Choosing the Hard Right Over the Easy Wrong Verses in Bible

Bible verses about doing the right thing

Apart from Christ we can't do the right thing. We all fall short of God's Glory. God is a holy God and demands perfection. Jesus who is God in the flesh lived the perfect life we couldn't live and died for our iniquities. All men must repent and believe on Jesus Christ. He has made us right before God. Jesus is a believers only claim, not good deeds.

25 Important Bible Verses About Doing The Right Thing

True faith in Christ will cause us to become a new creation. God will give us a new heart for Him. We will have new desires and affections for Christ.

His love for us and our love and appreciation for Him will drive us to do what is right. It will drive us to obey Him, spend time with Him, get to know Him, and love others more.

As Christians we do the right thing not because it saves us, but because Christ saved us. In everything you do, do it all for God's glory.

10. 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to humanity. God is faithful, and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation He will also provide a way of escape so that you are able to bear it.
