"Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat they fruit of their doings." Isaiah 3:10
God promises that we will eat the fruit of our doings whether we are righteous people or wicked people. It all follows the, "you reap what you sew" principle. Take a look at what happens to the wicked:
"Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him." Isaiah 3:11
Its tough to live in a nation and world filled with so much wickedness. Christians have to make a choice to operate under God's standards and not the world's standards.
The people operating in wickedness are under the judgement of God. And trust me, that is a scary place to be. However, the righteous are spared God's wrath and judgement. The righteous will not only be spared, but they will be rewarded as well.
And here's the real kicker --- Christians can operate in wickedness. Just because we are a Christian doesn't mean that we automatically live righteous lives. Wickedness can creep in and destroy anyone. So, what should we do? We need to ask the Lord to help us be diligent in protecting our hearts from wickedness, and cultivate righteousness in our hearts.
