Is there good and evil? Is there right and wrong? For years academia and the world of science has been telling us that there is no such thing as good and evil, no such thing as wright or wrong. They have been telling us that right and wrong is simply religious dogma designed to control us.

Now all of a sudden academia, and science are all a buzz talking of social justice, and the evils perpetrated on certain groups in our society. I find this really interesting since they have been trying for so long to convince us that there is no good or evil, no right or wrong. You see without right or wrong, there is no justice! Without good or evil, there is no Justice!

We all know deep within our being that there is right and wrong. We feel it whenever we do something good, that welling up of good unexplainable feeling in our chest. When we do wrong, just the opposite feeling occurs. Why is that? Gods word says that He has written His Law on our hearts. In other words, He has given us a conscience. An inner guide.

When we try to ignore this inner guide bad things begin to happen. For one thing there is a nagging thought always that we are not doing good, but in fact we are doing evil. You see, there is no middle ground. The bible teaches that if we do not do good, we in fact do evil.

This is why so many of our young people today are depressed and suicidal. They have been lied to, bamboozled! They have been taught to violate their own conscience. That conscience is always there to remind us of right and wrong. To remind us that we didn’t do good. This reminder comes especially strongly when we are quiet, when all the noise of the day has dissipated, and we lay down to sleep. There is no peace, the battle rages.

So what is this battle of good and evil?

God is battling for our souls, wanting us to do life His way. Satan is battling to keep us away from God and His way. Good vs. Evil.

Doing life God’s way leads to peace, joy, unity. These things come because when we follow God’s way because there are basically two laws that govern our being. 1. Love God above all. and 2. Love everyone else like you love yourself.

Evil says, you are different to me, so I will hate you. Evil starts by hating God, then hating others. We blame God for our troubles, then we blame others and lash out looking for revenge, but calling it justice.

God created all men equally. We are not different in His mind, no matter color, race, status, or location.

Do you want peace?

Peace begins by listening to the conscience, that law that God has put in our hearts. Most of us know what is right and wrong.

Real peace comes when we realize that God has already served justice on His own son, on our behalf. You see Jesus died a terrible death, in our place, so that our wrongs can be righted in God’s eyes.
