Let us look at 1 Peter 3:11 as Peter shows us the second step to loving and enjoying life: "Let him turn away from evil and do good;" The KJV says "Let him eschew evil..."
The word eschew means more than just "avoid". It means "to avoid something because you despise and loathe it." It is not enough for us to avoid sin just because sin is wrong; we ought to avoid it because we despise it, we hate it. Just as Christ hates sin, so should we.
My friend, we are commanded to turn away from evil and do good. When we turn away from evil we turn to God; When we turn to God we commit our life to godly living seeking God’s will.
