GOD’S WORD AGAINST THE WICKED
SATURDAY, MARCH 2
Psalm 119:118-120

Malachi 3:1-6

 

“…who shall stand when he appeareth?
for he is like a refiner’s fire,

and like fullers’ soap…”

 

GOD’S WORD AGAINST THE WICKED
 
The wicked are condemned. They continue to reject Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. They hear the Gospel but they do not open their hearts to believe in the truth. They injure and destroy God’s followers. The wicked deserve the punishment of God and await the final judgment in the eternal lake of fire. They have no hope of entering God’s heaven.
 
They are trodden down: The wicked are tossed aside because they have erred from God’s Word. They are shaken off like unwanted rotten fruits because they are bad fruits. They are trodden down because they deceive with their lies. The Lord will surely take them out from among His people. They may be found living amid saints on earth, but they are to perish forever. They have no place in God’s Kingdom. They can never rise to be with the holy.
 
They are put away like dross: The wicked while here on earth are to be destroyed. They have no part in the holy congregation. They will not stand before the righteous judgment of God. They have no righteousness, and they are to be cast away. They are like refuse that must be removed. Their sins and transgression stink. They are to be burned so that the pure and genuine people of God will remain unstained by their errors. God’s children will be separated from them.
 
The Word of God has complete instructions on how to discern the wise and the wicked. The Bible is the saint’s perfect guide in living a life safe from the evil influences of the wicked. The Word will show Christians the characters of the wicked that they can be identified. In response, believers have the responsibility to keep themselves away from the wicked. They must not walk with them, stand with them or sit with them. This means that believers must not agree with the wicked’s error, support them or plan wicked things with them.
 
Dear reader, tremble before the Lord and fear Him. Understand how God will condemn and punish the wicked. Be afraid of His judgments.
 
THOUGHT: Do I have the wisdom to know who the wicked are?
PRAYER: Father, keep me away from the error of the wicked that I may be a useful vessel for Thy glory and honour.
