Why is it important not to envy the wicked?

Answered in 1 source

Envying the wicked is misguided because their prosperity is fleeting and under God's judgment.

The psalmist in Psalm 37 warns against envying evildoers because their success is temporary and ultimately leads to destruction. Instead of jealousy, believers should view the wicked with pity, recognizing their bondage to sin and impending judgment. As noted in the sermon, the righteous have eternal inheritance and lasting joy in Christ, making earthly success insignificant compared to the eternal rewards of the faithful.
