[SOLVED] Bash: if condition as variable

How can I use a variable that has the conditions for the if statement stored in it?

my test script
Code:
condition="[ a = b ] || [ a = a ] || [ c = a ]"

if "$condition"
   then echo "true"
   else echo "false"
fi

output
Code:
$ ./test2.sh
./test2.sh: line 3: [ a = b ] || [ a = a ] || [ c = a ]: command not found
false
