Psalms 1:4 (KJV) Not So

Psalms 1:4 (KJV)
The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Barnes says that the term ungodly is, in this case, a general one. This is not necessarily the person totally abandoned to wickedness but the one who:

• Walks in the counsel of the ungodly
• Stands in the way of sinners and
• Sits in the seat of the scornful

By this definition a Christian can be as ungodly as the lost man.

The point of the passage is just this; every promise and blessing God has in store for the godly, the ungodly misses. A Christian, even an ungodly one, cannot miss heaven, but he can miss the blessing of God on his way to heaven. He can miss the joy a Christian owns and he can miss eternal rewards in heaven.

Whatever is true of the godly is not so of the ungodly.
