DOING WRONG

Colossians 3:23
And whatsoever ye do, do [it] heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

There is no teaching in scriptures be it of the books of the old testament or in the record/writings of the new testament that suggests that doing wrong will go unpunished.

Why do some teach and act as if we can get away with doing wrong?

Colossians 3:25
But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

The book of Proverbs divided its teachings between the good(prudent) and the simple(foolish/sinner).

Proverbs 22:3
A prudent [man] foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.

Christ said:

Matthew 7:19
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Because we identify a tree from its fruit:

Matthew 7:20
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Can a believer say that they do not know the difference between right and wrong?

Galatians 5:19-23

We cannot remain toddlers forever!

Hebrews 5:12
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which [be] the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

That is why John wrote:

1John 3:7
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

Never get comfortable with doing wrong. Do not get your hands into it, because it sinks like a pit, the more you dig in, the deeper you sink.

We receive God's mercy to dwell in His righteous, and as Christ prayed for us, the Heavenly Father will keep us from evil.

John 17:15
 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

May all our work be pleasing to the Heavenly Father, may we continue making the Son proud.

Glory to God.

We are blessed.

Love
