BE PREPARED FOR GOD'S JUDGEMENT
Pr 11:20,21 The LORD detests men of perverse heart but he delights in those whose ways are blameless. Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished, but those who are righteous will go free.
Likewise Paul writes, "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." 1Cor 6:9,10
Interesting to note that even in the New Testament where all are recognized as sinners, nonetheless it speaks of a categorical distinction between the righteous and the wicked - a distinction disclosed by one's characteristic behavior. In fact John writes, "Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. He who does what is sinful is of the devil." 1John 3:7,8
