There is a huge difference between the fate of the false teachers and the fate of the righteous. While He brings judgment on the false teachers, God has given His children an undefiled and unfading inheritance.
In this key chapter in Genesis, God declares Abram/Abraham justified because of his faith in him, not because of any good works he did. We too are declared righteous on the same basis, by grace through faith in Christ.
Psalm 1 contrasts two ways of living, the way of the righteous and the way of the wicked. The thought life is key to both, and this psalm not only encourages a disciplined thought life leading to a fruitful life, but also describes the means and the motivation for this discipline.
