The Choosing Ground

This life on earth is a choosing ground. We will choose good or evil our wholes lives and it is our choice.

God tells us to choose the good. He pleads with us through His word to learn to hate the evil and to love the good. Believers are faced with this same choice. The only difference between a believer and non believer is that the believer has the power of the Holy Spirit to choose forever the good, until the evil is actually hated, and has no appeal at all to the heart that God has changed into His own image.

Darkness lurks in the darkness and the deeds of the flesh hide there. The light has overcome the darkness and while the darkness can still hide and lurk doing its dark work, there is coming a day where the light will expose it.
God is so kind to warn us of this coming day so that none will be ashamed. But the sad truth is that very few choose light. Why? Because they love evil. Why do they love evil? Jesus says in John 3 that it is because their deeds are evil and this is what they prefer. They are lovers of evil.
When God uses a very sharp example of a very stern truth, we know it. A dog returns to its vomit and a pig to its slop. These are Jesus’ words, don’t miss that. Why? A dog loves vomit. A pig loves slop. They don’t love the good. They prefer the evil.

The danger here is this: There is nothing in the Bible that says a true believer will continually struggle with the love of sin. Not one thing. Instead it says that Jesus’ sheep hear His voice and follow only Him. They will not follow another voice. A tree is known by its fruit.
Can a true believer dabble in evil knowingly choosing it?

I’m sorry. The Bible says no. A true believer loves the good and hates the evil.

Are you increasingly loving good and hating evil? I hope so. If not, a day is coming and can be the next minute, we don’t know, when your love of evil and every evil deed and thought will be exposed. And you will live eternally in your choice. Jesus warns that many will think they are children of God when He will tell them to go away. He doesn’t even know them. Please hear this. This is a clarion call to those who think they believe but still love sin and evil. Choose the good!

Satan lies and calls evil good. How many people who have heard the gospel and even believe they are saved, have chosen to call evil good and stay in it? Many.

Love the good. It is your choice. Be transformed by The Holy Spirit. Call to the one true God and He will help you. Jesus is ready to forgive and transform.

Here is a warning: If you are one who loves evil, you are not a victim. You just love evil. You hate the good. It’s that simple. If you are content with that then go your way.
A person who longs to be clean will be clean. A person who loves filth will remain filthy. Nothing can be done for them. A person must choose the good AND hate the evil.

Meditate on that.
