Good or Bad?

How are you? “GOOD” Well that’s what most people say but is it true? Pure good is so powerful that it can overcome all evil. There is only One who is perfectly good, God. You’re called and created to be like Him, and because He’s good you can be good. After all why would you want to be bad? If you do what’s bad you will be sad but if you do what’s good you will be glad. So be wise to what’s good, like you know you should, and God will “be on your side” just like He said He would.

Rom 16:19-20
19 For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil. 20 And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
NKJV

Ps 118:6
6 The Lord is on my side;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me?
NKJV

Gal 6:7-10
7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
NKJV

Acts 10:38-39
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
