Pursuit

“Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.” (Psalm 119:155)

Notice the Psalmist said, “seek not thy statues” and not “attained thy statues”.

The difference between the wicked and the righteous is not an issue of sin, for we are all sinners. The issue is that the wicked do not pursue God and His righteousness because they have no desire or wish to attain those things.

It’s not about sin, sinning or who is, or is not a sinner.

It’s not about being righteous and Holy, for we are all imperfect and unrighteous.

Salvation is far from the wicked because they are not in pursuit of righteousness and God, that’s what delineates the two. It’s not about attainment, it’s about pursuit.

Man will always seek his heart’s desire. You can’t stop him.
