Proverbs 12:28 In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
‘In the way of righteousness is life.’ Two things in the path of the righteous: Eternal life (Matt. 7:14) and immortality (1Pet. 3:4).
This way is a narrow way that leads to life but it cannot be given as an unforfeitable right until the end of the narrow way (John. 6:27; 10:1-28; 15:1-8).
The conditions of eternal life: Come to Christ (John 6:37, 44, 45, 65). Eat His flesh – drink His blood – partake in the Lord’s Supper (John 6:50, 51, 53, 58). Labour to live as Christ (John 6:27, 1Pet. 2:21-23). Hate (love less) the life in this world (John 12:25). Know God and Christ (John 17:2-3). Enter the right gate (Matt. 7:13-14). Don’t cause any offence to others (Matt. 18:8-9). Keep His commandments – obey His Word (Matt. 19:17). Forsake all (Matt. 19:27-29; Mark 10:28-30; Luke 18:28-30). Live free from sin (Rom. 5:21; 6:16-23; 8:1-13; Tit. 2:11-14).
