Knowing the Good

“These things have I written unto you concerning them that try to deceive you. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” 1 John 26-27

I don't know how many times I've heard people debate the benefit that comes from knowing that which is wrong, as oppose to simply knowing the good. Some believe it's good to study the bad and have knowledge about the things of this world...so we can further recognize the good. Even I have debated this, and often used this as an excuse to watch the films I want to see. However, the more we are occupied with things that are wrong, the less we are filled with the Holy Spirit. Read this verse again and try to argue. If we get to know the truth...really know the truth, we will be able to recognize the wrong when it comes along.
