10
It begins with a warning to not reject God’s Word.
11
Prov 13:1
12
Prov 13:1 An exhortation to receive God’s Word.
13
The Contrast!
14
The Contrast! Scoffers are unable to learn from the warnings, reproof or chastisement of those more wise, (i.e., Bible Doctrine), Prov 9:7f; 13:1; 14:6; 15:12; 19:25.
15
Those who act proudly are called scoffers, Prov 21:24, and they are an abomination to all, Prov 24:9.
16
A good way to remove contention from a group is to evict the scoffer, Prov 22:10.
17
Prov 5:13, “I have not listened to the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to my instructors!”
18
The scoffer does not listen to God’s Word especially when it tells him he is doing something wrong and it has negative consequences. He laughs at it and disregards it.
19
We have seen this opening exhortation in:
20
Prov 1:8, “Hear, my son, your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.”
21
Prov 3:1, “My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments.”
22
Prov 4:1, “Hear, O sons, the instruction of a father, and give attention that you may gain understanding.”
23
Prov 4:4, “Then he taught me and said to me, “Let your heart hold fast my words; keep my commandments and live”.”
24
Prov 4:20-21, “My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. 21 Do not let them depart from your sight; keep them in the midst of your heart.”
25
Prov 5:1, “My son, give attention to my wisdom, incline your ear to my understanding.”
26
Prov 5:7, “Now then, my sons, listen to me and do not depart from the words of my mouth.”
27
Prov 6:20, “My son, observe the commandment of your father and do not forsake the teaching of your mother.”
28
Prov 7:1-2, “My son, keep my words and treasure my commandments within you. 2 Keep my commandments and live, and my teaching as the apple of your eye.”
29
Prov 7:24, “Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, and pay attention to the words of my mouth.”
30
Prov 8:33, “Heed instruction and be wise, and do not refuse it.”
31
Prov 15:5, “A fool rejects his father’s discipline, but he who regards reproof is sensible.”
32
Prov 23:22, “Listen to your father who begot you, and do not despise your mother when she is old.”
33
Why stressed repeatedly?
34
Why stressed repeatedly? Children tend to not listen to their parents, especially in those teen and young adult years.
35
If we are lax in our intake and application of God’s Word it has the result of producing various kinds of problems and difficulties.
36
God is trying to help us avoid stupid mistakes and subsequent problems in life by giving us His Word.
37
When your love for Christ wanes, the door of temptation is opened wide.
38
When your love for Christ wanes, the door of temptation is opened wide. Mat 24:12, “Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold.”
39
Rev 2:4, “But I have this against you, that you have left your first love.”
40
Mat 6:24, “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”
41
Our attentiveness to God’s Word is crucial if we are going to thrive spiritually and mature in Christ.
42
Prov 19:16, “He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, but he who is careless of conduct will die.”
43
When we are attentive and put into practice God’s mandates, we take steps that will help preserve our lives physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
44
Eccl 8:5, “He who keeps a royal command experiences no trouble, for a wise heart knows the proper time and procedure.”
45
Prov 28:4, “Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law strive (contend) with them.”
