The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.
Proverbs 22:4, ESV
The Bible does not necessarily promise riches, honor, and life in this life. It is clear that we definitely inherit the richness of righteousness, the honor of the King of Creation, and eternal life in Christ.
For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it.
Mark 8:35, ESV

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
Proverbs 18:21, ESV

Do you spread love or hate?

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Proverbs 13:6, ESV
Our righteousness is found in Christ alone, and without turning and believing that we are destined for eternal destruction.
Choose Life.
And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
Luke 9:23-24, ESV
If we strive for our best life now, it means it only gets worse after we die (i.e. Hell).
Jesus calls us to be servants, yes, possibly even doormats if that is what it takes to show the love, grace, and mercy of God to this world.
“And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Acts 4:12, ESV
Jesus is the only answer for how to get to God. No other path, work, or deity can do it.
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
“Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Isaiah 55:1-2, ESV
We should drink mightily of the water of the Holy Spirit, the fountain of Life, and eat abundantly of the Word, reading Scripture and partaking in the Son of God, all to the glory of the Father.
