| Living a Life that brings and gives LIFE! Living right brings LIFE to one’s life!!! If there is ever a question of whether there are any benefits to living right Proverbs 11:30a gives one of the greatest. Living life right brings life to life. I say it that way because living wrong (sinfully) brings death to life. If you are wondering where that thought comes from notice James 1:14 -15 as it says, “but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.” When you yield to a temptation it gives birth (or life) to sin and then the sin gives birth to death. When you do wrong (sinning) you bring death to life in your life. But from Proverbs 11:30a when you do right you bring life to life in your life! I have to believe you would rather bring life to life in your life than death to life in your life! The person who is living right and experiencing an abundant life will also want others to have life, here and hereafter. Proverbs 11:30b tells us that a WISE person wins souls. The wise have come to understand their need for Christ and have gotten saved and now they want OTHERS to know how they can be saved. Are you witnessing for the Lord? Are you sharing Christ with anyone presently? Do you have a burden to see a friend, a relative, an associate, a neighbor, or even a stranger come to know Jesus? One of the characteristics of a wise person is they want to see lost people saved and will look for opportunities to share Christ with the lost!
