“Let good people continue to do good, and the licentious continue to do wrong”—reason why God says in Revelation 22:11

Jesus is called “image of God” (Colossians 1:15; Hebrew 1:3; John 5:19), hence he too said: “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Mathew 15:24) and advised his followers "Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel." (Mathew 10:5-6) And also told his followers to share spiritual knowledge only with the worthy ones. (Mathew 7:7) Israel is defined as “those pure in heart” (Psalm 73:1) thus deal with others without impure motive showing unconditional love. Hence the pagans or gentiles are defined to be those who show conditional love. (Mathew 5:47)

Hence God would naturally say “Let good people continue to do good, and the licentious continue to wrong.” HE knows the potential of His children. He has people like Abraham whose life-style was to OFFER FIRST CHOICE TO OTHERS and his grandson Joseph who is known for making law against adultery when there was no law and obeyed it. (Genesis 13:9; 39:6-13) Such people have been found in history and they are symbolized as “wheat that produce fruit” (Details HERE) and are found even today. For living examples Click HERE

They will not change because they experience the bliss that comes from manifesting God’s image of unconditional love. Others too are not likely to change as they too are delighted over the temporary joy that comes from conditional love. (Luke 6:43-45) This situation has its benefits as it makes everyone happy.
