Good vs Wrath

‘The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.’ The righteous are consecrated to goodness, but the wicked are consecrated to things that will produce the wrath of God.

One who is consecrated to obey the Bible and refuses to sin, cannot break the commandments of God. Therefore, he cannot sin, for sin is the transgression of the law (1Jn. 3:4). The reason given here for not being able to sin is that “His” (God’s) seed (the Word of God) remains (abides) in him. That is, the one born again refuses to transgress the commandment of God and commit sin. As long as this consecration remains he will be unable to sin. If he grows cold in his love for God, ceasing to pray and maintain his spiritual life, he then may be overcome again and sin by transgressing the Word of God (1Jn. 2:1; 2Pet. 1:5-10).

Children of disobedience is a Hebraism for people consecrated to satan and disobedience. The wicked one is their father (Matt. 13:38; John 8:44; 1Jn. 3:8-10; 5:18).
