It's very enlightening to read THIS, from Psalm 94:1-3:
1 O Lord God, You to Whom vengeance belongs, O God, You to Whom vengeance belongs, shine forth! 2 Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render to the proud a fit compensation! 3 Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph and exult?
... which is all about the wicked and WHEN is God going to deal with them, and then to read THIS, from Luke 15:1-7:
Now the tax collectors and [notorious and especially wicked] sinners were all coming near to [Jesus] to listen to Him. 2 And the Pharisees and the scribes kept muttering and indignantly complaining, saying, This man accepts and receives and welcomes [preeminently wicked] sinners and eats with them. 3 So He told them this parable: 4 What man of you, if he has a hundred sheep and should lose one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness (desert) and go after the one that is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his [own] shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he gets home, he summons together [his] friends and [his] neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep which was lost. 7 Thus, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one [especially] wicked person who repents (changes his mind, abhorring his errors and misdeeds, and determines to enter upon a better course of life) than over ninety-nine righteous persons who have no need of repentance.
Do you see what a change in attitude WE are to have concerning unbelievers, the wicked and those who persecute us? Look at Luke 5:43-45:
43 You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy; [Leviticus 19:18; Psalms 139:21,22.] 44 But I tell you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, [Proverbs 25:21,22.] 45 To show that you are the children of your Father Who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good, and makes the rain fall upon the upright and the wrongdoers [alike]. AMP
Now look at 2 Peter 3:9:
9 The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people's conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance. AMP
Let's make that slight attitude adjustment to one that recognizes evil, and HATES it (Romans 12:9), but that also acknowledges the infinite love of our Father God for ALL people! Remember that while WE were yet sinners, Christ died for us! He died once, for all (Romans 5:8)! For all sinners, for all time! No one is excluded by HIM, but by their very own choice! Let's commit to sharing the Good News so that not one person is left who has not yet heard that great Good News! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Glow":
Shalom in Him!
