START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) 3 John 1:11
Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.
DO NOT IMITATE WHAT IS EVIL BUT WHAT IS GOOD / 3 JOHN 1:11
As followers of Christ, we must be careful not to get caught up in behaviors, activities and pastimes that are common in the world but that do not reflect God’s character or promote His purposes (Deuteronomy 18:9). Many such things may even contradict His standards of truth and moral purity (Ephesians 5:1-7). We are not to conform to the pattern of this corrupt world (Romans 12:2). Instead, we must pattern our lives after the example of Christ and of others who have faithfully followed Him (1 Corinthians 4:16; 1 Thessalonians 2:14; Hebrews 13:7). We must be “imitators of God” (Ephesians 5:1; 1 Thessalonians 1:6), whose behavior and character are openly and positively distinct from those who do not follow Christ. Only then will people who are truly looking for hope and answers in life be able to see Christ in us and notice a difference worth considering in their own lives.
