Evil for Good, And Good for Evil

In today's world climate, the lines of good and evil, right and wrong have become so blurred that this generation is having trouble defining them. That's the world we live in today. Isaiah talks about this:

Isaiah 5:20-21 NIV

[20] Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. [21] Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.

He gives the reason for this development in the world when he says, "Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight."

People who are bold, arrogant, clever in their own minds come up with vague notions such as "live your own truth." How does the world find real truth with such an erroneous notion? This is from a selfish point of view. See the problem? Your "truth" might infringe upon my "truth."

People insert ideas like this in a matter of seconds over the internet, and influence billions of people all over the world. Someone can say something is good when it's evil, or something is evil when it's good, and can cause all kinds of trouble. A lot of the confusion we see in the world today can be attributed to this kind of thinking. 

Where can we find the real truth about all things?

Jesus said, " You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free."

If we want to be "set free," where do we find real truth? God's Word is truth. The Holy Bible.

Jesus said this when He was praying to the Father before His crucifixion:

John 17:17 NIV

[17] Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. 

So in a very practical way, we read the Holy Bible to find out what real truth is. We learn what is true. We learn what is good. We learn what is evil. We learn what is right. We learn what is wrong. We learn what is sin. The Bible, the Word of God is where we find all answers.

Whether Christians or not, God gives us the framework in which to live our lives. This is found in the Word of God. So grab a Bible and start finding truth today!!

Love you all,
