Do you long for righteousness? Seek the grace of the Creator, and not His condemnation:

• Proverbs 14:9 -> “Fools laugh at sin, but among the righteous there is favor.”.

Unfortunately, many people make of the sin their source of maintenance or of amusement. One example of this can be seen below:

• Pro 26:18 -> “For like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death, so is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, Am I not joking?”.

If you pay attention carefully, you will see that the chief diversion of people has to do with deprecating people, whether through games, pranks, gossips, mockeries. It’s impressive how people waste money in entertainments which always implies in ones making their name great at expenses of others.

Why not try to be happy making the others well succeeded? One of the reasons can be below:

• Jude 1:18 -> “But you, beloved, remember the words spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, because they told you that at the last time there will be mockers according to their lusts, leading ungodly lives.”.

As Jesus said:

• Joh 3:19,20 -> “And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be exposed.”.

Did you already take heed in how many people make money at the expenses of the people’s sins (see Hosea 4:8)? For instance, people who works:

• At atelier;
• At saloon;
• At house of harlotry;
• With addiction;
• With games;
• With snack bar;
• Loaning money;

Few are people who work prioritizing friendship and helping people to know Jesus better. It is good to remember that the righteous is called “house of prayer”, that is to say, a place where people can find Jesus’ grace.

It comes the question: how do people desire to receive Jesus’ grace?

• 2Co 6:1 -> “But working together, we also call on you not to receive the grace of God in vain.”.

Many believers go to the throne of the grace (Heb 4:16), not to receive the grace of the Creator, but His judgment or wealth in order to dominate over others or, at least, get rid of them.

Others receive the grace, but, in virtue of not wishing to get free of the sin, belittle the goodness and mercy of the Creator that are following them (Ps 23:6), opting for living a religious life full of rules and charges which, beyond not purifying the conscience, only make people proud and, thereby, cruel in regard to the others.

So, have a good day seeking out in Christ His grace and, of course, making use of it so that people can know Jesus through you.
