The Ungodly

The ungodly are those folks that could care less about what God thinks, says, sees, hears or feels.  There is no fear of God before the ungodly's eyes.  The ungodly do not care if they hurt or offend God with their thoughts, words or actions.

The ungodly forget God, and could live without Him.  The ungodly is content without God.  The saved soul is awakened and rejoices in God.  The regenerate soul is drawn to God, and seeks to be like the Lord Jesus Christ, and to be filled and led by the Spirit of God, and desires to please and honor God.  Religion wants your to patch ups fictitious righteousness.  Christ died for the ungodly; He gave Himself for our sins; He through the Eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God; He gave Himself a Ransom for us all through a pure act of gracious mercy.

Christ is nothing to the ungodly; they take no heed to the Gospel's tender call.  The Lord Jesus Christ must come to your rescue - be wise - Call upon His name in truth. If you reject Jesus, you will die in your sins and surely perish.  The ungodly don't give Eternity a second thought, and they never search the Scriptures.  The ungodly take no heed to the warnings of the wrath to come; they give no heed to the words of God, and see no need to depend upon God.

God has had patience with you for many years now.  Your sins and Christ-rejecting unbelief has provoked God to wrath towards you.  Reckless, heedless, indifferent, neglectful rebels will be banished from the presence of God.  The great Gospel fact is that whosoever looks to the Lord Jesus Christ through faith in His Blood, that man's soul shall be saved, forgiven, rescued, redeemed, born again.  Self-righteous men try to merit salvation by their own works.  They prefer to do this, that, and the other.  Self-righteous human nature prefers any other mode of Salvation except for faith in Christ Himself.  Men want to fix themselves, and try to make their own progress by good resolutions.  Never build your eternal hopes on anything you have done or will do.

If you die in your sins without Christ, you will beyond hope of rescue.  Never look anywhere for Salvation but to the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.  Leave off going about to establish your own righteousness and to find some  other way of peace with God.  The Cross is the only way; put your sole trust in Jesus.  Stop closing your eyes to the Truth, and stop hiding your eyes from the light of the Gospel.  Look to Jesus and trust to Him with all your heart.  It's heart unbelief that damns the soul, that chooses to be saved by works, and is indifferent altogether about whether or not they are saved.  Human nature says, "I will not have this Man to reign over me."

Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the Lord?

[Jesus on the Cross] He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me. They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me. God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked. I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark. His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.  Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.  For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches. An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.

But to him that worketh not, but believeth on *Him* that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.  For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.

And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?  God spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked.  But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

The truth that God will punish the ungodly is without an exception; the fact that all who are outside of Christ shall perish is a fact without an exception; and the truth that all who are in Christ shall be saved from the wrath to come is also without an exception.

And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.  But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

The ungodly forget God, and could live without Him.  The ungodly is content without God.  The saved soul is awakened and rejoices in God.  The regenerate soul is drawn to God, and seeks to be like the Lord Jesus Christ, and to be filled and led by the Spirit of God, and desires to please and honor God.  Religion wants your to patch ups fictitious righteousness.  Christ died for the ungodly; He gave Himself for our sins; He through the Eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God; He gave Himself a Ransom for us all through a pure act of gracious mercy.  Christ is nothing to the ungodly; they take no heed to the Gospel's tender call.  The Lord Jesus Christ must come to your rescue - be wise - Call upon His name in truth.
