Your choice

 ^"See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil." Deuteronomy 30.15

Because of free will given to men, God can not make his choices. This responsibility is purely his. But if he wants to live well and to ensure the salvation of his soul, he must heed the Divine advice and practice it. Otherwise, he will live poorly and ensure eternal damnation.

The mouth of God's servant

"Then the woman said to Elijah, 'Now by this I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is the truth.'” 1 Kings 17.24

The cry of a desperate mother was answered. Her son was raised from the dead by a word spoken by the prophet. Her immediate reaction was to recognize that the Word of God in the mouth of His servants is true. There you see one more difference between those who serve the Almighty and those who serve Him not.

Faith

"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4.19

This is the faith that makes a difference in the lives of those who truly believe. There is an assurance that, sooner or later, the Owner of our beings will supply EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR NEEDS, no matter the adversities. 

Entry price

"Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." Galatians 5.19-21

Anyone who is willing to be different and make to a difference in this world - and to inherit the Kingdom of God - has to pay the fair price, which is to behave according to God's Kingdom. Or would it be possible to live by the darkness and still inherit the Kingdom of Light?

Where and when?

"Then you shall again discern between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him." Malachi 3.18

The promise is crystal clear: you shall discern again. And who made this promise? The Lord of Hosts. Where and when should it be fulfilled? The only place where we could see this difference is right here on Earth, and it has to be now, considering that in the Kingdom of Heaven there will be no wicked people. 
Why the delay in the fulfillment of this promise? Because the surrender to the Lord has been slow.
The difference will only be seen when those who are faithful surrender body, soul and spirit in truth.

Spirit of power

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1.7

Fear is a spirit that dwells in the minds of those who are distant from the Creator. However, this same spirit is empowering those who are possessed by it to do what is evil.
But the Spirit of God gives us power to overcome evil, love to love even our enemies and a sound mind, which means balance, not to be radical.

The outcry

"This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles." Psalms 34.6

The poor man from this passage was the Psalmist himself. He cried and was heard, not because he deserved, but because of the faith in the compassion of the Almighty, expressed through his outcry.
That's how it works: God does not take into account the degree of the sin one commits, nor its amount, much less professed religion, but a sincere expression of faith in His Word.
