What does proverbs 16 24 mean?

Answer 1

Proverbs 24:16

For a just man falleth seven times, andriseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

It is talking about baptism and taking on the name of Christ and repenting of sins and enduring through life as a follower of Christ. ANSWER The righteous man falls, he fails, he sins; but he always repents, corrects his ways, and gets back up. For the current church age, its a testament of those who are truly Christians, born again, that have Christs righteousness in their new nature, their new man. It causes the believer, who sins, who fails and falls to become convicted of their sin by the Holy Spirit, and to repent of the sin, and get back up to follow after Christ again. Its a proof of salvation. All sin, the believer still has his old nature intact along with his new nature, and at times he listens to the old nature, and as a result he sins, but becomes convicted by the Holy Spirit, repents, and gets back right with God. The wicked, who God classifies us all of before salvation, in our natural state, have a promised end of mischief That is accumulating consequence in this life, the result of our sins, that gain a stronger hold on us over time with increasing bad consequence and finally when we die, without Christ, we suffer the eternal consequence of the Judgement of God, the consequence of rejecting Christ's free gift of salvation to us in this life.
