Why worship God when the ungodly are rich and happy?
"Such words are spoken against Me!” says God.
But you reply, "What did we say against God?"
You have said, `it is useless to serve God for what difference does it make if we keep His Laws and live a moral life? The conceited are happy and the immoral have honor and prominence. It seems that even those who provoke God are exalted!'"
But the Lord hears those who love Him and witness about Him to others. The names of those who love and serve Him, and pray to Him are written in His Book of Remembrance.
"They will be My people", says God, "in the day when I return to claim My own. I will save those who love Me, as a man saves his own son that serves him. Then the difference between the righteous and the wicked will be discerned, between those who serve God and those who do not."
For the day is coming when all the ungodly will burn and be totally destroyed by fire. But to those who love Jesus, He will come again with salvation, and His chosen will be content and live forever.
The above quotes are from these Bible texts:
Malachi 3:13-18; 4:1-2.

There's mercy in all of God's warnings. The more you love someone, the more fervent the warning. God would have none of His children lost, if we would just heed His warnings. Thanks for the reminder that God won't let evil go on forever.
