“A kind man benefits himself, but a cruel man brings trouble on himself. [18] The wicked man earns deceptive wages, but he who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.”
\n-(NIV) Proverbs 11:17-18<\/p>\n
There is an event that we benefit from if we choose to accept it. Christ died for our sins to be forgiven as stated in Isaiah: <\/p>\n
“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.”
\n-(NIV) Isaiah 53:5<\/p>\n
We are healed from our sin sickness and able to relate to God. <\/p>\n
“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”
\n-(NIV) Romans 10:9-10<\/p>\n
