Good and Evil
Romans 13:12
“The good is for us always only that which has been wrested from evil.”
—CREATION AND FALL
The good needs to be won. Truth needs to be discovered. Reality needs to be embraced. Faithfulness requires commitment. The light needs to be sought after. Forgiveness needs to be asked for. Commitment is won through the struggle of working through options. Obedience comes through laying down our lives. Power results from true servanthood. And love needs to be imparted to us. Nothing good simply falls into our lap. Good comes when evil and selfishness are resisted and God’s grace and direction is grasped with both hands.
Meditation
The good, which is God’s quality of good, is a good that is wonderfully generous and amazingly tough.
