“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” (Psalm 9:17).
This verse shows us that it is a serious thing for men to be wicked, and all our hearts are wicked by nature. However, this verse is also written to those who know who God is, but who forget Him. The first part of the verse is written mostly to those who are involved with false religions, but the second part is even more serious, for it is written to those who have given up the truth of God, after they have known it.
When we have the Bible, and know who God is, it is a serious thing to give it up. Then we become worse than those who have never known the truth of God. This is happening today in many Western countries — countries that have known the truth of salvation, and that were once known as Christian countries. But now many are giving up what they have known, and they will eventually fall under the judgment of God. How important it is for us as individuals to know the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior!
