(4) “You must make a decision!” (vv. 32-36). Having declared God’s truth, Wisdom now calls for a decision, as all faithful heralds must do. How people respond to God’s message is a matter of life or death (vv. 35-36), and it’s impossible to be neutral. Wisdom calls for a sincere, life-changing decision that involves turning from sin (repentance) and turning to Christ (faith). If the decision is real, it will result in a commitment to the Lord that leads to meeting with Him daily, like a servant at the master’s door.

Those who reject God’s truth sin against their own souls. Those who hate God’s truth are heading for eternal death (Rev. 20:11-15).
