THE WICKED ARE FAR AWAY

THE WICKED ARE FAR AWAY

Ps. 119:155 The wicked are far from salvation, for they do not bother with your principles. NLT

When people ignore God's Word there are predictable results. They live lives of sin. They reject and often scorn the Gospel message. They stay away from God's house. They put all their investments in the world and what it offers. They show no concern for eternity or the status of their souls. They oppose the Gospel and those who live it. Many go out of their way to try to silence the Gospel and her messengers. They fall deeper and deeper into the evil world. They wander so far away from God that most do not ever find their way to Him.

The reason why it's so important for us to be active students of the Scriptures is so that we don't start drifting away from God and wander into the cesspool of sin. We do not have the wisdom, willpower, or ability, to stay away from sin without God's Word to guide us. God will help those who are willing to help themselves. The better we know the Scriptures, the better chance we have of staying away from sinful living. You can be assured that everyone who is wicked in heart is that way because they have not sought the Lord through His Word. There is no hope of the wicked being saved as long as they refuse to be bothered by God's Word.

The more consistent you are in daily reading and meditating on God’s Word, the more likely you will be to stay out of the clutches of wickedness. Deprive your mind and soul of God’s Word and you will wander away from God and fall into the cesspool of sin.
