The Nature of Evil

On Sunday we were discussing a quote from Jon Piper about the nature of evil. Here is an excerpt:

God did not just overcome evil at the cross. He made evil serve the overcoming of evil. He made evil commit suicide in doing its worst evil. Evil is anything and everything opposed to the fullest display of the glory of Christ. That's the meaning of evil.

I am to always reveal the glory of Christ... in its fullness... anything that I do that promotes myself interferes with His glory... anything and everything....

Just what does that mean?

How am I to live with an awareness of His Spirit of Love flowing through me... or might I be unaware at times, but still fighting the good fight of faith?

What does it mean to "fight the good fight of the faith" for me today?
