Good and Evil

Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God. (3 John 1:11)

The apostle John instructed Christians not to follow evil, because those who know and live the Word of God receive the divine nature within themselves. Such a person, flooded by His love, is always willing to tolerate those who are not righteous, ready to serve and even forgive others.

Those who persist in doing evil will not experience forgiveness and salvation.
