Exp God – Sept 19: Evil, Good and Good, Evil
[20] What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter. (Isa 5:20 NLTse)
It is Satan’s practice to convince people that what God calls good is actually evil and what God declares evil is, in fact, good….Despite the absurdity of Satan’s logic, he continues to deceive people into doubting what God has clearly said…
…We, too, will face the temptation to call something good that God has declared wicked. We may be persuaded that we can accomplish more good by lying than by telling the truth. We may claim that we are mobilizing Christians to pray for someone in sin when, in fact, we are spreading gossip… We will also be tempted to call evil that which God declares is good…
