God works in ways that we do not understand. Sometimes God’s protection comes in the form of peace and strength in the middle of despair. God’s judgment does not consist of words only. It is not just a mere formality there is a real and terrible punishment to follow for those who are wicked and do not believe in Him.
The Bible says that the unrighteous will be punished. Jesus made it clear that the wicked were going to be punished. So we must be faithful to the Lord so that we can inherit God’s kingdom. We should walk in God’s righteousness so we can conquer this world.
Let us look at the following Bible verses that will encourage us to be faithful even when the wicked grow rapidly as the Lord himself will destroy them at the right time.
