You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth.
32 The wicked [rasha`] watcheth
[tsaphah] the righteous [tsaddiyq], and seeketh [baqash] to
slay [muwth] him. KJV-Interlinear
32 The wicked watches for the righteous and seeks to put him to
death. ESV
The wicked, refers to anyone who functions outside of Gods will. The wicked includes non-Christians, for obvious reasons, but it also can include Christians who refuse, or are indifferent toward, functioning within the spiritual life as God intends.
God created the spiritual process. It is not a difficult process to understand, for it requires only that Christians confess their sins on a regular basis in order to live within a spiritual environment. And while in the spiritual environment, which we call fellowship, Christians are expected to learn Bible doctrine, which is the word of God.
While learning, Christians gain an understanding, which is the ability to discern or distinguish right from wrong, truth from false.
And while learning, and living within that spiritual environment, which we call fellowship, Christians grow up in their spiritual life, and gain wisdom, which is advancement toward spiritual maturity, which is the objective of the Christian life.
A person has to be a Christian, obviously, in order to have a spiritual life in the first place. And, a person has to want to learn Bible doctrine, in order to know what it is that God wants him to know. And, a person has to pursue the learning of Bible doctrine, in order to get anywhere within their spiritual life.
The spiritual process is something that God provides so that we can be more and have more in life, as He intended.
The non-spiritual process, is when the individual tries to do everything themselves, separate and apart from God’s will and God’s process.
The spiritual process is grace, and the non-spiritual process is mans works.
And when you live outside of Gods will, then you do so by choice, and you do so by rejecting God’s process.
When God’s process is rejected, whether it is done actively or passively, then the individual by default, declares that his method is better than God’s method. And that is the attitude of the wicked. Any rejection of Gods will is a form of wickedness.
The wicked, therefore, by rejecting God’s will, declare that they can achieve and or gain what they want, apart from Gods grace. They in effect, are attempting to take for themselves, the things that God intends to provide for spiritually obedient individuals.
And therefore, the wicked in effect put to death, which is a separation from something, the blessings of God from those they are intended for, namely spiritually obedient believers in Christ.
And far too often, people are caught up in their own opinions, and are blinded by their own stubbornness, and refusal to listen and learn Bible doctrine.
These studies are a part of the massive daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org, and are written, so that you can come to Christ if you have not done so already, and therefore not be lost forever.
And if you have already believed in Christ, then these studies are written so you can learn and understand and grow in your spiritual life, so that you can come to the full knowledge of Christ, so that you can fulfill your meaning and purpose in life as God intended for you, and so you can qualify for a phenomenal eternal reward which you will have forever. To ignore this opportunity to pursue a daily study means you will be incomplete, unfulfilled and you will lose out, big time.
The Daily Bible Study is online, making it possible as never before in all of human history, to advance in ones relationship with God, through Christ, and to complete yourself beyond your imagination.
But you have to decide to make that commitment. No one else can study for you. You have to do that yourself.
