Abhor The Evil

"Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good."  Romans 12:9.  In the world, there is both good and evil.  We cannot take part in both.  As Christians, we must hate or detest the evil, and we must cleave or join fast to the good.  Evil is of the devil, and good is of God.  Evil is born in hell, and goodness is born in heaven.  God, because of His holiness and goodness, abhors that which is evil.  Evil violates the character of goodness.  Evil opposes all that is right.  Jesus spoke of those who loved darkness because their deeds were evil.  We are to hate all forms of evil.  We are to avoid every evil path.  Evil leads one away from God.  Goodness leads one to God.  Evil is only overcome with goodness.  To abhor the evil is to flee from the snare of the devil.  We are to attach ourselves to the goodness that flows from God.  Goodness is a virtue that helps oneself and also helps others.  Goodness glorifies God, and evil blasphemes God.    Evil takes one to hell, and goodness takes one to heaven.
