Good vs Evil

Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God. – 3 John 1.11

This verse really puts it nice and short and succinct. In fact there really isn’t a whole lot to say.

Do not follow evil
Follow good

The classic battle of good vs evil – there it is.

It is a battle which has gone on since Adam and Eve were in the garden. Eve’s choice was simple – follow what God said (good) or listen to the serpent (evil). We know what she did. And we know what happened over and over again throughout history.

Elijah told the people to choose God or Baal. Joshua told the people to choose God or their old gods.

Good or evil – what will it be?

You and I will have that same choice over and over today. In fact, we probably already have chosen to follow good or evil.

There is not a whole lot to say here. It is simply up to us to follow evil or follow evil. Which will it be?
