Amos 5:15
Amos 5:15
Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate.
This verse teaches us to love what is good and hate what is evil, reflecting God’s heart for justice and righteousness. It is not enough to passively avoid sin; we are called to actively love the good and work to establish righteousness in our communities. This means standing up for justice, speaking out against injustice, and living a life that reflects God’s moral standards. Loving what is good involves embracing God’s truth and aligning our actions with His will. It also means rejecting the values of the world that conflict with God’s Word. In a world where evil is often celebrated and good is dismissed, Christians are called to be a voice for righteousness, standing firm in the truth of God’s Word and working to establish His justice wherever we go. This is a call to be agents of change, promoting goodness, truth, and justice in our spheres of influence.

Romans 12:21
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 3:10
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.
