Right is Right
"Right is right even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it."
- Augustine
In an election, the majority wins. But truth does not have to be elected or win out over wrong to be right. God's Word (truth) is always right, even if no one is doing it. Everyone around Noah was doing the wrong thing, yet it was still wrong. Just because everyone accepts or promotes the wrong way of thinking doesn't change the face that it is wrong. Abraham Lincoln once said, "How many legs does a dog have if you call it's tail a leg? Four. Saying that a tail is a leg doesn't make it a leg." Saying wrong is right doesn't make it right.
And no matter how much the world says that the Bible is not true, that our faith excludes people, and that Heaven and Hell are not real, it is still right. No matter how many times people say it's not true, it will always be true.
When you stand alone remember that someday "every knee shall bow...and every tongue confess", no matter how much the defy the right while on earth.
When you stand before God, you don't want it to be the first time that you have acknowledged Him as Lord. So stand for the right, even when everyone else gives in to "the majority" who is standing for wrong. And remember- with God on your side, you will always be in the majority.
Amen! It's amazing how we can allow ourselves to be intimidated by people. Most people would rather be liked by others than right with the Lord. Thank you for sharing this, Megan!
ReplyDeleteUsually the majority chooses what is "easiest" not what is best!
ReplyDeleteTruth is ALWAYS true! Jesus said: "I am the way, the TRUTH and the life..."
