Proverbs 12:28 In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death. I. A STRAIGHT, PLAIN, EASY WAY. God's commands (the rule we are to walk by) are all holy, just, and good. Religion has right, reason, and equity on its side. II. AS A SAFE, PLEASANT COMFORTABLE WAY. 1. There is not only life at the end, but there is life in the way; all true comfort and satisfaction. The favour of God, which is better than life; the Spirit, who is life. 2. There is not only life in it, but so as that in it "there is no death," none of that sorrow of the world which works death, and is an allay to our present joy and life. There is no end to that life that is in the way of righteousness. Here there is life, but there is death too. In the way of righteousness there is life and no death — life and immortality.
