Psalms 1:1-6 The righteous & the wicked: What distinguish the righteous from the sinner? The love of the law of God which he/she meditates day & night. As a result of it, he/she doesn't associate with evil. His/her life also florishes in righteousness by the hand of the Almighty. The love, knowledge & application of the law of God set us apart from sin & the world & brings fruitfulness in life.
