START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
THE WICKED WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:9-10
THE WICKED WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM
Some in Corinth were deceived into believing that even if they were unfaithful to Christ, abandoning their relationship with Him and defying Him through immoral or unjust behavior, their salvation and inheritance in God’s kingdom were still secure.
- However, Paul affirms that spiritual death is the sure and final result of habitual sin, even for those who were believers at one time (Romans 8:13). No one can live for selfish or immoral pleasure and still have a part in God’s eternal kingdom (Romans 6:16; James 1:15; 1 John 2:4; 1 John 3:9). Paul repeats this foundational teaching often (Galatians 5:21 and Ephesians 5:5; Ephesians 5:6). Notice that this principle was frequently communicated by the Old Testament prophets (Jeremiah 8:7; 23:17; Ezekiel 3:10).
- Paul’s warning is directed to the whole Christian community. We must not be deceived: those who are “wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Any “salvation” that does not include the life-transforming, spiritually purifying and character-building work of the Holy Spirit is not genuine and has no place in New Testament teaching.
