D20M, Similar?

Posted in Blessing, Consequences, God's Law, God's Word, Judgment, Piety, Psalm 1, Sanctification, tagged , , , , , on January 20, 2024| Leave a Comment »

How are the righteous and wicked similar? Both are created by and accountable to their Creator (1). Being made in their Creator’s image with a spirit, they will exist for eternity (2). Both of them have fallen, sin natures, and are therefore under God’s wrath (3). They can hear the Word of God and are responsible for what they hear (4). They both have knowledge of God’s existence, nature, and power through what is created (5). Both have sinned and deserve hell (6). The sun and rain fall on both (5), an indication of common grace.

D18M, Two Options

Posted in Faith, Psalm 1, Wickedness, tagged , , , on January 18, 2024| Leave a Comment »

There are no more than two options, two types of people, righteous and wicked. There are no disinterested or OK or “good people” or as yet undecided or ignorant. And even if you fancied yourself in one of these categories, you are no longer. “If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15

God saves all of those who come to Him, who trust Him to save them from their sin.

D8M, “Nor sinners”

Posted in God's Law, God's Word, Judgment, tagged , , , , on January 8, 2024| Leave a Comment »

“Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous” (Psalm 1:4)

Presently many unsaved sinners do than in the assembly of the righteous and sometime lead. “But when the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the tares became evident also.” (Matthew 13:26) But that is not how it will end: “So just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the age.” (Matthew 13:40)

The phrase being considered is a parallel thought to “wicked will not stand in the judgment.” (v.4) Because they have no hope in the judgment, then there is no hope of them being among the righteous. The consequence for them will be dire, eternal separation from God. The consequence for those of us who believe is that they will not be among us any longer inciting us to evil, deceiving us with falsehood, or leading us astray.
