1. To my mind, we need to be far away from the ungodly because they hate the word of God and His works. They rebel against God and against his instructions and laws. They are truly in enmity with God. Consequent upon the unruly hearts of the ungodly, they have every now and then faced the wrath of God: “for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men…” Rom1:18
No one in history has been able to withstand the wrath of God. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because of their ungodly ways of life: “Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven. And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.” Gen. 19:24-25. The entire cities with their lands were destroyed.
But the ungodly that repents truly has a way out. There is pardon for him. Nineveh white as snow: though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” Isaiah 1:18.
The forgiveness of sin is certain for those who will repent: “ If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” 1John1:9. The Lord Jesus came that sinners might repent. Why should you stick to the ways of the ungodly people? Their promises of the things of this world only last for a short while. Therefore forsake the ways of the ungodly and hurry to obtain salvation from Christ, for in him alone can you obtain salvation: “Neither is there salvation in any other for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be save.” Act 4:12. So as we keep our distance from the ungodly ones and their evil ways and keep on praying for their repentance.
