FAITHLESS

We are looking at proverbs again

Proverbs 14:14 “The faithless will be repaid fully for their ways and the good rewarded for theirs.”

Faithless means to turn back, to turn away, to withdraw from the right path. Someone who abandons wisdom or even becomes an apostate.  Someone who is apostate is someone who rejects the foundational truths of the Gospel, like denying the resurrection, denying the Trinity, and the divinity of Christ. The person who turns away from God will experience the fruit of their choices. They will receive a harvest from the seeds planted. There is a biblical principle that applies to every single person, Christian and non-Christian alike. You will reap what you sow. You will be repaid fully, good or bad. That is played out every day in everyone's lives in a million different ways. You reap a harvest in what you have sown, good or bad. We see it all around us. If you're into drugs, you reap a harvest. Into violence, you reap a harvest. Crime, you reap a harvest. Whatever it is, good or bad, you reap a harvest. The Bible says the wages of sin is death. Death is reaping what was sown. We all experience death because we all have sinned and fallen short of God's holy standard. We have eternal life when we believe in Christ, but we still experience physical death from Adam's sin. Our choices have consequences in the end. So let's not be faithless but faithful to what we believe.
