Daily Bible Reading: Genesis 25, 26, 27; Psalm 9, 39, 69, 99, 129; Proverbs 9
“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psalm 9:17
The verse at hand is a powerful reminder to us today. As God’s people (so-called) sit back on their blessed assurance, they are resting in the truth of eternal security. Thank God for eternal security! We must keep in mind that with great blessing come great responsibilities. We have electricity that heats our home and lights our hallways. We still enjoy the ability (for now) to worship the one true God freely as our conscience dictates. BEWARE!
Look at the heart-wrenching truth before us today. “The wicked shall be turned into hell,”. This alone should be a call to service to every born again human being. In our day, they want to eliminate the cross and the blood of Jesus from our hymn books. They have watered down God’s Word and called it a “translation”. You see, our nation is trying to suppress Christian truth to the place of non-existence in our country. We have allowed homosexuality to run rampant. What man calls an “alternative lifestyle”; God calls an abomination (something so heinous it makes Him want to vomit).
Think about the reality of Hell. It is a real place that burns with a fire that never goes out. The reality of weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. There will be no beer parties with our buddies. Only unanswered cries for mercy.
I hope this motivates us to want to win people to Christ! If not, you might check the level of your commitment.
The second part of the verse bothers me also. Not only are the wicked turned into Hell, but the nations that forget God, also. Romans chapter 1 talks about holding the truth in unrighteousness. What it is talking about is suppressing the truth. America is on the fast track to Hell.
So, what are you going to do about it?
