The equation for all evil is given in Proverbs 8:13:
To fear the LORD is to hate evil;
I hate pride and arrogance,
evil behavior and perverse speech.
I put this verse in an equation form:
Attitudes of heart (Pride and arrogance) + what we do (evil behavior) + what we say (perverse speech) = Everything evil
But this is not the only equations found in this verse:
Fearing the Lord = Hating evil.
You cannot claim to fear God and still cling to evil in your heart, behavior, or speech. Daily we must search our lives to discover if there is any part in us which is showcasing evil. We must confess it as sin. For if we do not, we dishonor God instead of revering Him. Search your own life today and discover which equation is true of you.
