Hello everyone,
We often times wonder what is right or wrong, so we turn to the scriptures to find out what is right and wrong, or what is good and evil. Several writings ago, I did write on something related to this. The point here now is what makes a thing right and another wrong?
In order to know what is right or wrong, good or evil, we need to take a look at the origin of this decision. Now, the laws of the land determine what is right and wrong. For example, the country Austria says drinking of beer is right while smoking is wrong, but in Romania, drinking of beer is wrong while smoking is acceptable. Now is this not rather confusing in determining what right and wrong are? So if this is how Man decides, what is God’s right and wrong?
There was nothing like a rule stating what is right or wrong from the beginning. When God created man, He placed two trees in the garden, the tree of life and tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Now before Adam and Eve ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they had no idea of what was good or evil. If they didn’t have any idea of good or evil, then how were they living?
Adam and Eve just followed just what they were told to do without questioning orders; their hearts were designed just to follow God. But the moment they ate of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, they started questioning orders, using their logical reasoning and making decisions by themselves, but it hasn’t worked for them, this was what brought about the creation of laws and order. The truth here was that due to the eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Man was bound to never obey law and order but to question it. This was why Man could never keep the law of God, but Jesus wasn’t under the dispensation of good and evil, but to follow the Holy Spirit.
As you become a new person in Christ by becoming a Believer, you have a new Spirit which is the same as Christ’s which the same as God’s is, so you have His ways in your heart. This is why when God speaks to us through the Holy Spirit we obey easily because it is our life naturally. So, what is good or evil, right or wrong?
To know what is right and wrong is not to know what is right or wrong, but to know what the Holy Spirit says that corresponds to the Word of God. This only applies to Believers because those who are not in Christ are living under the law which has been abolished, so they are living in ignorance, this is why it is the duty of every Believer to tell those who are ignorant of the new Spirit and live a brand new life full of perfection.
This new life is so simple, but Man has decided to make things complicated because we have trust issues with God who is trustworthy till the end of time and beyond.
May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
