It is always right to do right and wrong to do wrong…

It is always right to do right and wrong to do wrong…

 

And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted Him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He (Jesus) said unto him, What is written in the law? how do you read? And he answering said, You will love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself. And He (Jesus) said unto him, You have answered right: this do, and you shalt live...Luke 10:25-28. And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God...Romans 12:2. Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable (not seeking to be cleansed), and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate (without faith)...Titus 1:15-16.

 

When asked how to get to heaven or eternal life…Jesus asked how he understands or reads the written word of God and the response was to love God with all of your heart, mind, soul, and strength and your neighbor as yourself. The whole time the lawyer was trying to get Jesus to slip up and teach a false doctrine…talk about hypocrisy. Do we really treat people the way we want to be treated…yes or no? Do we forgive no matter how many times we been done wrong…do we instruct others who will turn from their wickedness… Jesus said not to cast your pearls before swine unless they turn on you and hurt (rend) you. Some people will never forsake their evil ways like the thief loves stealing…or the porn they will not forsake…or the lies they will not tell the truth about…etc.

 

We have to change and obey God rather than men if you want to be saved. Jesus said to forgive your brother if he comes to you and says he repents. How many never repent and ask for forgiveness when they are found out…thus not loving God with all their heart? I know addiction is hard to quit…and some have fallen of the boat so many times they need a to always wear a life jacket on the shore. We have a promise… For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind...2 Timothy 1:7. We can overcome when we love God with all our strength and mind…it is always right to do right and wrong to do wrong.

 

Prayer

Father please meet our souls deepest needs for a sound mind and to know the mind of Christ so we can always know the right thing to do by our neighbors…please reveal the truth to us so we can behave properly…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
