In But not Of | |
|---|---|
|
A: Live IN the world. Most Christians are not called
to escape from the real world but to live in it and engage it.
Why should the devil work unopposed in the world that God loves? |
B: Do not be OF the world. "Worldliness" refers to
the lusts and evil systems in the fallen world. We are to
avoid and oppose these. God calls us to an abundant
life beyond what this world offers. |
|
-B: Worldly: We may be easily distracted by the cares and riches and pleasures of this world. |
-A: Escape: In order to resist the world's temptations we must come out of the world and be separate. |
