RIGHTEOUSNESS versus Wickedness?
“The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but [HE LOVETH
HIM THAT FOLLOWETH AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS]” (Proverbs 15:8-9).
Every human being must take account of the magnitude of what is expected
of us in our lifetime on this earth. We must look back at the old world to see how God destroyed the earth
by a great flood because of WICKEDNESS!
“God saw that the [WICKEDNESS OF MAN WAS GREAT IN THE EARTH], and that
every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And
it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at
his heart” (Genesis 6:5–6).
“[For if God [SPARED NOT THE ANGELS THAT SINNED, BUT CAST THEM DOWN TO
HELL], and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto
judgment;
And [SPARED NOT THE OLD WORLD, BUT SAVED NOAH THE EIGHTH PERSON, A
PREACHER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS], bringing in the flood upon the world of the
ungodly;
And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them
with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live
ungodly;
And [DELIVERED JUST LOT], vexed with the filthy conversation of the
wicked:
(For that [RIGHTEOUS MAN DWELLING AMONG THEM], in seeing and hearing,
vexed his [RIGHTEOUS SOUL FROM DAY TO DAY] with their unlawful deeds;)” (2
Peter 2:4-8).
Therefore, we must do our utmost best to FOLLOW AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS
(Psalm 92:12)..
“For the [RIGHTEOUS] LORD loveth [RIGHTEOUSNESS]; his countenance doth
behold the upright” (Psalm 11:7).
“The LORD liveth, [IN TRUTH, IN JUDGMENT, AND IN RIGHTEOUSNESS]”
(Jeremiah 4:2).
“They that [FOLLOWETH AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS] and mercy findeth life,
righteousness, and honor” (Proverbs 21:21).
“Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to
come, that they may lay hold on [ETERNAL LIFE]” (1 Timothy 6:19).
“[TRUTH] shall spring out of the earth; and [RIGHTEOUSNESS] shall look
down from heaven” (Psalm 85:11).
