Not of the World

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. John 15:19

Religion likes to explain the deadness of unregenerate religious professors by calling them “worldy Christians.” This word from our Lord would seem to render such a term inappropriate. Was He only speaking to “spiritual Christians” when He said this? He made no such designation. If the word of Christ seems to render our religious phraseology inappropriate, surely it is because it IS inappropriate.

I know that some believers are less gifted than others. Some enjoy the peace that we have in Christ more and are able, by God’s grace, according to the measure of His gift, to experience and express the things of God in varying degrees. But no believer is of this world. Righteous Lot may vex his soul for a time, but the Lord knoweth how to deliver the Godly out of temptations (2Peter 2:8-9). It is not our place to judge whether a man is a Lot or a Judas, nor do I consider myself able to recognize a Lot in Sodom, or a Judas among the twelve. Both were discovered in time and revealed by God to be who and what they were.

We must leave that to God, but religious proselytizers are just blatantly dishonest to suggest that a man or woman can love this world and have no interest in Christ and have an unscriptural category created for them so that they can be included in the kingdom of God. There is no such category. If you love this world and it loves you, know that God has revealed that a friend of this world is an enemy of God (James 4:4), and if you (I) would now seem to be so, I pray we (you) might soon, by God’s grace, be persuaded better things of you (me). Heb 6:9
