The Righteous and the Wicked We believe that there is a radical and essential difference between the righteous and the wicked; that such only as through faith are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and sanctified by the Spirit of our God are truly righteous in His esteem; all such as continue in impenitence and unbelief are in His sight wicked and under the curse, and this distinction holds among men both in life and after death in the everlasting conscious blessedness of the saved and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost. Malachi 3:18; Gen. 18:23; Proverbs 11:31; Galatians 3:10; Luke 16;25 |
