This sermon by Charles Finney describes the wicked according to Scripture, that God is angry with the wicked every day, the nature of his anger and the reason for God's anger against them. Finney expounds on the severity and longevity of God's wrath against the wicked in order to reveal the true condition of the sinner. Today many are not preaching the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. Wherever Finney traveled, revival followed. Above all, Finney was a man of prayer who lived a consecrated life unto God. If a man's heart is set upon the riches of this world how can he preach about the true riches which are only to be found in heaven? Is he not wicked for leading the sheep astray?
In speaking from this text I design to show briefly,
I. WHO ARE "WICKED" IN THE SCRIPTURE SENSE OF THIS TERM;
II. THAT GOD IS ANGRY WITH THEM;
III. THE NATURE OF THIS ANGER;
IV. THE REASONS FOR IT;
V. ITS DEGREE;
VI. ITS DURATION;
VII. THE TERRIBLE CONDITION OF SINNERS UNDER IT.
I. The Bible divides all the human race into two classes only; the righteous and the wicked. Those are righteous who have true faith in Christ, whose spirit is consecrated to God, who live a heavenly life on earth, and who have been renewed by the Holy Ghost. Their original selfishness is subdued and slain, and they live a new life through the ever present grace of Christ Jesus.
Right over against them in character are the wicked, who have not been renewed in heart--who live in selfishness, under the dominion of appetite in some of its forms, and it matters not in which out of all possible forms, it may be; but self is the great and only ultimate end of their life; these are in the scriptural sense, the wicked.
