The first psalm contrasts two ways in which we may walk: the way of the righteous and the way of the ungodly. One of these is the way of life, leading to happiness both now and in eternity; the other is the of death and utter ruin. Which will you choose?" }

In other words, how does one who wants justification by faith behave?" }
