Matthew 7:7-12
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened"
This passage states that if you ask you will receive, for example if you ask for forgiveness, he will forgive you. Seek and you will find' means if you seek God, you will find him, or even if you seek some sort of pleasure or happiness you will find it if you believe. Knock, the door will be opened' signifies that God has open arms for you if you want him to, even though a person could be wicked he can still do good to his children, so this passage demonstrates the Good in people even though they could be evil. …show more content…
Matthew 9:1-8
"Jesus got into the boat and went back across the lake to his own town, where some people brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a bed. When Jesus saw how much faith they had, he said to the paralyzed man, Courage, my son! Your sins are forgiven.' Then some teachers of the law said to themselves, "This man is speaking blasphemy!" Jesus perceived what they were thinking, and so he said, "Why are you thinking such evil things? Is it easier to say, Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, Get up and walk'? I will prove to you, then, that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins." So he said to the paralysed man, "Get up, pick up your bed, and go home!" The man got up and went home. When the people saw it, they were afraid, and praised God for giving such authority to people.
If you have faith in Jesus, then anything is possible, even though the teachers of the law doubted Jesus' powers, Jesus saw to it that the paralysed man be healed. The passage shows an act of good, how Jesus heals this man and gives him the strength to carry his bed and walk home. The teachers were negative, yet when they saw the miracle that Jesus had performed to this man they couldn't believe it, and from that point didn't doubt anymore, didn't think any evil thoughts, they just praised to God. If we have faith Jesus will be there with us, no matter if we have done evil, because we will always be forgiven if we believe.
Matthew 12:35-37
"A good person brings out good things out of a treasure of good things; a bad person brings bad things out of the treasure of bad things. You can be sure that on the Day of Judgment you will have to give account of every useless word you have ever spoken"
The passage is saying how depending on who you are inside, whether good or evil, in the end, on judgment day for every foul word you have said you must account for why you said it. This passage is a definition of good and evil, for as you have said evil, but in the end you will attempt to redeem that evil, and talk about the evil words you have spoken.
Luke 6: 43-45
"A healthy tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a poor tree bear good fruit. Every tree is known by the fruit it bears; you do not pick figs from thorn bushes or gather grapes from bramble bushes. A good person brings good out of the treasure of good things in his heart; a bad person brings bad out of his treasure of bad things. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
This passage is demonstrating that if you are a good person you will do good deeds for as a person with hate, evil or greed in their hearts won't act out good deeds. In comparison, you wouldn't choose an evil person to do an act of good, because it wouldn't be right. A good person will do good things, a bad person, bad things. That is the difference between good and evil, God vs. Satan.
Luke 11: 9-13
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you.
For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened"
Much like the passage from Matthew this passage illustrates that if you ask for forgiveness, god will forgive you. Defining "seek and you will find" is that if you seek for help, God will find you and help you. God will make sure you take the right journey, and will guide you along the way. What is meant by "To the one who knocks, the door will be opened" means if you knock on God's door he will open it and help you even if you are a sinner. This passage expresses a good message about the works and wonders of God. We are his children there for he will accept us even if we have ever done any evil.

12:9-21
"Love must be completely sincere. Hate what is evil, hold on to what is good. Love one another warmly as Christians, and be eager to show respect for one another. Work hard and do not be lazy. Serve the Lord with a heart full of devotion. Let your hope keep you joyful, be patient in your troubles, and pray at all times. Share your belongings with your needy fellow Christians, and open your homes to strangers. Ask God to bless those who persecute you- yes, ask him to bless, not to curse. Be happy with those who are happy, weep with those who weep. Have the same concern for everyone. Do not be proud, but accept humble duties. Do not think of yourselves as wise. If someone has done you wrong, do not repay him with a wrong. Try to do what everyone considers to be good. Do everything possible on your part to live in peace with everyone. Never take revenge, my friends, but instead let god's anger do it. For the scripture says, "I will take revenge, I will pay back, says the Lord." Instead, as the scripture says: "If your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them a drink; for by doing this you will make them burn with shame." Do not let evil defeat you; instead, conquer evil with good."
This passage is telling us how to act like good Christians, to love one another with great honesty, to hate what is evil in this world, to be respectful and humble at the duties we do, not proud. Share your belongings and have open your homes to strangers and open your heart to the needy, don't ask God to curse the people who persecute you, but ask him to forgive and bless them instead. The passage basically states that don't act greater then others, be humble and love and live in peace with everyone. Defeat evil with good.
1 Thessalonians 5: 12-28
"We beg you, our friends, to pay proper respect to those who work among you, who guide and instruct you in the Christina life. Treat them with the greatest respect and love because of the world they do, be at peace among yourselves. We urge you our friends, to warn the idle, encourage the timed, help the weak, be patient with everyone. See that no one pays back wrong for wrong, but at all times make it your aim to do good to one another and to all people. Be joyful always, pray at all times, be thankful in all circumstances. This is what god wants from you in your life union with Christ Jesus. Do not restrain the Holy Spirit; do not despise inspired messages. Put all things to the test: keep what is good and avoid every kind of evil. May the god who gives us peace make you holy in every way and keep your whole being spirit soul, and body free from every fault at the coming of our lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you will do it, because he is faithful. Pray also for us, friends. Greet all the believers with the kiss of peace. I urge you by the authority of the lord to read this letter to all the believers, the graces of our lord Jesus Christ be with you."
This passage demonstrates that we should ready to be obedient to leaders and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for any honest work, to speak evil of no one, to avoid arguing, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all men.
For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in hatred and greed, hated by men and hating one another; but when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of the renewal in the Holy Spirit, which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal
life.
3 John 1:11
"My dear friend, do not imitate what is bad, but imitate what is good. Whoever does good belongs to God; whoever does what is bad has not seen God."
The passage above is stating that everyone should do good, and if you do good you have seen God, and know what God wants you to do, to be good. But if you do evil you have not seen God, you have not yet fulfilled your life of doing good deeds, so until you see God, either in prayer, church, anything you cannot do any good. Always follow the path of good and never give in to the dark side.
1 Timothy 6: 6-10
"Well religion does make us very rich, if we are satisfied with what we have. What did we bring into the world? Nothing! What can we take out of the world? Nothing! So then, if we have food and clothes, that should be enough for us. But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and are caught in the trap of many foolish and harmful desires, which pull them down to ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a source of all kinds of evil. Some have been o eager to have it that they have wandered away from the faith and have broken their hearts with many sorrows."
The passage shows us that if we have our essentials in life, clothes, water, food then we don't need to be greedy and want more, want more money, want more power, that is not what God would want us to be like. Being money hungry is an act of evil and as a result of this evil many hearts will be broken with sorrow, and many bad things will happen. Greed is an act of evil and should not be tolerated for as God wanted everyone to be equal, to share with one another, to not envy the powerful, but we unfortunately don't live in a world like this, we live in a world of destruction, hate, greed, evil, this was not what God intended us to be like with the only chance we have in this world.
Titus 3: 1-8 "Remind your people to submit to rulers and authorities, to obey them, and to be ready to do good in every way. Tell them not to speak evil of anyone, but to be peaceful and friendly, and always to show a gentle attitude towards everyone, for we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, and wrong, we were slaves to passions and pleasures of all kinds, we spent our lives in malice and envy; others hated us and we hated them, but when the kindness and love of god our saviour was revealed, he saved us. It was not because of any good deeds that we ourselves had done, but because of his own mercy that he saved us, through the holy spirit who gives us new birth and new life by washing us. God poured out the Holy Spirit abundantly on us through Jesus Christ our saviours, so that by his grace we might put right with god and come into possession of the eternal life we hope for. This is a true saying. I want you to give special emphasis to these matters, so that those who believe in god may be concerned with giving their time to doing good deeds, which are good and useful for everyone."
This passage puts forward the message that you should be a humane person with good morals and beliefs. Never speak evil, never see evil, and never hear evil. Be good to everyone as God would you want you to be. Follow the footsteps of great leaders which have respected everyone and have compensated for the evil they have ever done. This passage is showing the significance of doing good to one another, to set an example of Jesus, for as he took his life for us, so by doing good we are doing what Jesus did for us in our own way. By doing good deeds towards others we will have the eternal life with God.
