Discerning Evil

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” John 10:10 (ESV)

Jesus Christ is all about giving life to the dying, while Satan is all about forcing death upon the living. Anything that is associated with the abundant life is a target for Satan’s attempt to steal, kill, and destroy. So be a discerner of these things and judge for yourself if a particular way promotes life or death so you will know if it is from Christ or Satan.

It is also a good test of decisions and choices if you are wondering about your options. Choose the path, the person, the program, or whatever is before you that promotes life.

Let’s pray today for the Spirit of God to help us discern evil and trust in Christ.
