There are those who are too righteous and those too carnally minded; the two cannot co-exist in relationship, unless there is Spiritual balance, straight down the Plumbline both going neither left nor right.
“Evaluation of carnality and an evaluation of spirituality. Your spiritual walk with God keeps everything in right perspective” Gino Jennings
The concept of balancing righteousness and wickedness is a recurring theme in life. It suggests that one can be too righteous and violate God’s Word, just as the carnally minded can be too wicked.
Conduct oneself neither to the extreme left nor right but down the center.
Being overly righteous or overly wise can lead to self-destruction. Solomon warns against striving for a self-made righteousness based on outward adherence to rules and thinking of oneself as self-sufficient in matters of knowledge, especially concerning the things of God.
This excessive focus on righteousness can lead to neglecting the more significant aspects of faith. Comparably, being overly wicked or foolish can lead to premature death or a life devoid of hope.
Balance is the key, by grasping both righteousness and wisdom without letting go of either. Doing so helps us avoid extremes, and deal responsibly with all aspects of reality.
The spiritually minded, who fear God, will avoid extremes, and are more powerful and wise than many rulers.
But woe unto him who the world speak well of (Luke 6:26). Being spiritually minded keeps us in God’s peace, and HIM in our spiritual perspective for everything. Walk neither left nor right with Judas in the midst, like Christ.
