Who are the wicked?-1

19 November 2011 

Wickedness rules the world. Turn around to look at the happening around you. Daily news paper mostly carries news about murders, thefts, kidnapping, bribery, rape and murder of young girls, cheating, terror attacks, kidnapping planes for  ransom- it is an endless list. 

We need protection and an apparent understanding, to behave and to live in this world.

Wickedness:-as it is defined-  morally bad in principle or practice; mischievous ;troublesome;unpleasant, or offensive;intensely or extremely bad or unpleasant ; a scoundrel and villain.

Bible defines as:

“This is what the wicked are like— always free of care, they go on amassing wealth”. Psalm 73:12

 Bible lists up many characteristic feature of a wicked person.Read  some of the verses for understanding.

• “I have a message from God in my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked;There is no fear of God before their eyes. In their own eyes they flatter themselves too much to detect or hate their sin. The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful; they fail to act wisely or do good. Even on their beds they plot evil; they commit themselves to a sinful course and do not reject what is wrong. Psalm 12:1-4

• “who goes about with a corrupt mouth. Proverbs 6:12
• “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? Jeremiah17:9
• “….lies to their neighbor; they flatter with their lips but harbor deception in their hearts.Psalm 12:2

The general observation shows that the wicked lived long lives, became powerful, lived in peace and safety, became wealthy, and had everything they could possibly want and dream of. This is true today.

Some of the main  traits of the wicked person can be traced with the help of the HOLY BIBLE. They are:

Alienated  from God and  Blind at heart:

• “Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Ephesians 4:18

Boastful.

• “He boasts about the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.” Psalms 10:3
• “…who trust in their wealth and boast of their great riches? Psalms 49:6

Deceitful,Covetous and Murderers.

• “the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.Psalm11:2
• “Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit. The poison of vipers is on their lips. Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways, and the way of peace they do not know.There is no fear of God before their eyes: Romans 3:13
