Fool

Psalm 53:1 (NIV)

1 The fool says in his heart,

"There is no God."

They are corrupt, and their ways are vile;

there is no one who does good.

Fool is a term reserved in the Bible for the one without God. For this reason, it is not one to be used lightly, and we are not to refer to another as a fool.

Behaving with no regard to God and His commands places one in that company. There are many who are companions on the way to destruction. To them, their way seems right. How could it be otherwise, unless the Word of God is sought and understood? That is why it is so important to hold out the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus in our lives. It is life.
