Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
You too can make the world a better place.
This is Pastor Daniel Stevenson.
I'm Pastor of New Heights Holy Shep Baptist Church of East Toledo and director of the
Southside Life Station.
And you're receiving this message because you opted in to be encouraged.
We're working through Galatians 6, 7 through 10.
And today we're going to look at 6, 9.
It says, let us not lose heart in doing good for in due time we will reap if we do not
grow weary.
I hope you remember 6, 7 and 6, 8.
I sent those out over the last couple of weeks.
And in this context, and it's pretty straightforward, we've got a shot right now to make a difference.
You can overcome evil with good and we are not to lose heart.
Don't quit, don't give up, don't surrender, don't give in.
We've got this.
We can make a difference in the world.
We've got an opportunity to do good right now while the world is such a messy place
and so many bad things are going on and deceptions are very real and efforts to steal from others
and so on.
We can do good in due time.
We will reap if we do not grow weary.
That is to say, we will be rewarded for our good efforts in the Lord.
When Jesus comes again, there will be a reckoning and others will reap what they wish they would
not reap.
But we will reap according to the good that we have done.
If you've accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and been saved, then the judgment
for us is not whether we'll go to heaven or hell.
That's already resolved by what we've done with the one whom we sent, Jesus Christ.
What will be questioned is what we did with what we knew, what we did with what we believed.
Now that you believe in Jesus, what are you going to do about it?
Well, I'm going to tell you what you're going to do.
You're going to not lose heart in doing good for in due time, we will reap if we do not
grow weary.
God bless you as you serve the Lord.
Don't quit.
No one can stop you from doing what's right in the Spirit of God.
Worship the Lord in His church, serve His people, preach and teach in whatever you can
in the gospel.
God bless you today.
