YOU ARE NOT OF THEM
Read John 15:18-25
Verse for Meditation: "If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you” (Joh 15:19)
The Bible draws a clear line in the relationship of the saints with the world. We are made to understand that although we live in the world, we are not of the world. We are called out of the world, from the darkness of the world, to manifest the light of God. We are chosen from the world to farm a holy nation of God in the world.
“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy” (1 Pet 2:9-10)
Having been delivered from the darkness of the world, we are to turn our back to the complex things of the world, which are of darkness.
“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him” (1 Joh 2:15)
The world and its system are oppressive; hence, as a man opens his heart to the things of the world, he loses his freedom in the world. You cannot love the things of the world without being a slave to the world. The world is the master to those who love it. Since a man cannot have to masters, you cannot maintain a balance between your love for the world and your love for God.
“Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God” (jam 4:4)
The Master was so clear about it: the world hates us because we do not belong. We are not to be bothered about the hatred of the world. The reason for this hatred is that as light in the world, we will always expose the evil in the world. Once the world begins to love and embrace you as a child of God, there is a problem somewhere. Once a lamp so blend with darkness that you can no longer recognize its difference, that lamp has lost its light.
“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” (Rom 12:2)
Once there is a pull in your heart towards the things of this world, you need to cry out to God. You cannot pretend for a long time. In every alliance between the world and the children of God, the child of God will always be a loser. Please be warned!
