Violence covers the mouth of the wicked
Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot (Peribahasa 10:6-7)
The seed of man is affected by evil. That’s why, everyone, who won’t repent to the living Jesus Christ and not become dilahirkan semula in the spirit, will walk in the sinful nature, as the old creation, who thinks, walks, and talks like the world.
Their heart is unrenewed. Therefore their words, which come forth, out of their sinful nature and unrepented heart, contain violence. (Baca juga: What does the Bible say about the old man?).
Their words may seem pious, compassionate, hopeful, promising, and even credible, but their promising words will hide violence. Their words are poison and bring forth corruption. Not only to themselves but also to the people around them.
Why? Because, what they proclaim and promise are in reality lies, that oppose the Word of God.
They only proclaim prosperity, while the Word says something else, and live in rebellion as enemies of the Word.
Yesus berkata, by the fruit you shall know them. For a good tree can’t bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire (Matthew 7:17-19)
What lives in the heart of men will (eventually) become visible in their lives.
An unregenerate man lives as an enemy of God and His Word and walks in rebellion against God and His Word, doing the works of the flesh:
adultery, perzinaan, Uncleanness, Inordinate affection, koncupiscence jahat, ketamakan, anger, wrath, malice , blasphemy, Filthy communication out of your mouth, Lying, lasciviousness, Penyembahan berhala, witchcraft, hatred,, variance, emulations, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelling (Galatia 5:19-21, Kolose 3:5-9)
The memory of the wicked
For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption (Galatia 6:8)
Their name will be forgotten as long as they won’t repent of their works, and not become the new man, who God has created after His image. They will not be written in the Book of Life. If they are not written in the Book of Life, they shall enter eternal death.
The blessings of the just
But those, who believe in Jesus Christ and accept Him as Saviour and Lord, and become born again in Him, they are redeemed from their sinful nature. They’ve crucified their flesh in Christ and are risen from the (Rohani) Kematian. (Baca juga: Faith in the Name of Jesus).
They have exchanged their flesh, which was corrupted, for the spirit, and they shall walk in the life of God; in the spiritual blessings of God.
Since they belong to Jesus Christ, they have crucified the flesh with their affections and lusts. Itu, they not walk after the flesh, but after the Spirit, according to the Word, and bear the fruit of the Spirit:
Cinta, joy, peace, Panjang sabar, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance (Galatia 5:23-24)
The memory of the just
The just shall not only inherit the Kingdom of God but the just shall also bring the Kingdom of God on earth. They shall be a blessing to others and the memory of the just will be blessed. (Baca juga: Walk in the dominion that God has given you).
As long as the just walk on the path of life, their names shall be written in the Book of Life. And because their names are written in the Book of Life, they shall have eternal life.
