CHRISTIANS ARE DIFFERENT
“They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.. Sanctify them by the truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be sanctified.” John 17 16-19
We have been set apart or ‘sanctified’ to be God’s special people. Jesus prays that we will be different from the world just as he was different. God’s priorities are our priorities, God’s people become our people.
There only way to become a holy, unworldly, useful, God-pleasing person is to know and follow the truth of God given in the Bible.
We are all missionaries, sent to our friends, families and others to help them believe in Jesus. Their eternal destiny depends on it. The secret of success is for us to be distinctively followers of Jesus and separate from the world, just as Jesus was.
Philippians 2:14-16, Ephesians 5:7-17, 25-27
