Being Rich Toward God Part I |
In either testament, the man's soul is his "ego" or "I am."
Lost:
Romans 3:18 -
There is no fear of God before their eyes.
(there is a fear among Christians today, but it is the wrong fear)
Hebrews 10:31 -
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Saved:
But is it a fear for us who are saved?
Not about going to Hell, anyway!
II Timothy 1:7 - For
God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and
of a sound mind.
Take your pick!
Knowledge / Understanding / Wisdom
2:10 - When
wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy
soul; ...
3:21-22 -
My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding
shall find good.

of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.
The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but
he casteth away the substance of the wicked.
24:13,14 - My
son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which
is sweet to thy taste: So shall the knowledge of
wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall
be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
19:2 - Also,
that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that

Jesus' works, the Father Himself, the Scriptures, Apostles, Paul, US, Jesus
Christ!)
24:11,12 - If
thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that
are ready to be slain; If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not
he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy
soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according
to his works? We must still
witness today!

his ways shall die. (second

soul shall be far from them.
