Be Wise to What Is Good, Innocent to What Is Evil

Romans 16:19-20

For your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, but I want you to be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil. 20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Today’s Truth

Paul is giving us clear direction on how to live a Christian life. We should cling to what is good and stay away from what is evil.

Discussion Questions

What does this passage tell us about Paul and what it means to live for Christ?
Do you have any fears when thinking about turning away from sin?
What is the good that we should be thinking on? Do your thoughts and desires dwell on what is good or lead you to sin?

About the Author

Chuck Adair

If you ask Chuck his favorite thing in life to do, he would tell you it is the teaching and preaching of the scriptures and to call all people to engage in the great adventure of abiding with Christ. He desires to connect people with the richness, adventure, and fullness of life that comes through Christ alone and to reach the unchurched, de-churched, dead-churched, and unmoved. Chuck is married to his best friend Kristin and has two adult children, Taylor and Linley. Kris and Chuck believe the quality of their marriage rises and falls, not on circumstances or feelings, but based on their daily abiding with Jesus (Jn 15.5).
