What is a wicked person?

• “The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.” (Pro 11:18)

This question seems to be easy to be answered. Nonetheless, wicked isn’t only someone that make evilness. When we help someone in something that isn’t good to the person we are being wicked. So that you can understand, imagine:

• a beggar asking you for money and, after this, spending their money in drugs and alcoholic beverage. Your money will contribute for him destructing his life and the life of people around him;
• Imagine you helping someone to prosper in their business and, when he reaches the success, he derelicts Jesus Christ and don't have more time to the spouse and children;

Certainly we need to help people:

• “If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?” (Jas 2:16).

Nonetheless:

• “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.” (Mat 7:6).

The unique way to help people truly is seeking Jesus in prayer. Only Jesus can reveal to us what the person needs and what the right quantity.

Don't think that the more, the better. Money in excess is curse (see, for instance James 5:1-6; Ezekiel 18:8; Proverbs 11:24; 1Timothy 6:10):

- or the person will spend money in harmful things (for example, junk food or licentious demeanor - Ephesians 4:17-19);
- or the person will have to chuck in his peace "serving to his wealthiness" so that it doesn't lose itself, whether for robbery, inflation, rust, etc;
- or the person will have to disburse with the illnesses acquired trying to get and keep safe his richness.

Understand: money doesn't bring joy; rather, it is the correct use of the money that make us fraught of relish.

So, have a good day seeking for you and people around you only the boons that comes from hearing the Creator's voice, believing that:

• “The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.” (Pro 10:22).
• And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.” (Deuteronomy 28:1,2).

There is one thing that determines if a person is wicked, or even a "lawbreaker," and it is based upon whether a person has received the Circumcision of Christ or not. What determines if a person is wicked is if the Curse that stems from the Fall of Adam and Eve has been removed and disassociated from the human heart.

This Circumcision of Christ is fully explained in Colossians 2:9-15.
