Only Two Kinds of People - Part 2

Speaker: James Revelino Scripture: Psalm 1:4–6

As Psalm 1 teaches us, there are only two kinds of people in this world - the blessed, and the wicked. In the first three verses of this chapter, we learn the Bible’s description of the blessed man. The very next verse (Psalm 1:4) begins a contrast of the blessed man with the wicked man: “The wicked are not so…” Anyone whom the Bible does not call blessed is called wicked. The blessed trust in Christ, and the wicked are unbelievers. There is no gray area between both camps.

In Psalm 1:4-6, the Bible does not describe the wicked man. (No, it leaves his description as a contrast to the character painted in the previous verses.) Instead, Scripture shows the fate God has ordained for the wicked. This woeful fate is meant to draw any unbeliever to God for salvation.
