Proverbs 24:19-20 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the wicked; For there will be no prospect for the evil man; The lamp of the wicked will be put out.” (Proverbs 24:19-20 NKJV0

This passage warns that there will be settling of accounts and there will be no good future for the wicked - that's the person who rejects God. This states the reality, 'the wicked have no hope of things to come.' They have no hope of everlasting joy. Yes, they may have their temporal seemingly good things now - in the view of the world. But, their evil days of torment are in the hereafter. They are therefore not to be fretted at and envied on. No reason to fuss about the lifestyles they flaunt. This world is their only best glimpse of heaven.

This lets us know, there is only one better way for us to live - that is in God's grace by faith in Christ Jesus. In Him, this world is our only worst glimpse of hell. Every way, other than through Christ Jesus, is the way of evil. Living that way, this warning clearly says that when their lamp is put out, their flesh withers and bites the dust. That’s it! There are no more prospects for a better end for the ungodly unless they turn around, believe and accept the Lordship of our Lord Jesus Christ. Staying their course, they are cast to languish in eternity. Lord Jesus said: “Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons." (Matthew 25:41 NLT)

At the seat of judgement where accounts are settled, the God of all creation, our Lord Jesus Christ, will declare to the wicked, to those who reject God and the religious pretenders of faith: “Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’” (Matthew 7:23 NIV)

And I say, AMEN!
