  2. Review: Proverbs 16:2, 25 1 Corinthians 2:10-11 Matthew 7:13-14 Isaiah 55:8-9 Hebrews 7:12 • Is. 55:8-9 For when the priesthood is changed, of necessity there takes place a change of law also. “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.” All the ways of a man are clean in his own sight, but the LORD weighs the motives. There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.” For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. • Pr. 16:2, 25 • Matt. 7:13-14 • 1 Cor. 2:10-11 • Heb. 7:12; Heb. 5:9 Hebrews 5:9 And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation, God’s Word
