There are only two choices about the Word of God: you either despise it or you fear it. The first of the two will leave you devastated and wishing you had feared it. There really are only two ways with all of God\u2019s Word: light or darkness; you believe, or you don\u2019t; God\u2019s way or your way; in or out; up or down; Jesus or Satan; going to heaven or hell. There is no middle ground, and when your life here ends, your choice has already been made. To despise the Word is to reject Jesus and salvation, and it rejects God\u2019s love for you. Part two: proper fear of the commandments, God\u2019s Word; you get it all. Your sins are paid for in full, cleansed from all filth and unrighteousness, covered so sin won\u2019t be appealing to you, and adoption into the family of God and having an eternal home in heaven. ETERNAL, think about that: no more of what you see here, just peace, tranquility, love, and pain-free living, FOREVER! Who wouldn\u2019t want that? Do you know somebody who&#8217;s not sure of their choices? Let them know they only have two to choose from.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Proverbs 13:13 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He who despises the word will be destroyed, But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.
