Pro 13:13 Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
Over and over we need reminded that God’s word tends toward life, while disobedience leads to death. In our temptations, we can easily lose sight of this truth, but the fact remains. Obedience leads to the best life can be, while sin and disobedience leads to death and destruction.
