Isaiah 65:14
My servants will shout for joy with a glad heart, but you will cry out with a heavy heart and wail with a broken spirit.
- The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish. - Psalm 112:10
Thinking about characteristics of those who are found NOT good and faithful are similar to false prophets, hypocrites, and the selfish. Said another way they are "actively wrong", "inwardly self-deceived" and only looking out for themselves. This section comes after the Parable of ten virgins Matthew 25:1-13) and the parable of talents (Matthew 25:14-30) further illustrating these ideas.
- 2 Peter 2:17, springs without water
- Ephesians 4:14, tossed around by every teaching (this reminds me of knowing how algebra works to get the answer verses looking at multiple choice to guess the right answer. In other words, you don't have to prove all the wrong answers when you know how to arrive at the correct answer.)
- Jude 1:12-13, shepherding only themselves, clouds without rain, wondering stars headed for total darkness
- Matthew 13:38, weeds are sown by the evil one
Good and faithful disciples help people obey everything Jesus commanded
(Matthew 25:34-36) Feed the hungry, give water to thirsty, give clothing to naked, care for the sick, visit the imprisoned
