Do I truly believe that God’s way protects those who live with integrity? #honestlyseekHim

God’s way …for those devoted to wickedness (rejecting His salvation)… means destruction. #freechoice

To remain “in Christ” means abiding as peacefully as a fruitful branch in the vine. For without God’s life we are spiritually dead.

If I give myself over to man’s approval, then I may never experience “true life” (it’s like a branch separated from the vine). #fruitless

Lord, will you show us your glory? For we need You. -Teresa

Proverbs 10:29-30New Living Translation

²⁹ The way of the Lord is a stronghold to those with integrity,
    but it destroys the wicked.

³⁰ The godly will never be disturbed,
    but the wicked will be removed from the land.

John 12:44-50 ESV) (bold added for emphasis)

Jesus Came to Save the World

[44] And Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. [45] And whoever sees me sees him who sent me. [46] I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. [47] If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. [48] The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day. [49] For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak. [50] And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.”
