The Lord Jesus lets us know that it is the lack of God's love that leads man to practice animosity or even wickedness (the betrayals, the plots, the misgovernance and everything that we will see); Matthew 24: 11 Many false prophets will arise, and they will deceive many people . 12 And because iniquity is increased, the charity of many will grow cold. But what are the characteristics of wickedness? Let's look at some passages from the Bible:
-Mark 7:20 He said again, That which comes out of a man, that defiles a man. 21 For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lawlessness, envious looking , slander, pride, madness. 23 All these evil things come out from within, and defile a man.
-Psalms 10:2 The wicked in his pride pursues the poor, They are victims of the plots he has designed. 3 For the wicked glory in his lust, and the extortioner reviles and despises the LORD. 4 The wicked one says arrogantly: He punishes not! There is no God! -Here are all his thoughts. 5 His ways prosper at all times; Your judgments are too high to reach him, He blows against all his adversaries. 6 He said in his heart: I am not moved, I am safe from harm forever! 7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and deceit; There is malice and iniquity under his tongue. 8 He lies in ambush near the villages, He murders the innocent in remote places; His eyes spy on the unfortunate. 9 He lies in wait in his retreat, like the lion in his den, He lies in wait to surprise the poor; He surprises him and lures him into his net. 10 He bows down, he stoops, and the wretched fall into his clutches. 11 He said in his heart, God forget! He hides his face, he never looks!
-Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest: fornication, impurity, immorality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, animosities, strife , divisions, sects, 21 envy, drunkenness, overeating, and similar things (cabals or mysticism, backbiting, troubles or threats, bitterness or regret, outrages). I tell you beforehand, as I have said before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
-2 Timothy 3:1 Know that in the last days there will be difficult times. 2 For men will be selfish, lovers of money, boasters, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unfaithful, 3 insensitive, disloyal, slanderers, intemperate, cruel, haters of the good, 4 traitors, heady, being puffed up with pride, loving pleasure more than loving God, 5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof. Stay away from these men.
-Romans 1:29 being filled with every kind of unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, cunning, malice; 30 slanderers, slanderers, ungodly, arrogant, haughty, boastful, cunning in evil, disobedient to parents, devoid of understanding, 31 of loyalty, of natural affection, of mercy.
-2 Peter 2:1 There have been false prophets among the people, and there will also be false teachers among you, who will introduce wicked sects, and who, denying the Master who redeemed them, will bring upon themselves evil. sudden ruin. 2 Many will follow them in their dissoluteness, and the way of truth will be slandered because of them. 3 Through greed they will deal with you with deceitful words, who have long been threatened with condemnation, and whose ruin does not sleep. 4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down into the depths of darkness and reserved them for judgment; 5 if he did not spare the old world, but saved Noah, the eighth, that preacher of righteousness, when he brought the flood on an ungodly world; 6 if he condemned to destruction and reduced to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, setting them as an example to the ungodly ones to come, 7 and if he delivered the righteous Lot, who was deeply saddened by the conduct of these wicked men. brake in their dissolution 8 for this righteous man, who dwelt among them, tormented his righteous soul daily because of what he saw and heard of their criminal works; 9 The Lord knows how to deliver the godly from trial, and to reserve the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.
