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 impossible 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, it’ll tell you.
