The Everlasting Covenant

The Just do not Resist

To the rich oppressors God says, “Ye have condemned and killed the just, and he doth not resist you.” ¹ The injunction, “I say unto you, That ye resist not evil,” ² means just that, and nothing else; and it is not out of date. It is just as applicable to-day as it was eighteen hundred years ago. The world has not changed in its character; the greed of men is the same now as then; and God is the same. Those who heed that injunction, God calls “the just.” The just do not resist when they are unjustly condemned and defrauded, and even killed. EVCO 171.1
