Living a holy and pure life for the Lord will attract many of God’s blessings upon those who adopt this lifestyle. The Bible confirms this truth.
Wealth won’t help in the time of judgment, but righteousness will deliver from death. (Pro 11:4 ISV)
In fact, the verse shown above says that righteousness delivers a person from death! Wow! That’s quite a huge blessing, isn’t it?
Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death. (Pro 10:23 MEV)
Wicked treasures will not save a person from death, but according to Proverbs 10:23, a righteous lifestyle will. I would say that this is a winning argument, wouldn’t you? The death that is spoken about in these passages is an eternal death, but those who accept Christ as their Savior and live a holy life will gain eternal life. Hallelujah!
While physical training has some value, training in holy living is useful for everything. It has promise for this life now and the life to come. (1 Tim 4:8 CEB)
Not only is holy living useful for EVERYTHING, it will benefit us in THIS life as well as the next—in eternity.
If doing something in this current life will profit us in eternity, it is worthwhile to study and to seriously research it. This article is just a step in that direction. God bless you.
