Good morning!
As we are getting ready for tomorrow night's service, where we will see the transformative power of Jesus in action and the Holy Spirit at work, the following devotional comes to mind...taken from "Truth for Today" by John MacArthur
"Do not love the world or the things in the world"---1 John 2:15
"As Christians, we are new creations and members of the church of Jesus Christ, and therefore unique. As a result, we should not live like people in the world.
The world is proud; we are humble.
The world is fragmented; we are united.
The world is impotent; we are gifted.
The world is hateful; we are full of love.
The world doesn't know the truth; we do.
If we don't walk any differently from the world, we won't accomplish Christ's goals. If we live like people in the world we are essentially imitating the dead (Ephesians 2:1-5) and that doesn't make sense.
Christians are like a new race. We have a new spiritual, incorruptible seed, and we must live a lifestyle that corresponds to it. We are new creations who have been suited for an external existence. As a result, we can discard our old lifestyle and be conformed to the life of Christ."
