Jesus Our “Favour” - Proverbs 12:2

 “A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.”


—Proverbs 12:2 (KJV)


“A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD:”


Christ is our righteousness. Jesus is our “favor”. He was the “good man“ on our behalf. Even our good works come from Jesus. We have the blessed hope of eternal life through him:


“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:”


——I Corinthians 1:30 (KJV)


“…but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.”


We are bound for an eternity Hell and the Lake of Fire without the redemptive power of Christ. 


“And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”


—-Revelation 20:15 (KJV)


We have all sinned. Romans 3:23 (KJV) states, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Thank God for the Saving power of the Cross.


Concluding Thoughts 


Thank you Jesus for dying on the Cross for our sins and that you were made righteousness for us. You are the “good man” for us. Amen

It presents a path that ultimately leads to destruction ( Psalm 1:1 ) and a path that ultimately leads to a life where the “ leaf also shall not wither ” (Psalm 1: 2-3). In life, these two paths leads to two different types of fruits. The first (and righteous path) leads to fruit that is acceptable to God that derives from the abundant “ rivers of water ” springing forth from Christ at Calvary ( Psalm 1:3 ). The destructive path yields a fruit of chaff “ which the wind driveth away ” ( Psalm 1:4 ) . The ones who yielded the righteous fruit will have a joyous life everlasting where they belong to God and God belongs to them. In the final outcome, God will take the ones who yielded Chaff and cast them into the fire.  In Psalm 1:5 , once again you have a contrast presented. You have two types of people: the ungodly/sinners a

Primary Goals

1.) The first primary goal is to bring non believers to a saving knowledge of Christ.  “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” ——Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV) 2.) The second primary goal is to encourage believers to look forward to eternal life and fellowship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and encourage them to give out the gospel. “Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.” —-I Thessalonians 5:11 (KJV)
