#9. What is Good. "The one who leads the upright astray in an evil way will himself fall into his own pit, but the blameless will inherit what is good." - Proverbs 28:10 (NET) In a sense this is the reap what you sow theme of the Bible which is prevalent in Proverbs. If you kick people you will be kicked, but if you buy people a meal, someone will also buy yours. Maybe too extreme. The problem with this proverb, and the problem points to the solution, is that we are not blameless. We are the evil ones. The solution is that someone who is blameless makes us blameless, and that person is Jesus Christ. But I am getting ahead of myself in all this inheritance stuff. What is good? What is the "good" that the writer writes about that the blameless will inherit?
What are good things to inherit?
What are bad things to inherit?
Is a lot of money good? Is debt bad? Is neglect bad? Is education good? What do you think? What are your ideas on what is good?
