The idea is that you can&#8217;t just get rid of evil. That just leaves a void. Instead you must replace it with good. So, looking at these verses will show you how to replace evil (in heart, mind and action) with good.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at these verses more closely:<\/p>\n<p>Proverbs 3: 1 &#8220;<span class=\"smallcaps\">My<\/span> son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First you need to remember the law! You can&#8217;t keep it if you don&#8217;t remember it. Next, it&#8217;s one thing for your brain to know, it&#8217;s another for your heart to know. It&#8217;s kind of like people who smoke. They know that it&#8217;s harmful and is literally killing them, but they are so addicted to the nicotene that thir personal desires and self-control are rendered almost useless. The heart, or spirit of a person, must be given power, and the desire to do righteousness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Proverbs 3: 3 &#8220;Let not mercy and <sup>a<\/sup><a title=\"TG Truth.\" type=\"B\" href=\"http:\/\/scriptures.lds.org\/en\/prov\/3\/3a\">truth<\/a> forsake thee: <sup>b<\/sup><a title=\"Deut. 6: 8 (4-10).\" type=\"A\" href=\"http:\/\/scriptures.lds.org\/en\/prov\/3\/3b\">bind<\/a> them about thy neck; write them upon the <sup>c<\/sup><a title=\"2 Cor. 3: 3 (2-3).\" type=\"A\" href=\"http:\/\/scriptures.lds.org\/en\/prov\/3\/3c\">table<\/a> of thine <sup>d<\/sup><a title=\"TG Heart.\" type=\"B\" href=\"http:\/\/scriptures.lds.org\/en\/prov\/3\/3d\">heart<\/a>:&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This invokes similar thoughts.
