The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks. Luke 6:45 NIV
�Good,� �good,� �good,� and �evil,� �evil,� �evil.� Jesus was a master teacher, the greatest teacher who ever lived. He wouldn't have repeated Himself if He didn't want to make a point!
Just like a tomato produces tomato juice and an orange produces orange juice, good produces good and evil produces evil. Do I need to say it again? Good produces good, and evil produces evil!
A person who has allowed Jesus to come into his heart is a person who has chosen good over evil. God places within each of His children an inner desire to please Him and be conformed to the image of Christ. God, being perfectly Holy, cannot be pleased by evil, but only by righteousness. As we seek to live like Jesus, the good stored within us is exhibited in the work we do. Others begin to see us as the light of the world. Then, in turn, our witness leads them to seek God.
Those who have rejected God are still under the curse of the fall. They have the evil of the Evil One within them. They continue to exhibit evil. Oh, they may have the appearance of doing �good� works, but their hearts are still evil. Without the forgiveness of sin, God cannot accept their works as anything but evil. Their witness takes people away from knowing God.
Jesus said it best! Good comes out of a good man! Evil comes out of an evil man!
And by the way, in Heaven, the �good� guys win!
