The bible is one book that has stood the test of time because it contains divine truth. People who go through life without studying the Bible are like a blind man walking on a high traffic road. The bible contains divine wisdom that helps us to navigate the waters of life. Take for example, the warning, “Whoever repays evil with good, evil will never depart for his house.”
This warning given to us by God in the bible is a jewel for those who know it, but a trap to those who don’t. Of course, you have to be a wicked person to repay evil with good. But even if you were a wicked person, reading this in the bible could change you for the better and save you from making this terrible mistake.
Because of a lack of knowledge of God’s word, people go around doing all kinds of other things that are ungodly, and that have the potential to bring negative consequences. Some are more dangerous than others.
Consider the following:
Do not plunder the poor because they are poor, because God will plunder the souls of those who plunder the poor.
God will come swift against sorcerers and those who oppress the hireling in their wages.
If repaying good with evil brings such terrible consequences, think of the heavenly rewards the converse would bring: do good unto those who do evil to you: Surely, this will earn you a treasure in heaven!
