OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD


It is very essential at this point of our Christian history of trials and temptations to address the issues surrounding our responses related to definite act of cruelty, killings and wanton destruction of properties.
Christianity is simply one of those religions; it is lined up with all other religious bodies; you can hardly notice the difference until it is tried by the heating of the burning furnace; the incessant upheavals which interrupts our comfort zones and peaceful coexistence. Gal. 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
The standards of all religious prepositions are guided by the principles of the Law of Moses or some sort of self-man-made ideologies which are demonically; politically or philosophically induced. They know nothing but retaliation at every slightest provocation. They are of the world of darkness. They see no light whatsoever. No wonder, God declared from the beginning, ‘LET THERE BE LGHT’ and there was light (Gen. 1:3). The truth is always seen and found in the light of Christ the Son of God who shines in those who believe in Him. (Mt 4:16; Lu 1:79;
Jn. 1:4; Jn 1:9; Jn. 8:12)
No matter how much concerted effort you put in reconciling the true Christian with an unbeliever; you will not achieve the required results, because you are dealing with someone whose understanding of love and forgiveness is limited or constrained to religious laws and man-made methods, feelings and emotions and not the Christ-like approach. 2Co 6:14-16
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
