DO NOT IMITATE EVIL

 

3rd John 11: “Dear friend, do not imitate evil but what is good. Anyone who does good is from God. Anyone who does evil has not seen God.”

 

There are so many different ways evil has permeated society that it is not only difficult to do good, but it is so easy to do evil. Every time I use the word evil I always think of him, the d-evil; fitting I’d say.

 

We must strive to imitate Jesus, as difficult as it may be; but at the very least we should try. I find it very helpful if I think more of God during the day; to take a moment and look up and say ‘thank you Lord.’

 

My mentor once said the following: “If it isn’t in faith then it isn’t of God;” i.e. whatever it is we might do or say. This is a difficult statement but it does make one think and puts us or keeps us on the right track. For more on good and evil I pray that you will: Read the Bible.

HOW WE KNOW

 

1st John 5:1-2: “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands.” Christ means Messiah.

 

If we love God, if we carry out His commands, then we will know the truth’s of the Bible. The commands of Jesus are: To love Him and to love others as we would love ourselves.

 

You can’t believe in God unless you accept the fact that Jesus is the Christ (Messiah). The only way you can accept Jesus as the Christ is to do so on the basis of faith. I can guarantee if you step out in faith and truly accept Him you will experience God’s love; you will experience a change in your life and best of all you will be born again (born of God).

 

It isn’t rocket science; it is simply a faith step to know Him and to love Him.

LIVE THROUGH HIM

 

1st John 4:9-11: “This is how God showed his love among us: he sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”

 

The choice is yours: if you want to live you must accept Jesus Christ as your Savior. You must believe He died on the cross and rose again to be with the Father where He now is. If you do you will spend eternity with Him in Heaven; if you don’t you will be separated from Him and spend eternity with Satan in a place you don’t really want to go to.

 

Faith is the key ingredient for one to believe; knowledge helps one to develop faith; the best place to obtain knowledge is the Bible; this is the 130th time I have asked you to read the Bible. Are you listening?

 

I can understand if you don’t believe what I’m saying and I’m not asking you to, but I am asking you to: Discover the truth for yourself by reading the Bible.
