In Isaiah, chapter five, verse twenty, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” On the one hand, society often exalts sin by calling depravity mature strength, or saying immorality and perversion true virtue and commendable freedom. On the other hand, society opposes righteousness by calling it evil. Note these two common examples where this pattern occurs: Sexual perversion is called a legitimate lifestyle that should be openly accepted, while opponents of such conduct who accept Biblical standards of sexual morality are called bigots who perpetuate oppressive prejudice.
Pro-abortion advocates are called “sensitive persons” with a deep commitment to the rights of women, while active pro-life supporters are called “extremists” or “religious fanatics.” Believers, however, must commit themselves wholeheartedly and irrevisibly to God’s standards of good and evil as revealed in His Word.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not,” as in John one, verses one to five.
God has given us free will to choose how we desire to live our lives. There is no force to serve God. However, Romans one, verse twenty-eight, declares, “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; All will one day have to stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
