Evil to be Supplanted by Good
Isaiah 1:16-17
Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil;…


Sin is to be overcome, not so much by maintaining a direct opposition to it, as by cultivating opposite principles. Would you kill the weeds in your garden, plant it with good seed: if the ground be well occupied there will be less need of the labour of the hoe. If a man wished to quench fire, he might fight it with his hands till he was burnt to death; the only way is to apply an opposite element.

(Andrew Fuller.)
