7-29-2022 Devotion: Following

 Proverbs 15: 9: "The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but He loveth him that followeth after righteousness." The LORD considers the way of the wicked detestable and disgusting. This is the meaning of "abomination." By "way", the writer means their path, journey and way of life. You have probably heard the statement, "Hate the sin but love the sinner." That phrase is not in the Bible. Gandhi, the Hindu leader in India said it. If you think about it, the statement makes no sense. The LORD will not cast the sin into hell, He casts the sinner into hell. Psalm 7:11 says that God is angry with the wicked every day. The Lord loves those who follow after righteousness. There is only one way, and that way is through the blood redemption of the Lord Jesus Christ. Most American churches today are full of lost people who have lost ministers telling them that all that has to do to be saved from hell is say a sinner's prayer, make a decision for Jesus, or just make a profession of faith. James 2: 19 states" Thou believeth that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble." Demons have more fear of God than most professing believers. Today, if you are a blood washed disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ know for a certainty that the LORD loves you. No matter what you face, He is with you and will see you through.
