How do we know the importance of avoiding the counsel of the ungodly?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible warns against seeking counsel from the ungodly, as it leads away from God's truth and towards spiritual devastation.
Psalm 1 illustrates that a truly blessed man does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly. This counsel often diverges from God's wisdom and leads to a way of life that is contrary to His commandments. The guidance of the ungodly may seem appealing or wise in the eyes of the world, but it is ultimately destructive, as shown in the life examples from Scripture. Those who take counsel against the Lord, such as the Pharisees in John 11:53, find themselves in opposition to God's will. Therefore, avoiding such counsel is crucial for maintaining a life that is grounded in truth and righteousness, leading to spiritual prosperity.
