💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: People live their lives for many things: happiness, pleasure, wealth, relationships. Yet these things do not fully satisfy apart from a relationship with Christ. What good is it for anyone to gain all these things, yet to lose his soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for his soul? (Matthew 16:26). God’s people have been saved from sin and death and are called to live for righteousness (1 Peter 2:24).
To live for righteousness means we wholeheartedly realize that sin does not please God. Because of this, we pursue holiness instead of sinfulness in our thoughts, words, and actions. When we live for righteousness, we submit even our thought life to what is righteous.
But this godless, unholy "world" take its cues and influences from the devil, who the Bible says is the "prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience" (Ephesians 2). This "world's" culture, religions, and patterns of living are diametrically opposed to the righteous, rigorous, holy standards of God. We, who are in Christ Jesus, navigate this "world" and all of its satanic practices by keeping our focus on Jesus Christ and His soon coming. We live in this unrighteous "world" by giving our lives to Lord Jesus who bought us with His precious shed blood and saved us from the penalty of sin: eternal separation from God, being "thrown into the Lake of Fire" (Revelation 20:15) that blazes with fire and brimstone for eternity!
We, who are righteous through Christ Jesus, live in this fallen "world" by producing and bearing good fruits of repentance and righteousness! We live separately and apart from the "world!" All of this is possible through the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit who empowers us to forsake sin, live changed lives, and be obedient to Lord Jesus!
Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN BACK TO GOD!
