Commentary on Proverbs 11:19

Theological / Devotional

Tendeth to life. This verse states a simple and well-known truth. Since Christ draws unto Himself all men, and the Father deals out to every man a measure of faith, a man must choose either to respond to that drawing power or to resist it and be lost. Eternal life is as sure a reward for righteousness as eternal death is for sin (John 12:32; Rom. 6:23).
