Text: Prov 16:5-7 ESV

5 Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the LORD; be assured, he will not go unpunished.

6 By steadfast love and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the LORD one turns away from evil.

7 When a man's ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

-Prov 16:5-7 ESV

THE STEADFAST LOVE AND FAITHFULNESS OF GOD

An unregenerated heart has the propensity of arrogance. An arrogant person misplaces his confidence. Instead of trusting in the Lord for salvation, he proudly trusts in his own ability to save himself. For example, the Pharisee prayed in the temple and exuded so much pride. He "thanked" God by bragging that he was better than other men, including a humble tax collector. He told God he fasted twice a week and tithed on everything he got. Jesus said the Pharisee did not return home justified. He remarked: "For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled" (Luke 18:11-14).

Man has to humble himself for salvation is by grace alone.[Eph 2:8,9] No human filled with pride and sin will go unpunished. Paul says, "For the wages of sin is death", which includes separation from God in this life and the next. Thankfully, through His mercy, God has provided a way to escape this punishment. Paul continues, "but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."[Rom 6:23] The goodness of the Lord should lead us to repentance.[Rom 2:4] Consequently, through the fear of the LORD, one turns away from evil.

The consequence is amazing when a person becomes righteous. A life pleasing to the Lord will make him live peacefully with his enemies. This godly living has a profound effect on his enemies. That is, a life that avoids undue insults (Prov 15:1), revenge (Rom 12:19), and unethical treatment of others (Luke 6:35; Prov 3:30) leaves little reason for others to be vengeful or hateful. In some cases, upright conduct can even win over one's enemies (Rom 12:20).
