“Abstain from all appearance of evil.”
‭‭1 Thess‬ ‭5:22‬ ‭KJV‬‬
This verse has to do with our witness before others. Certainly God knows our hearts and our motives, but others can only see our actions. We must be careful that the things we do, do not represent the wrong things to people around us. If we participate in things that ‘appear’ to be evil, then those who watch us and follow us will consider that we approve it.
