A BELIEVER DOES GOOD NOT EVIL
GAL 6:10 AS WE HAVE THEREFORE OPPORTUNITY, LET US DO GOOD UNTO ALL MEN, ESPECIALLY UNTO THEM WHO ARE OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH.
The main reason Christ came to take away sin for man is for man to become totally good and do good. (John 1: 29) This means that man would no more be walking with the heart of sin but the hearts of love. The heart of evil has given way for the hearts of love the day we received Jesus Christ as our lord and Savior. This means that a believer walks with the mind of Christ not the mind of man which is soaked in unbelief.  
This was the heart of man.
JEREMAIAH 17:9 THE HEART IS DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS, AND DESPERATELY WICKED: WHO CAN KNOW IT? 10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
GEN 6: 5 AND GOD SAW THAT THE WICKEDNESS OF MAN WAS GREAT IN THE EARTH, AND THAT EVERY IMAGINATION OF THE THOUGHTS OF HIS HEART WAS ONLY EVIL CONTINUALLY.
But the mind of a believe is different
PHIL 2: 5  LET THIS MIND BE IN YOU, WHICH WAS ALSO IN CHRIST JESUS:
At the point of conversion an exchange took place. Christ comes into our lives through the word by faith to give us eternal life. This is what the bible called New Creature. There is a creation that takes place when anyone receives Jesus Christ. It is a spiritual reality that births physical evidence. It is new birth that takes place in the mind of the new Creature. This would result to a new development of a new mind set in similitude of the mind of Christ. This is what the bible calls transformation. Change of form. Our minds changes form to be able to receive a new type of live. This is spiritual circumcision.
COL 2:11 IN WHOM ALSO YE ARE CIRCUMCISED WITH THE CIRCUMCISION MADE WITHOUT HANDS, IN PUTTING OFF THE BODY OF THE SINS OF THE FLESH BY THE CIRCUMCISION OF CHRIST.
(ROM 12: 2 2 AND BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD: BUT BE YE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, THAT YE MAY PROVE WHAT IS THAT GOOD, AND ACCEPTABLE, AND PERFECT, WILL OF GOD. )
1 PETER 1:14 AS OBEDIENT CHILDREN, NOT FASHIONING YOURSELVES ACCORDING TO THE FORMER LUSTS IN YOUR IGNORANCE:
It is only by constantly renewing the mind that a believer can overcome evil with good otherwise a believer who does not renew the mind could easily be overcome by flesh to do evil. Evil comes from the mind.
 MARK 7:21 FOR FROM WITHIN, OUT OF THE HEART OF MEN, PROCEED EVIL THOUGHTS, ADULTERIES, FORNICATIONS, MURDERS 22 THEFTS, COVETOUSNESS, WICKEDNESS, DECEIT, LASCIVIOUSNESS, AN EVIL EYE, BLASPHEMY, PRIDE, FOOLISHNESS:
MATT 15: 19 FOR OUT OF THE HEART PROCEED EVIL THOUGHTS, MURDERS, ADULTERIES, FORNICATIONS, THEFTS, FALSE WITNESS, BLASPHEMIES
No one could overcome evil with evil because the solution to evil is not in evil. The solution to evil is in good. Devil cannot cast away devil. Sin cannot drive away sin. That was why Christ came that sin might die.
1THESS 5:15 SEE THAT NONE RENDER EVIL FOR EVIL UNTO ANY MAN; BUT EVER FOLLOW THAT WHICH IS GOOD, BOTH AMONG YOURSELVES, AND TO ALL MEN.
 1PETER 3:9 NOT RENDERING EVIL FOR EVIL, OR RAILING FOR RAILING: BUT CONTRARIWISE BLESSING; KNOWING THAT YE ARE THEREUNTO CALLED, THAT YE SHOULD INHERIT A BLESSING.
To overcome evil with good we have put on the mind of Christ
ROM 12:21 BE NOT OVERCOME OF EVIL, BUT OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD.
It does not matter whether people reward your good work with evil deeds . It will not stop us from doing good.
PS 109:5 AND THEY HAVE REWARDED ME EVIL FOR GOOD, AND HATRED FOR MY LOVE.
Grace was not given to man for evil to abound but for the regenerated spirit to overcame the fleshy resistances in our souls and do good. This is fruit of the spirit. GOODNESS .
GAL 5:22 BUT THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING, GENTLENESS, GOODNESS, FAITH.
EPH 5:9 (FOR THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS IN ALL GOODNESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH;)
We cannot bear the fruit of the spirit in evil. Our recreated human spirit in all components produces goodness. Evil comes from a mind that has not been renewed with the knowledge of Christ.
But and unbeliever cannot bear the fruit of the spirit no matter how goo the act may appear. He can only be a philanthropist. When a believer does evil it means that the believer had left the mind soured with junks do to lack of revelation. This in turn made the believer to respond to the dictate of the flesh by the senses.
Let us always remember that the mind of Christ needs renewal.  TO HAVE THE MIND OF Christ is not a stagnant state of mind but a progressive state of mind that needs renewal with the knowledge of Christ every now and again until Christ comes. This active state helps us to do good constantly and consistently and abhor evil.

Glory to God.! Thank you Jesus

WE ARE ABLE MINISTERS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT ( 2Cor 3: 3-6)  3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.  4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:  5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God  6 ¶ Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament ; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life We should function according to our description. We should give life not condemnation

                         YOU DO NOT BECOME A SAINT BECAUSE OF WORKS Many times believers have called those who teach the truth about benefits of Christ death, burial and resurrection as those who teach the diluted Gospel but in actuality, they are those teaching the undiluted Gospel. The Gospel is not the mind of men. It does not have to appear pleasing to any man’s hearing to be the truth. Christ came into this world to take away the sin of the world. And he did it by offering His body for sin to die in the flesh. John 1: 29 ¶ The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD. GAL 1: 4 WHO GAVE HIMSELF FOR OUR SINS, THAT HE MIGHT DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD AND OUR FATHER. HEB 2: 17 WHEREFORE IN ALL THINGS IT BEHOVED HIM TO BE MADE LIKE UNTO HIS BRE...

A BELIEVR IS THE TRUE IDENTIY OF GOD. God was invisible until Christ manifested in the flesh so that man could see God in the flesh and relate with Him the way He truly is. God is not anything outside love.( John 15: 12-27) Christ was the physical manifestation of the spiritually real God John 4:24 GOD IS A SPIRIT: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. In the Old Testament the prophets walked with God because they could only relate with God based on the shadows of things to come. This is the reason no believer would ever like to be like Elijah or Moses. Those men never had the accurate nature on God. But the believer do not only walk with God , the believer walks in God. John 1: 18 NO MAN HATH SEEN GOD AT ANY TIME; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. John 10:30 I and my Father are one. John 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: Romans 12:5 So w...
