"To rest satisfied with existing evils, as if we could do nothing, is not obedience; but neither is it obedience to imitate the actions of the apostles"

This quote by John Nelson Darby is a suggestion that we should not be content with the wrongs that exist worldwide, however instead take action to make a distinction. He is stating that it is inadequate to just accept the status quo and do nothing, but neither is it enough to simply mimic the actions of the apostles. Rather, we should do something about it to actively work to enhance the world around us. We must be proactive in our efforts to make a distinction and not merely accept the wrongs that exist. We need to strive to be loyal to God's will and use our talents and abilities to make a favorable effect in the world. We should want to take risks and put in the effort to make a distinction.
