Psalms 37:22-24.
For those blessed by Him shall inherit the earth, But those cursed by Him shall be cut off. 23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the Lord upholds him with His hand.
For those blessed by Him shall inherit the earth, But those cursed by Him shall be cut off. 23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the Lord upholds him with His hand.
-- Psalms 37:27-28. Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell forevermore. 28 For the Lord loves justice, And does not forsake His saints; They are preserved forever, But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.
Those who follow God in Christ are blessed and led by Him. They take great pleasure in this, ding right as they follow, knowing they can absolutely rely on His hand to hold them up. But we are also called to do good and run from evil - this is our lifelong response to Him saving us from the justice of punishment for sin we all deserve. In the end, those not accepting His pardon and continuing mockingly to pursue their own evil will face judgement still. Since we have escaped so great a judgement, let us never excuse our sin, but continually admit and turn from it.
