Verse Takeaways

The Gatekeeper of Promises
Commentators like John Calvin and Matthew Henry explain that this verse acts as a crucial boundary. After a chapter full of promises of redemption and peace, God explicitly states these blessings are not for the wicked. It prevents hypocrites from falsely claiming God's promises and reminds readers that God's blessings are tied to a right relationship with Him, not automatic.
