Wat is the meaning of Proverbs 10:6-7, Blessings are upon the head of the just, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. The memory of the just is blessed, but the name of the wicked shall rot?
Violence covers the mouth of the wicked
Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot (箴言 10:6-7)
The seed of man is affected by evil. 這就是為什麼, everyone, who will not repent to the living Jesus Christ, and not become born again in the spirit, will keep walking in the sinful nature, as the old creation, who thinks, walks and talks like the world (另請閱讀: 重生是什麼意思?).
Their heart is not renewed, and therefore their words, which come forth, out of their sinful nature and their unrepented heart, shall contain violence (另請閱讀: What does the Bible say about the old man?).
Their words may seem lovely, pious, hopeful, 有希望, and even credible, but their promising words, will hide violence and be as poison and will bring forth corruption. Not only to themselves but also to the people around them. 因為, what they proclaim and promise are in reality lies, that go against the Word of God.
They only proclaim prosperity, while the Word says something else, and they live in rebellion as enemies of the Word.
Jesus says, that by the fruit you shall know them. For a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, 壞樹也不能結好果子. Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire (Mat 7:17-19)
What lives in the heart of men, will (eventually) become visible in their lives.
An unregenerate man will walk in rebellion against God and His Word and live as an enemy of God and His Word, and shall do the works of the flesh and walk in:
通姦, 淫亂, Uncleanness, Inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, covetousness, anger, 憤怒, malice , blasphemy, Filthy communication out of your mouth, Lying, lasciviousness, 偶像崇拜, 巫術, 仇恨,, variance, 模擬, 衝突, seditions, 異端, envyings, murders, 酒醉, revelling (加拉太書 5:19-21, 歌羅西書 3:5-9)
The memory of the wicked
For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption (加拉太書 6:8)
As long as they won’t repent of their works, and not become the new man, who God has created after His image, their name will be forgotten. They will not be written in the Book of Life, and therefore they shall enter eternal death.
The blessings of the just
But those, who believe in Jesus Christ, accept Him as their Saviour and Lord, and become born again in the spirit, 藉著聖靈的力量, are redeemed from their sinful nature. They’ve crucified their flesh in Christ, and are risen from the (精神) 死亡 (另請閱讀: Faith in the Name of Jesus).
They have exchanged their flesh, which was corrupted, for the spirit, and they shall walk in the life of God; in the spiritual blessings of God.
Since they belong to Jesus Christ, they have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts (加拉太書 5:24). Therefore they shall not walk after the flesh, but after the Spirit, and bear 聖靈的果子, which is:
love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance (加拉太書 5:23-24)
The memory of the just
The just shall not only inherit the Kingdom of God, but the just shall also bring the Kingdom of God upon this earth. They shall be a blessing to others and memory of the just will be blessed (另請閱讀: Walk in the dominion that God has given you).
As long as the just keep walking on the path of life, their names shall be written in the Book of Life, and they shall have eternal life.
