The Ungodly Man: Psalm 1:5 Defined and Dissected
Psalm 1:5 (KJV)
5
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
C. He is Condemned (5)...ungodly: Morally wrong. Condemned guilty.
...stand in the judgment: The sinner will not be able to stand in the judgment. He will be called to the great white throne of judgment only to find that the heaven, the earth, and all that he had or did is gone. Everything he had done and every investment of his time and talent will be gone. He has no where to stand. He has nothing that will stand. He has built his house on the sinking sand.
Revelation 20:11-15 (KJV) 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
...nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous: The righteous are those whose sins have been washed by the blood of Jesus! Sinners are those who do not know Jesus. They are responsible for their sins, as His blood has not been applied to their account.
In eternity, sinners will not be where the righteous are. Frankly, let us be honest about this, Heaven would not be Heaven, if sin is present. One of the attributes of Heaven that all the blood washed believers eagerly await is the absence of sin.
Oh my friend, if you do not know Jesus as your Savior, repent and be saved. If your sins are washed in His precious blood, rejoice! He is ours, and we are His'. Someday we will walk the streets of glory and be with the one who loved us enough to die on Calvary's cross for our sins!
