A look at Psalms 1:5

[macuser]

• 

Psalms 1:5 Therefore the wicked will not survive the judgment, and sinners will not be in the community of the righteous.


Explanation

They shall stand there to be judged, but not to be acquitted. Fear shall lay hold upon–them there; they shall not stand their ground; they shall flee away; they shall not stand in their own defence; for they shall blush and be covered with eternal contempt.
Well may the saints long for heaven, for no evil men shall dwell there, “nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.” All our congregations upon earth are mixed. Every Church has one devil in it. The tares grow in the same furrows as the wheat. There is no floor which is as yet thoroughly purged from chaff. Sinners mix with saints, as dross mingles with gold. God’s precious diamonds still lie in the same field with pebbles. Righteous Lots are this side heaven continually vexed by the men of Sodom. Let us rejoice then, that in “the general assembly and church of the firstborn” above, there shall by no means be admitted a single unrenewed soul. Sinners cannot live in heaven. They would be out of their element. Sooner could a fish live upon a tree than the wicked in Paradise. Heaven would be an intolerable hell to an impenitent man, even if he could be allowed to enter; but such a privilege shall never be granted to the man who perseveres in his iniquities. May God grant that we may have a name and a place in his courts above! -- Spurgeon


Explanation

“Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,” etc. And may not a reason also be conceived thus, why the ungodly can never come to be of the congregation of the righteous: the righteous go a way that God knows, and the wicked go a way that God destroys; and seeing that these ways can never meet, how should the, men meet that go these ways? And to make sure work that they shall never meet indeed, the prophet expresseth the way of the righteous by the first link of the chain of God’s goodness, which is his knowledge; but expresseth the way of the wicked by the last link of God’s justice, which is his destroying; and though God’s justice and his mercy do often meet, and are contiguous one to another, yet the first link of his mercy and the last link of his justice can never meet, for it never comes to destroying till God be heard to say Nescio vos , “I know you not,” and nescio vos in God, and God’s knowledge, can certainly never possibly meet together.—Sir Richard Baker.

And to be one of the righteous so that we are not judged with the wicked?

Acts 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh .

 Fat,

Since we are justified only by faith in Christ Jesus, not by the righteousness of the law, let us not again stand in fear of and bondage to legal ordinances. While our salvation is settled by the work of Christ, the conflict of sin which still wars in the believer's members, may be settled by yieldedness to the Holy Spirit, Who is present in the believer to subdue the fleshly nature and to bear heavenly fruit through our lives.

Eph 4
24  and put on the new man, that after God hath been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.

2Co 6
14, Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness? 
15, And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever?
16, And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols? for we are a temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17, Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you,

Rom 6:16, Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves as servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
18, and being made free from sin, ye became servants of righteousness.

Gen 18:25, That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that so the righteous should be as the wicked; that be far from thee: shall not the Judge of all the earth do right

Gal 5:5 For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.

We need Jesus to have judgement pass over us because of the blood, the passover symbolizes this.

There'll be no atheists in heaven.
There'll be no unbelievers.
There'll be very few Democrats in heaven.
