Psalm 37:34 Wait on the Lord and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
The contrasting promise and warning of Psalm 37 is that the righteous will inherit the land and the wicked will be cut off. Heaven is life eternally in God’s presence; hell is eternal separation from God. Our response to God’s Word is wait on the Lord and keep his way. Waiting is paying attention to the Lord and trusting Him. Keeping is believing His Word and living according to it. Jesus does it all for us and we enjoy His work for us by faith. We are righteous! Romans 4:3 “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.”
Faith in Jesus waits on the Lord and faith keeps His way in response to Grace. We pay attention to the Gospel while we wait for full salvation, and the implanted faith in us lives according to His way. Faith comes from hearing the Gospel as often as possible and faith lives out life accordingly. Believers will be exalted to inherit the land, the eternal kingdom that is within us and lasts forever. We live in eternal loving communion with God and Life.
