Proverbs 14:12 AMPC
There is a way which seems right to a person and appears straight before them, but at the end of it is the way of death.
Proverbs 14:12 NLT
There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death.
Ever since the Garden of Eden humans have made choices which seemed right in their own eyes, but, tragically end in death.
The fateful choice of Adam and Eve, to doubt God's goodness and eat of the forbidden fruit, injected the "fallen-sin-bias" into our DNA and hence has unravelled God's perfect creation ever since.
Only the remptive power of Jesus'death and resurrection can restore what was lost from the beginning.
Through the Divine Energy of the Holy Spirit we begin to make right choices which lead to eternal life.
That means turning away from what "seems" right in our own eyes and to evaluate all our choices, beliefs and morals in the light of God's Truth as revealed in the Bible.
Of course this will ultimately lead to being controversial and unpopular, misunderstood and even persecuted.
The first step on the Road to Redemption is to elect a new government of our life, abidcate from the throne of self and let King Jesus reign supreme.
Recognise that God's Way is right and that humans' way, our own way, is a dead end.
Easter is a celebration of Jesus' Passion - The Cross and Victorious Resurrection - on our behalf.
He still offers us The Way, The Truth and The Life as we give our lives to Him.
Matthew 7:13-14 NLT
"You can enter God's Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. [14] But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.
If we decide to do without God's love and forgiveness He won't force us, but being right in our own eyes will end in destruction in this life and the next.
