We live and work in this world of sin and death, and we must learn to live in it though we are not of it. It is important that we separate ourselves from the patterns of this world not conforming to it, and if we still do, then no longer. What does the Bible say concerning friendship with the world? (James 4:4) Friendship with the world is hatred towards God. By having friendship with the world, we show that we love the world. Can we love this world? (1 John 2:15). We must not love this world or conform anymore to its pattern, but live a new life in Christ. (Galatians 2:20)(Romans 12:1-2). We must carry out God’s will until the end, not relenting or giving into the temptations of this world. If we succumb to the world, then we will be entrapped in sin once again. God showed us this example 2000 years ago. (2 Timothy 4:9-10). Demas was a faithful follower of the way, yet as time passed he couldn’t forget the world that he loved so much. By this he lost his salvation. Where is he now? We must never befriend this world again, and if we still hold it in our hearts then we must let it go. We must set our minds on the things above not on earthly things, so that in the end it will go well with us. Let’s proclaim the Spirit and the Bride boldly for the salvation of the world before the great and dreadful day of the Lord comes upon men.
