Salvation And The Wicked

"Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes."  Psalm 119:155.  The statutes of God provide deliverance from wickedness.  God's law offers salvation because it provides pardon for our sins.  The statutes of God speak to us of salvation.  His statutes teach us the way of salvation.  His statutes are a revelation of His grace.  These statutes must be sought.  One must seek to know God, and without His statutes, God cannot be known.  The Bible tells us of God and of His love and the forgiveness that He desires for all.  The wicked do not seek to know God.  Their only desire is to know evil.  The wicked do not seek God's law because that law forbids wickedness.   The statutes of God can remove us from wickedness.  They teach us of right living.  They shed light upon the darkness of evil.  They break Satan's chains which bind us.   God's statutes deliver us from the prison of sin.  They release us from the fleshy lusts which war against the soul.  God's statutes enlighten us of a holy life that gives salvation now and forever.
