The word for today is - Different!

Good morning,

The word for today is - Different!

 

Do you ever ask yourself,why do I feel different? Have you ever have the opportunity to meet someone from another culture, you will soon recognize the fact that they think and act differently than you do. Well, as believers, we are supposed to think and act differently than the people of the world. Our new birth and our new nature are all products of heaven. As a result, we are to be heavenly minded. You see, we need to know how to conduct ourselves, the way that the word of God has told us in His word.You see, instead of being partakers of the culture and mind set of this world, we are to attempt to share the culture and mind set of Heaven with this culture. Remember, we are from another world, read John 15:19, If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.. We are literally "ambassadors" from heaven to this world, read 2 Corinthians 5:20, Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.. We are to do all we can to share the culture of our homeland with the earth bound people living around us. We are to show and tell them how the citizens of Heaven live their lives. Since we are citizens of Heaven, we are to avoid living like the citizens of the earth. To answer the question read 1Peter 2:9-12,But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
