1/5/20

Exodus 8, Luke 11, Job 25-26, 1 Corinthians 12

 In Luke 11:24-26
Jesus teaches about partial conversions.
Evil cannot be simply kicked out of someones life, it has to be replaced by something good which is the Holy Spirit. We must "overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:21). For example, the weight of bitterness cannot be resolved by simply not stop being bitter; one must replace bitterness by genuine forgiveness and love for that person. Something even harder for myself would be to overcome greed. I can't stop greed by simply deciding to not be materialistic, I must fasten my affections on a better treasure, learn to be content with God and wonderfully self sacrificial.
