Psalm 100:4 English Standard Version (ESV) Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!

His name is Jesus.

Jesus is seated at the right hand throne of God, the power hand. All authority has been placed in Him.

Colossians 3:3 English Standard Version (ESV) For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

2 Samuel 18:13 English Standard Version (ESV) On the other hand, if I had dealt treacherously against his life (and there is nothing hidden from the king), then you yourself would have stood aloof.”

We learn our lessons about attitudes from the Old Testament. We live in the New Covenant when we accept Jesus by faith. The old instructs the new about how we acted before with attitudes we need to avoid.

Sanctification is an ongoing process. 

John 17:18-20 English Standard Version

18 As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth. 20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word,

What did Jesus set apart?

Ezekiel 37:27-28 English Standard Version

27 My dwelling place shall be with them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 28 Then the nations will know that I am the Lord who sanctifies ******, when my sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.”

****** is Israel which in the New Covenant terms is the Bride. Circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit. (Rom 2:29)

Hebrews 5:14 English Standard Version (ESV)But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.

Judge this for yourselves, is good and evil the same as right and wrong?

Matthew 23:23 English Standard Version (ESV) Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.

I do not mean to mince words but good and evil appears to be associated with the condition of the heart while right and wrong speaks to the choices we make.

Knowing what is good and what is evil does not mean we always know what to do about that discernment.

Jesus always made the right choices in what to do when He was confronted. Sometimes He remained silent, sometimes He called people out, sometimes He acted with mercy and sometimes with justice.

Jesus spent each night alone with the Father and the results of that communion appears in the scripture as doing the Father’s will because He knew what the Father expected.

When it comes to good and evil we may find that our humanity gets in the way of seeking God’s will for what to do about our discernment. Discernment in and of itself does not carry with it instructions.

Psalm 17:15 English Standard Version (ESV) As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.

Seeking God’s will means we have to come to Him without any unconfessed sins in our life.

Honor and respect comes first before discovering His will. Then we will get an opportunity to act as Jesus acted, faithfully.

Psalm 100:4 English Standard Version (ESV) Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!
