The Devil’s Favorite Question

The Devil’s Favorite Question
by: David Murray

How Much Will You Lose?

“How much will you lose if you follow Jesus?” That’s the devil’s favorite question; he has successfully used it more than any other to lead billions to hell.The Bible clearly warns that there will be loss in following Jesus. However, it also teaches that there are compensating gains. So, in addition to counting the cost, we must also count the profit. Yes, there are expenses, but there’s also income.Proverbs 3:1–10 helps us answer God’s question, “How much will you gain if you follow wisdom?” In this article, we’ll audit wisdom’s material gains.

Wisdom Will Usually Make Your Life Better in the Long Term

Let’s pause to identify three general principles that will help us in our Wisdom University classes. First, by saying “usually,” we’re acknowledging that the proverbs give us general rules, but also that there are exceptions. Proverbs are not cast-iron guarantees, but general maxims that usually work out in life (though not always in the way we think).Second, in the context of the book of Proverbs, better means “more blessed by God,” which means “more approved by God.” That approval is sometimes manifested in material success, but always in spiritual prosperity.Third, the proverbs are more about the long term. We might experience short-term losses along the way, but ultimately we’ll attain perfectly blessed living forever.Wisdom promises short-term pains but long-term gains.Read More – Go to SourceThis article is adapted from Proverbs: Stories of Wisdom and Folly.Need a prayer?
