Psalm 1 KJV Commentary
In this
blog, we will see detailed verse by verse commentary on Psalm 1 KJV. Written by
Samarpan Thorat.
What is the
theme of Psalm 1? The main them is about the benefit of being a righteous
person and the disadvantages of being an unrighteous person.
There are
two ways in life. One way leads to eternal life. Which is the life of blessing
and another way is the life of eternal condemnation which is life of curse and
life of destruction.
Same way
there are two ways to live.
One way is according to the will of God and the
other one is not accepting the will of God. Choice is ours whether to live a
blessed life or not.
There are
two types of people Righteous and wicked. Righteous people obey the word of God
and wicked people do not obey the word of God.
The main
difference between good people and sinner is that good people love God and
sinner hate God.
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Psalm 1:1 KJV Commentary
