OK Friends…time for The Book of Malachi in the BIBLE. How will you ( YOU ) know if GOD counts YOU as one of The Wicked…or…one of The Righteous?
Malachi Chapter 3 vs. 14 – 18
14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts?
15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
16 Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.
17 And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
Bottom Line
The Wicked / Him or her that serves not GOD
The Righteous / Him or her who serves GOD
So…Ladies and Gentlemen…you can be kind, politically correct, not hurt a soul and be a genuinely nice person…but if YOU DO NOT SERVE GOD you are counted as wicked.
The next verse talks of a day that shall burn as an oven…and Jesus warned us that there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth in this oven. My read on this is as follows:
Genuinely nice people will weep (cry) in darkness, and those who were blatantly wicked on earth will gnash their teeth in this oven of Hell.
Summary
This entire book (Coming to get YOU) was written to help you understand the world we live in and to make you aware that God is your Maker and you are to honor and serve HIM trough His Son JESUS / Yashua.
