In the millennial reign of Christ, "righteousness reigns," but in the eternal state, "righteousness dwells." (See verse 13 of the same chapter.)
1 John 3:88He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. (1 John 3:8) tells us for this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy ("undo," N. Trans.) the works of the devil. This will be the eternal state when all evil will be done away from the new creation.
The wicked are under the judgment of God-still evil in their nature. In Rev. 2:11,11He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. (Revelation 2:11) they are unable to enter the new creation of manifested glory. The solemn, awful thought given of the Lord Himself is this: "The wrath of God abideth on him." John 3:3636He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (John 3:36).
Paul could find no words to convey the blessedness of coming glory for the believer, but the awful future of the unsaved is very solemn—eternal punishment. (Matt. 25:4646And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. (Matthew 25:46).)
HIGH, in the Father's house above,
Our mansion is prepared;
There is the home, the rest we love,
And there our bright reward.
With Him we love, in spotless white,
In glory we shall shine;
His blissful presence our delight,
In love and joy divine.
All taint of sin shall be removed,
All evil done away:
And we shall dwell with God's Beloved
Through God's eternal day.
