3 Signs God Is About to Turn What Was Meant for Evil Into Good for You

3. If God Is Allowing You to Proclaim the Gospel More Because of This Evil Person Coming Against You, This Is a Sign God Is Actually Turning What Was Meant for Evil Into Good

There are countless other ways that God turns what was meant for evil into good. I’d actually love to hear how God has done this in your life in the comment section below.

According to Scripture, one of the primary ways God uses evil for good in our lives is by using these bad things that happen as a way of proclaiming the gospel in ways that would not have otherwise have happened unless this evil occurred. One great example of this can be found in the life of Paul who was imprisoned by evil people for proclaiming Christ. In Philippians 1:12-14, however, Paul states:

I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel, so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ. And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.”

Because Paul was put in prison, God allowed Paul to witness to those in the prison. Paul’s boldness was then also used to inspire other Christians to be even more bold for the Lord as well. This is what God wants us all to do when someone tries to bring evil against us. When we keep proclaiming Christ even when people do bad things against us, this is how God turns what was meant for evil into good.
