Don’t Take That Trail

3 John 1:11
Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

Why? Why do we do it? We are bent toward evil or sin for some reason. Think about it! As soon as we are born we are drawn to disobedience. It's as if those words, "Don't touch that, don't do that" carry a huge burden to actually touch it or do it.

If Eve could testify to us today she would share with you this same story. God said, "Do not eat of this tree" and it seems to be the only tree described in the garden. We read of its pleasantness to the eyes. We read of its possibility to make one wise. We also read of its nutrients and that it was good for food right? Satan made it appear this way unto Eve but in the end she was driven away by her own lusts. She followed evil because of its enticement.

Many, many are following evil today. How would I know that? Because the way to life everlasting is straight and narrow but the way to destruction is broad and beaten down. There are so many who follow after evil because it is appealing and easy. The straight and narrow way is a road less taken.

What are you following? Are you following the flesh and sin? Remember, we are bent toward this way. We must repent and trust upon Jesus Christ as our Savior. Stop following evil and follow Christ who is the only good. You cannot follow evil and good at the same time. It is impossible!

I have decided to follow Jesus,
I have decided to follow Jesus,
I have decided to follow Jesus,
No turning back, no turning back
