The phrase “the ends justify the means” can often be countered with “the means mirror the end.” When the means are bad, the end result is also bad. A tree is identified by its fruit (Matthew 7:18). A bad tree is bad because it bears bad fruit.

The journey and the destination are tightly linked. If you feel compromise is worth an end, your end will be compromised.

If your end goal requires a lie, then the end will become a lie. It will turn and devour you if you do not devour for it.

Let your means, without compromise, be founded in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control; against these, there is no law (Galatians 5:22).
