“WORKERS OF INIQUITY”
† † † † †
Who Are They?
Who are the workers of iniquity? What do they do? Where will they be in eternity? The word INIQUITY means (Webster) Wickedness; injustice; unrighteousness; crime; evil; sin.
By the above definition, people who do these things are “WORKERS OF INIQUITY.”
Are you righteous? (righteous means, just; honest; holy; deserved) if you are not, then you are unrighteous, and the unrighteous are in the class with the “WORKERS OF INIQUITY.”
In the world there are only two kinds of people. Good and bad, righteous and unrighteous, saints and sinners. In the Bible we are told by Jesus Himself that in the last day He will divide the nations as a shepherd divides the sheep from the goats. The sheep are His people, the ones who have lived for Him and been faithful. (Without sin). The goats on His left hand are the people who do not live for Him or have not been faithful. (Do sin). You can read this for yourself and see which side you are on. You may fool everyone and have all thinking you are all right, but, remember...God knows you and every thought that passes through your mind. (Hebrews 12, 13) Read it. Are you a “WORKER OF INIQUITY?” The word iniquity means “SIN.” If you sin in any way, you are a sinner, hence a worker of iniquity. You might say, “My pastor told me if I got saved 20 years ago I could never be lost” Look for yourself and see if you can find such a teaching in the entire Bible. Your pastor might have told you this, but you will not be judged by what your pastor says unless it is truth. On judgment day we will be judged by the Word of God, the Holy Bible.
In Exodus 33:33, God told Moses that whoever sinned against Him (God) He would blot his name (the persons) out of His book (the Book of Life).
It is just this simple, if you sin, then you are a worker of iniquity and your name is NOT in the Book of Life. “And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:15. What a horrible thought, to be cast into hell.
Jesus said (Matthew 7:21) in that day many would say “Lord, Lord” but only the ones who did the will of the Father which is in heaven would enter therein. Could you say the sins you commit each day are the will of God? No sane person would say yes.
Then in Matthew 7:23 Jesus said depart from me, "ye that work iniquity." In other words, you people that sin, depart from me into eternal punishment.
Honest soul, if you see you are in this condition, you don't have to be. Ask God to deliver you from the power of sin and the devil.
Matthew 1:21 says He (Jesus) shall save His people FROM their sins. So ask God to save you and give you a life free from the bondage of sin. Don’t be caught on the last day a worker of iniquity. It will be too late then.
