devastation of the wicked. God will reward with eternal life those who have trusted and turned to him. At the same time, he promises to visit judgment upon those who reject his terms of salvation. It is only by following the wisdom of the Lord that a soul can be truly secure. The day is coming when each person will stand before God to give an account of whether she lived according to God’s design or did things her way. All who fail to meet God’s standard of perfection will be cut off from his grace forever. But those who confess their sin, place their trust in Christ, and turn to God in repentance are made righteous. Therefore, if you are saved, you are in the most secure place in the universe. Nothing can ever bring you spiritual harm.
