Overcome evil with good

Overcome evil with good Overcome evil with good. ISN good idea? No? But what does it mean exactly? How can we apply this idea to our pure Christian walk? The term comes from chapter 12 of Paul? S letter to the Romans. It is found in verse 21, Do not be overcome with evil, but overcome evil with good. One could say that the book of Romans is written in three parts. At first Paul presents the Gospel through this difficult chapter 8, then through the Chapter 11 describes God? S plan for the Jews and pagans. In the last third of the epistle, which provides practical lessons for members of the church in Rome. E s of these lessons? S now.It is interesting to explore that in chapter 12 Paul speaks of evil in the context of those who were persecuted for their faith. Paul himself was persecuted and, finally, sent to death by the Romans for their faith in a broader sense Christ.In this verse not only applies to those who persecute us for our faith. It applies to any person or group that there is no treatment for any reason. May times over the years have advised me very angry Christians who had been harmed by someone, somehow. Your feedback is always something along the lines? Well I? Ll show! If they? You're going to do it for me? Ll hear me? Ll ... This reaction is perfectly human. But is not God? S way. The whole subject of Chapter 12 is that we should not retu to evil with evil. That would be vindictive. The province is the vengeance of God alone. What God expects of us is to retu to an increasing amount of kindness and charity to the poor until it reaches a point that can not mistreat us. Indeed, the new life of this verse says TRANSLATION? Do not let evil get the better of you, but overcome evil with good. God expects from us, because it is not easy, but because he knows that a great effort on our part.In his famous comments Mathew Henry has this to say? The line of our duty is clearly marked and, if our enemies are not melted by persevering kindness, not to seek revenge, which will be consumed by fire the wrath of God, to whom vengeance belongs. I am particularly impressed by Henry? And the word? Gentilezza perseverance. "We do not react with the goodness that can survive only in retu for kindness, goodness, but the worst thing that can reject evil. What spiritual weapons you have! "When? I worked with people in such situations that I have? I have always been told? is not about them its about you and the kind of person you want to be. The first is it done? Overcome evil with good? part of their daily Christian walk, as soon will be closer to God. " Remember vengeance belongs to God. Our weapon is the overflowing goodness that comes from our relationship with Christ. Build their sense of good in every occasion, and the war with the evil that has always worked hard to make your own.Robert A. Crutchfield is president of Kingdom Relationship Ministries.
