Christ, our crucified, risen, ascended, glorified LORD demands a life of separation. People who profess faith in Christ but know nothing of repentance are deceived β they don't know Christ.
Hear this enlightening message preached when Bro. Johnson was celebrating 50 years of Gospel ministry!
"Love not he world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the word, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust therof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever" (1 John 2:15-17).
"IF the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 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 15:18-19). |
