Lailah Gifty AkitaOnly the fear of God, can deliver us from evil.
About This Quote
We can all agree that most of us are not born with any natural inclination to do good. We were just born into the world, with all the evil instincts that comes with it. However, when we become Christians, we are given a new desire in life. We want to be good people who serve God and do what is right.
It is this new desire that is given through the Holy Spirit in our hearts that gives us the power to do good. We want to do good things because we know that God will help us in times of need and when we fall, He will always keep helping us get back up again.
