Every deliberate act, good or evil, is preceded by though. Sowing positive and virtuous thoughts reaps good fruitage. Conversely if seeds of selfish desire are allowed to germinate in the mind, a bumper crop of evil is likely to result. thus it could be said that man is as good or as evil as he chooses to be.Happily, the Bible indicates that goodness can be learned.(Isiah 1:16, 17). Love is the compelling force to do what is good, since "love does not work evil to one's neighbor. when we cultivate love for people, it is unthinkable for us to act in an evil way toward anyone.
Why is it worth the effort to "walk in the way of good people"? Because good will ultimately triumph over evil. The Bible states: " Evildoers themselves will be cut off.. Just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more....But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace." God will remove all traces of evil. What a glorious future awaits those who work diligently to practice good!.
