The way of the wicked is like darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble.  Proverbs 4.19

It’s important for you to find out if you have been wicked or just because your everlasting happiness or unhappiness depends on it. No wicked will be justified in the Day of Judgment, unless he has had time to repent and to give account to the Lord. However, it is not only from the Eternal Judgment he will begin to suffer; for, in this life, everyone in wickedness will be attacked by the wicked one.

Small things make one single person from the holy people of God become wicked. Do not get involved with mistakes for any reason, even if it´s to justify any help for the heavenly work. Be an example in everything (1 Tim 4.12)! Under no circumstances let the author of temptations lead you with his lies. Honoring the Lord is always the best thing to do, and you do so by fulfilling his commandments. Those who do God’s will, certainly will be rewarded.

The Word of God teaches us never to sow bad seeds, since the harvest will be bad as well (Ga 6.7b). No one gathers what he didn’t sow, unless he has invaded and gathered something from the other’s land. Before the truth there is no exception. If the servant of God decides to do something wrong, based on the lie that the ends justify the means, he was cheated by the devil and doesn’t have the Lord on his side.

For refusing to walk in the Light, the wicked always move in the darkness (Jn 3.19). So, they are always stumbling on what the enemy puts before them. You know them for the reckless things they say and do. However, they don’t see that way; for them, those who walk according to the heavenly Word are fools, for they don’t know how to enjoy the good things of life. Many have been misled by the devil.

As the verse of this study says, they do not know what makes them stumble. Well, those who walk in the darkness can never see where his feet are. So, they are always stumbling on everything. What is worst is that they don’t wake up to watch the heavenly warnings. There is only one way for someone to leave wickedness: fear the Lord again. Thus, he will have the essential lamp to his feet and the light to his path (Ps 119.105).

We can be sure of one thing: God hasn’t planned for the saved to stumble. On the contrary, He levels the way for the one who is not ashamed to honor Him. However, the ones who are taken by the “opportunities” will realize that those “chances” were elaborated planes from Hell to defeat them.

On the other hand, those who don’t forsake the fear of the Lord will always succeed. Another important point is that being religious has nothing to do with practicing the Word. The ones who give the Word of God the same place given to Jesus please the Most High and are set free from the temptations.

In Christ, with love,
