People who fear God and walk in obedience and humility are marked by ____ of evil.

• A. Moral restraint
• B. Radical avoidance
• C. Quiet indifference
• D. Gradual tolerance

Answer: (B)

A life that fears God and walks in obedience and humility shows itself through radical avoidance of evil. This means not just keeping rules or restraining oneself modestly, but actively and decisively steering clear of anything that could corrupt or hinder a relationship with God. It’s a wholehearted stance to shun evil in thoughts, habits, associations, and choices, reflecting a sincere reverence and commitment to live righteously.

Moral restraint can describe self-control, but it doesn’t capture the aggressive, wholehearted rejection implied by radical avoidance. Quiet indifference contradicts a reverent posture toward God, and gradual tolerance implies growing acceptance of evil rather than a decisive rejection.
