Proverbs 1:18
but these men lie in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives.And not only do people see clearly the net of destruction, namely God’s judgment, and pursue their anti-truth ways anyway, but, they in effect, are setting the trap for themselves. People who do not practice truth, which is the content of the Scriptures, as a normal part of their day-to-day life, then by default, practice untruth. Untruth, is a separation from truth, and therefore a separation from reality, and likewise a separation from God. And any separation from God, is a recipe for self-destruction. God provided the contents of creation for those who belong to Him. Anyone who does not belong to God, refuses that relationship, by their own choice. Anyone unrelated to God, has no right to anything in creation. Therefore, anyone lacking a relationship with God, by whatever means, but still claims access to the things of creation, in effect, make false claims. They are trying to take something that does not belong to them. There are trying to take things that do not belong to them, from others who have rightful access. To take something that does not belong to you, is simply theft, and you set yourself up for criminal action, namely Gods justice, against yourself. The terms blood, and lives, reflects the action of Gods judgment or justice, against that person. For unbelievers, the action is the Lake of Fire. For believers, who function out of fellowship, the action is discipline, and/or, loss of blessing or reward. Whatever the case, or whatever the reason, individuals who resist Christ or doctrine, are setting themselves up for a greater judgment or discipline against themselves, than their own actions attempt to bring against others. |
