Sin has consequences while consecration to righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ brings great reward!

Consecration means being set apart or dedicated. Living devotedly for God rather than seeking approval from others. Proverbs 14:34 states that righteousness exalts nations; sin brings disgrace. Righteousness strengthens individuals and communities alike.

Blessings from Righteous Living

- Psalm 112 emphasizes blessings associated with fearing the Lord:

- Prosperity extends to future generations (children).

- Wealth and riches are promised in households devoted to God.

- Psalm 1 and Jeremiah 17:7-8 compares righteous individuals to trees planted by water—fruitful and prosperous.

- Matthew 6:33 emphasizes seeking God's kingdom first along with His righteousness for added blessings.

- Living righteously proves redemption; believers should reflect this change in lifestyle as new creations in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). We are made righteous by faith but give proofs that we are righteous by our deeds. These proofs are how we are known and they are apart of walking in the Blessing of God (Matthew 7:16-23).

- Hebrews highlights loving righteousness leads to favor and joy from God’s anointing above others (Hebrews 1:9).

Wages of Sin vs. Wages of Righteousness

- Sin leads to death; righteousness brings abundant life (Romans 6:23).
