Proverbs 15:24 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
‘The way of life is above to the wise.’ Four contrasted ways: The way of the wise – the way of fools. The way of life – the way of death. The way above – the way beneath. The way to heaven – the way to hell.
The way of the wise leads to life and ascends to heaven, where Christ is. Christ Himself is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6), and Scripture reveals Him as the sevenfold Way: The only way to God (Matt. 7:14; John 10:1, 7, 9; 14:6). The way of escape from temptation and sin (1Cor. 10:13). The way into the Most Holy Place, granting access to God (Heb. 9:8-15; 10:19-23). The new and living way, opened through His sacrifice (Heb. 10:20; 5:9). The way of truth, which is given to us by Christ through the gospel and His life (2Pet. 2:2). The right way, contrasted with false paths (2Pet. 2:15). The way of righteousness (2Pet. 2:21; 1Cor. 1:30). In Him, the journey of the wise finds its ultimate destination and purpose.
Whosoever WILL can be saved if he chooses the way of life (John 3:16; 1Tim. 2:4; 2Pet. 3:9; Rev. 22:17). The way of life IS the way to eternal life (John 6:63, 68).
