May God’s Word be magnified and may we see ourselves before The only True and Righteous God.
Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation:
but sin is a
reproach to any people.
Do people believe this fact?
Is this True or not?
Just because I do not believe it does this mean it will not happen?
Then where does this statement come from and is the source reliable or not?
In the Holy Bible is recorded the account of one of the son’s of King David named Solomon which had this testimony.
1 Kings 4:29 And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.
2 Chronicles 1:7 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.
2Ch 1:11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
2Ch 1:12 Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.
Solomon wrote the Book of Proverbs. Not what he thought but what God told him to write. This is not what a man says it is what God said, therefore it is true! It has no influence of what I believe, it is true.
Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation:
but Sin
is a Reproach
to any People.

Php 3:7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

Php 3:9 ¶ And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

This is all a heart issue. Man cannot save himself in all his self righteousness and good works. Who will you trust, mankind or God? You cannot be neutral! You will die in your sin if you believe not Jesus Christ. When you die, you will face The Judgment of God in that Day he has recorded in the Holy Bible. If you say I do not believe in God or His Word you will acknowledge to him on a bowed knee that Jesus Christ is LORD in truth and then you will face just judgment. You still can Repent of your Sin before him and call upon him as your only personal Lord and Savior. Don’t listen to the child of disobedience in you, but listen to the Holy Spirit and believe on Christ. Then you will be one of his beloved sons or daughters and begin an abundant life that he has always desired for you from the creation of man.
